I broke my driveshaft

Looks like I need a new driveshaft.  Are there any driveshaft tips or options to think about, or is it just a steel tube?  I checked the u-joints within the year, and I still see grease on the cross that's still bolted to the differential.  I was turning onto the side street by my house, not on the gas yet, and it just fell.  The round end around the cup broke off, so the shaft is toast.

Was your drive shaft the one with the smaller or bigger universals in it ?

Not necessarily, the end can be removed from the tube and replaced. Any driveline shop can do it.
