[PS3] NFL Sunday Ticket on PS3

[NAHSTE]

I am not a current subscriber so I won't drop the money on it, but I am excited for the NFL and Sony. This is a huge deal, IMO.

I'll probably just go the sports bar route if I need to see a Falcons game, and if not I'll settle for streams. $350 is a lot for 4 months of programming.

Would be awesome if it was free for current subscribers, the feed from my PS3 is much cleaner than the one from my directv.

Lots of complaints about the price...it's not that bad. I live in Louisiana, so I never get 49ers games. We only have two primetime games this year, so if I just wanted to get this deal to watch the other 14, it would work out to about 24 bucks per game. Way cheaper than going to the game, and even cheaper than going to a bar and watching it (if you factor in gas money, food, and drinks). And that's not even including the fact that you get every other game in the NFL to watch your favorite players, or the most enticing match-ups, or your clutch fantasy player.

I won't get it myself because I practically live offshore, so I'll end up missing most of the games anyway...but it's a solid deal for the land dwellers, without a doubt.

i guess it doesn't pay to be loyal anymore.
just getting directv, want the nfl sunday ticket for free....sure why not.
a lot time subscriber to directv and sunday ticket. screw you, pay me....no discount. i guess they are trying to lure subscribers from fios and comcrap.

I get to watch my favorite team every week but I can't get enough (regular season) NFL football. I'll probably be one of the suckers that splurges on this.

I would like to see a free trial on this similar to MLB TV just to see how good the streams are. I don't want to risk spending $340 on a crappy stream. That shit better be crystal clear.

This thread reminded me to call DirecTV and see if they would help out a loyal subscriber (been with them for almost 10 years now) and sure enough.. they did.

Knocked $200 off my Sunday Ticket price.. I'm only paying $140 for it (6 payments of $23)

:smug:

If you call, they usually will give you discounts on packages. I called about getting a 2nd HD DVR and the ability to see all recorded shows on any tv in the house. I got that plus DirecTV Cinema for 1 payment of $100 installed. I got MLB Extra Innings, NFL Sunday Ticket, and NHL Center Ice last year and plan to renew them again next season.

Cable TV companies are losing a ton of subscribers. They will give loyal subscribers a deal. Frankly, I should call my satellite provider (a customer since 1999) ... I suspect they'd give me a deal.

 

[calgaryballer]

Will this be available in Canada too? I am cutting my cable at the end of the month. Already have Setanta online, but will be relying on streams for almost everything else. A way to get high quality NFL on my big screen would be attractive...

 

[BigBucs]

They have to allow multiple logins with this. Whats the point of Sunday ticket if you cant watch multiple games simultaneously if you so choose with multiple PS3s? You gonna charge full price only to allow a game to be watched ona single television? Makes no sense.

 

[Epidemik]

Sounds like a good deal.

I usually work sundays so this is not something that I would find enticing at all.
However, I have the Justin.TV app so I can always find a stream of any game at work. The only games I watch are the Sunday and Monday night games which are nationally televised anyways.

 

[strahanfan92]

This year and for the last 2 or 3 years I have used my Uncle's sunday ticket online (another person who has dtv specifically for NFLST, which I bet is a good percentage of subscribers) to watch the games like last year at my dorm. Now, I have a ps3 and would love to buy the $50 package that my Uncle who doesn't have a ps3 surely doesn't want... but, my brother also wants to buy the package for his appt. If we can do this on multiple systems that would be great, but I'm doubting it.



Also, would really like to confirm that there won't be a delay with the live feed and the one on the ps3. Sometimes while using mlbtv there would be a 5 sec delay and sometimes even more.

 

[BigBucs]

Who gives a fuck about a 5 sec delay? There are delays watching on live TV. All I want confirmed is multiple users to be able to sign into the same account at the same time. If thats the case Im looking for 3 other mfers to break down and we can share this shit.

 

[strahanfan92]

I'm more talking along the lines of if there is a delay that's like slower than gamecast updating...

 

[BigBucs]

Ehhhh... I dont care about the gamecast when Im watching unless Im checking stats or some shit during halftime or a commercial.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

I am psyched about this offer! I will definitely be getting NFLST. Even at the steep price tag, it is worth it to me. I have been relying on streams the past 2 years and it has become harder to find reliable and consistent streams as of late.

Yeah same here, been watching streams for about 4 years now, I'm excited for this.

damn near every one i used in the past has been shut down.

being in montana and the vikings now sucking they won't be on tv here very much and like st. fran said, if i go to the bar to watch i usually end up spending over 20 bucks anyway. i'd rather be able to sit at home have some friends over, smoke a nice fatty, cook up some food and just relax in comfort and not have to put up with idiot steelers fans (only good sports bar is also a steelers bar)

Count me as a guy that'd be down for that...but I just don't see it happening.

lol..hence the reason they didnt allow multiple log ins in the past.

 

[BigBucs]

What are you referring too? This is new. :noidea: And again, the good thing about having Sunday ticket is being able to watch multiple games at the same time. Why should one have to pay such an insane amount when that feature isnt available on the PS3? Granted there are people like myself who will try and work the system but there are also those who have multiple PS3s and will want to have them all hooked and streaming diff games.
