IGN:
Last year, DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket came to the PlayStation 3 for $340. This year, the package is back and allows you to live stream out of market NFL games. Plus, it's cheaper at $299.95.
Microsoft wants you to perceive the Xbox One as a way to get your TV and entertainment in a bold new way. While it was known this was coming since the Xbox event back in May, Microsoft has offered a little more detail about what these sports offerings entail when they debut in November. Between the split-screen delivery of content and multi-tasking that the Xbox One's capable of plus its use of HDMI-in to deliver cable TV content, the One could be a magical living room all-in-one device.
Laugh all you want at this, it will sell systems. There are a lot of people out there who use their systems (PS3 and 360) for more than gaming.
General summary of comments so far...
"I don't live in NA so it doesn't matter to me, it won't matter to anyone then"
GameInformer: "For years, people who lived away from their hometowns only had a few options to watch their favorite football team play on Sunday. You could go to a local bar and spend a ton of money on food and beverage to watch the game, scour the web for an illegal stream, settle for an audio feed like the olden days, or sign up for DirecTV and drop hundreds of dollars on the NFL Sunday Ticket package. Now you can skip the new satellite TV service altogether and access the NFL buffet via your PlayStation 3.
After a bumpy first few weeks where service issues forced Sony to offer PlayStation Store vouchers to angry subscribers, I spent my Sunday taking in the first 12 games on Sunday to evaluate whether Sony worked out the kinks and, most importantly, whether the PS3 version of the Ticket is worth the steep price of admission."
does anyone know i this can be used with more than 1 psn acct if so i would split it with my friend.
This is WAAAAY to over priced. I had the baseball package this last year, it cost $120.00 & worked perfectly with the ps3. Not to mention baseball is 162 games for $120 that comes out to $1.35 per game. The price they want for football is insane!!!!!
Definitely wanting to get this. I was reading up on some of the forums and people were saying that it had very poor performance issues last year. Especially at the beginning. Anyone on here know for sure if it is or was running good after theses issues? I really want to get this, but I don't want to pay for something that costs that much only to be frustrated. Any one?
Okay now if I remember correctly, Sunday Ticket was only $85 last year on PS3.
I'm almost certain that it was.
I remember looking @ the price n thinking hard on it cause I felt it was a great price. It wasn't no damn $200-$300 for it!
N besides, @ a price like that u'd b better off just getting it through Directtv, they're giving u Sunday Ticket free as long as u sign up for their package, and u'd still b able to checkout the games on ya PS3.
That's how I did it last year.
It did have it's hiccups, n wasn't always smooth, but last year I would give it a B- for my overall experience.
I honestly wouldn't get it for no damn $300.
Lol, hell no!
Game on.
I might use my friends direct tv but if hat doesnt work i will buy this.
Woohoo!
Freat stuff.
They charge you the full 300 at once this year rather than monthly payments like last year.
