  • I enjoy a lot of the NFL Network shows. Every now and then you'll be flipping around and find something interesting.

    You won't get every game, but you'll get a lot of them in replays.

  • Sunday Ticket is going to be about 100 dollars cheaper than it was last year if you elect to not receive games on your phone/Playstation 3.

    It will be about 250-300 dollars, and you get every game regardless of blackout (according to them). I never once had a blacked out game last season.

    In my opinion it's worth it, but I think they should replay games in the offseason as well. It just feels odd paying for something you only use for 4-5 months.

    That would awesome if it's a little cheaper than in the past. I had a couple of Chargers games blacked out last season and I'm sure there will be a couple more this year as well unless DirecTV changes that rule for us. I always had a problem with paying to get "every game" and having the game blacked just because the Chargers fans don't buy tickets to watch their team play.

  • Last year you could get Sunday ticket on the ps3 without having directv. It was around $350 I'd I remember correctly. Not a bad price compared to the cost of going to a bar and risking a DUI. I know I have to get tanked to watch them play.

    If I didn't have season tickets and go to 5-6 games a year, I'd buy a PS3 and do that.

    I now have a X-Box, but only have 3-4 games for it so it's not like I would be giving up a great deal of software.

    that might be my way to go as well. i've got appletv right now just as a sort of media player for my hdtv that grabs internet and other content throughout the house's computers and get hulu (and other....) maybe i can see if it will work with that.

    just don't want to have to change IP and phone and cable that i have now.

    PS3 is also a Bluray player and you can now start getting Amazon Prime Instant streaming through them. It's a nice system.

    yeah i'm just afraid that i'd become some call of duty/madden gaming freak and never see the light of day again. HA!

  • Call of duty?! Pffffftttt.... real men play Battlefield.

    I've had Sunday Ticket for years, and I'm with you Mark. it's really not fair to the home subscribers who've shelled out $300 to be blacked out because the "local team" can't sell out. What the NFL doesn't want is a bar getting the game and making a killing off a non-sold out game.

    With Sunday Ticket you don't get every game if you happen to be in an NFL teams "local market". Besides the potential blackouts, you won't get the Sunday Night game, or the Thursday games either. (Though if you subscribe to Direct I'm fairly sure NFL Network is included in even their most basic packages). And if a game is available from your local station, it won't be carried on ST either. Here in Dayton- all the Bengals away games are blacked out on the dish- because Channel 7 is carrying the game, and they don't want to lose the local advertizing revenue.

  • When I lived in AZ I had to go and watch the games at a local bar. At the time in 2000 I was barely 18 and it was like pulling teeth to even get them to let me in to watch the game... I decided the easiest way to get around all that nonsense was just to move back to Ohio! 😁

    i lived in mesa, az for a while years back and it would suck to go to the sports bar at 9 am on a sunday and they wouldn't serve booze until noon. talk about waitresses getting bum rushed. it was like a feeding frenzy.
