NFL Sunday Ticket $149.99 through PlayStation Network or call DirecTV for price match YMMV


http://us.playstation.com/psn/nfl/

I actually called DirecTV and they matched the price! I gave the rep the exact website and she offered it to me for the same price or you can order through the PlayStation network.

I pulled the deal off slickdeals.net

Thought people would like to save some extra $$$

I don't suppose you know if I need DirecTV service to get this on PSN? I'd love to have it on my PS3 but I have cable...

Nope its through the PSN.

 

[TJ]

Shoot. I'd rather give up directv and just stream it through my ps3.

Thanks for the info. I got a decision to make....

awesome

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

That is great if they will do it by calling Direct TV

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

I just tried to get it for $149 and Direct TV would not do it and said that they had no way to give that price to anyone. I asked to speak to someone else and was told that it isn't in their system for that price so there is no way anyone can do that for anyone. This is after me swearing that they have done it for others.

The Playstation link makes no sense.

It say's $149 in the starburst (not saying what you get)

When you read lower in page it says $99.99 for first 2 months and $199.99 for the reminder of the season.

I can't believe the page got approved before releasing.

$149.99 is a limited time offer.

Robbery.

I guess they can charge whatever they want because the people are willing to pay it.



But theres no reason why it should be that much. Its a matter of the service provider pressing a button so you get that package. Its no more difficult for Sunday ticket to reach your screen as Cartoon Network does.

while this is true, Cartoon Network didn't sign a $3B/year deal for their services. Supply and demand I guess

 

[ThunderCard]

They should match the price. Just give them the website URL and you should be good to go. I usually go through the customer retention number as they are the best a giving out deals. I don't even have a PS3 anymore so mine will be right through directv

I don't know.... If I live in another state and don't have Cardinals games on local TV i wouldn't consider it robbery. Besides, Directv has to find a way to recoup the huge amount of money they pay the NFL for the service

I've heard of a few people on the board getting for Sunday Ticket deals through the Retention number. What's the secret? Do you just keep saying you'll cancel until you get a deal for Ticket?

 

[Shane]

Hmm. Considering that Directv bid for and paid the NFL for exclusive rights to Sunday Ticket. I would be fishy of this. How did Sony all of a sudden get rights to broadcast it?

 

[Russ Smith]

I looked at the FAQ and it says the 149.99 is for one month only?

 

[stewdog1]

Everyone,
Retention is the only way to get the good deals. The front line reps don't have the ability to do anything like this.

To get to retention, say cancel at the automated teller and then confirm it. When it connects you, don't tell them that you want to cancel. Just say that while you want ST, it is too expensive and if there are any specials that they have.

For example, they are offering it free to new subs on their homepage. Ask if they can do something similar. If you don't get what you want, just walk away. Sometimes is takes a couple of tries to get it.

Just don't get ugly or threaten to cancel, or they will take you up on that.

Not saying it's real, but most likely it is.

The deal was probably for exclusive sat/cable deal. This is a different outlet.

I'm not sure if you know, but the big thing for the next game consoles (as an extension to this generations guinea pig of initial implementation) is for your media to be streamed through the next xbox/ps. It also might be the last generation to use a disc drive for games/movies. There are disc storage techs out there as possibilities, but by the time it's needed bandwidth and hd space might make them moot AND take a piece out of the hardware chain that can fail. Also cut costs.

You can already get ESPN, HBO, etc through your xbox, and obviously netflix, etc. On PC's things like Valve's "Steam" whole business model is about digitally delivering games. EA has 'Origin'. Steam is also relatively close to having their big summer sale as well fwiw to anyone out there.

The console is becoming an entertainment box, and is linking up with cable providers and stuff. Of course they also want interactive ads, and all sorts of crazy stuff that just makes users a free information gatherer. But this is where it's heading. The next generation of consoles is expected to be highly linked up to your cable provider, and may just allow you to watch everything over the net as you could on regular cable box/tv.

Thus since it's a streaming service, it's different than sat/cable in contract language. Direct TV just bought exclusivity for sat/cable...which most thought, was full exclusivity.

The big question is...what about HD? They won't get much from people having HDTV's hooked up to their ps3 if they deliver it in SD.

But interesting nonetheless and another option for people. Not sure of THIS exact deal, but streaming of all things is becoming an option, and it should get around any deals made years ago...in fact, be a way for the NFL to do TWO exclusivity deals if they want to. One the normal cable/sat, and one digitally streamed (like for PS and NOT xbox...or vice versa). It's why Blockbuster is dead, there is little need for a hard copy now.

This is DirecTv going through PS3. It still remains their property. The curious thing is that it says it's for the 2011 NFL season.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I thought they had the same type of deal last year but it was only available to the customer if they had no access to Directv. Example being, if you couldn't get a clear signal to receive DTV then you could purchase ST through PS3.

 

[Azlen]

From the FAQ. 149.99 only gets you 1 month.

NFL Gamepass have just announced the prices for their non US online games package. Comes in at £99.99 (was £149) last year.

All games bar two shown on Sky tv live and available on split screen etc every Sunday. Also include preseason and all NFL network program.

Pretty good value this season.

 

[Russ Smith]

Whatever you do don't get excited about NFL Sunday Ticket MAX like I did, what a total crock. It is essentially a cheaper version of Sunday Ticket to go which was $350 last year. MAX is 300, but there's a catch they don't tell you on the website until you actually try and order it. you have to subscribe to a Directv TV package to get it, even though the whole point is supposed to be for people who can't get Directv(no line of sight etc) you pay to be able to watch it on your computer or tablet or phone. But in addition to $300, they want you to pay a monthly charge for a TV package they know you can't possibly watch because if you could, you'd just get Directv.

Complete insanity.

I hope they go bankrupt what complete idiocy. I either have to pay several hundred for a PS3 and then several hundred more to stream, or I can order it online but I have to pay money every month for tv channels I don't need. They're costing themselves millions of dollars.

Link no longer works and their site does not have any info on it either

After Directv dropped Viacom today, we're deciding to switch but it's going to be a lot harder to do so without the Ticket being on PS3.

They may still have it but just removed the info who knows. They're a weird company the person I chatted with(online customer service) outright admitted they're getting tons of pissed off people when they try to order this. I was interested in the ST Max since I can't get the dish and he admitted they get furious responses when they tell people they have to pay for a monthly tv package even if they're only getting Max because they can't get Directv.

So it's possible the feedback on this was so bad they yanked it. It's so obvious there's a big market for it for people why they don't just make it easier for people to pay to watch games is beyond me.
