Second, the argument that it would be cheaper in a bar...are you kidding? Even on the cheap bar tab of say 25 bucks a Sunday, times 16 weeks is $400. Not to mention having to actually go to a bar, overpay for beer and as a chiefs fan watch the 28" LCD in the corner.
Last, for those that actually want the ticket, they have two choices. Subscribe to DirecTV or go through the PS3.
The PS3 price is 300 annually, $600 for two years.
To do DirecTV, one has to purchase a basic TV package averaging $38 per month for two years to get the Sunday Ticket for free, the first year. So the next year it's going to be $150. All told, for two years that's $1062. That's not including any taxes, rental fees for equipment and any potential installation charges.
Last but not least, the PS3 option is a good option for those that cannot get a dish to work or are in a condo/apartment that doesnt allow the dish.
Im buying it this year and I think it's a better value than DirecTV. Ive always wanted to get the Sunday Ticket, but never wanted DirecTV.
