Sunday Ticket comes to PS3

[The Bad Guy]

Those of you who don't want DirecTV, go out and buy a PS3, then shell out another 340 for Sunday Ticket.

Call them and ask 1-800-345-7669

I called Sony again a few days ago and they assured me that is was coming back to the PS3 this year.

I still get the ticket though.

Yeah that definitely seems to be the case. They show the Chiefs here to start the season, and if they go 0-3 or something, they'll start showing them less and less. If it turns out the Chiefs are hot garbage (like they have been most of the last 7 years) then they'll flat out start showing the "game of the week" or whatever. So yeah, they show a lot of Chiefs games, but for the times they don't you'll wish you had the ticket.

So for someone like me, what is the best option?

1) I have 25Mb ethernet to my house. Even with that, streaming via Justin.tv and the like is a crapshoot.

2) I am a DirecTV subscriber but my contract expires middle of August and I am not going to renew.

3) I almost NEVER get to watch the games live due to having 2 kids nearing their teenage years.

I'm thinking the NFL Game Rewind "Follow Your Team" package for $35 is the way to go...

If you can never watch live and can stay away from results before you watch the archived game, that's definitely the way to go, and a pretty damn good deal.

Call up threaten to cancel and get it for free like most of us did.

And keep calling until you're able to get the best deal if they won't give it for free.

My contract is up and my package, which started at $75 a month is now $115 a month. I'm not going to renew, so while this tactic would likely get me NFL ST for free, it would also likely require me to sign a new 2-year deal.

We just don't watch enough TV to justify the bill anymore. With the internet connection I have, we'd just as soon use Netflix, Crackle, etc. and get our programming via a medium we can actually justify paying for.

If the $35 NFL Rewind package will work for me, I can pay for it AND pocket $80 in the first month ALONE.

I've read that the games are generally available for viewing immediately after the Sunday night game, is that true? I can usually avoid results until at least Monday night...

That's what I'm going to do this year. I'll probably opt for the full 22 view package. I'm never home Sunday afternoons anyway and usually watch later on.

I'm digging that they provide the condensed view as well. I like being able to watch the whole game in 1 hour if I need to...

Anybody who had this last year through the ps3, was it worth it? Was it choppy? Did it buffer a lot? Interested if I get good feedback, hate going to bar every Sunday.

You can probably read back thought this thread, but ill give you my take.

Week 1 was a national disaster. Outages reported all accross the country. It was choppy and slow and flat out sucked. Sony had to issue refunds.

After that it worked like a champ. Clear and smooth. I think it might have ran choppy or dropped out once in 17 weeks after that horrible first week.

Week 1 was a disaster for everyone, including those with dishes.
