Anyone interested that DIRECTV and PlayStation are bringing NFL Sunday Ticket to PS3?

Season price is $339.95(Holy Sh*t!). Existing DIRECTV customers who already have NFL SUNDAY TICKET and NFL SUNDAY TICKET To-Go through DIRECTV can access the service on their PS3 for no additional charge.

NFL SUNDAY TICKET is a DIRECTV-exclusive sports package that offers:

•Up to 14 NFL games every Sunday
•Full HD for every football game
•DIRECTV’s Red Zone Channel

I had this pointed out to me by a friend and was wondering if it was a good deal to the super fans out there. Directv doesn't work by me so this would be a good deal if I was a super fan, I'm not, but thought I'd share if anyone was. If people are paying that much money for Sunday Ticket already I guess it only makes sense to use the PSN to reach all those out of area or in bad reception.

It certainly provides another way to catch sports games without needing cable/satellite for those who have cut the cord. Certainly a steep sounding price to me, but still half of the typical cable bill for a year, not to mention whatever they add on top of that for the package.

great googly moogly! does this let you watch every single game? vs just whatever local teams are available for free on local channels?

@w00tgurl: Sunday Ticket lets you watch every game... but a lot of games are simultaneous. If you have a DVR you can record one and watch another.

Anyway, it's way to pricey for me, but I like to pick it up free when I can. We got it for free when we signed up, free when we moved the sat when I moved, and we got it free for this year because they screwed us royal and we threatened to move to dish network.

As for having it for PS3, that is kinda cool, but if you have your ps3 somewhere, you could probably also have dish. The only thing I see it being useful is if you are going to a friends house or something who doesn't have cable or whatever.

@trinnic: I thought you had to have some form of DirecTV programming to get the NFL Sunday ticket? If so, you're going to spend probably $700 a year for the programming plus the $340 for the Sunday ticket package. I'm not entirely sure, I have dish so i'm likely wrong

Uh...the PS3 is like XBOX and Wii, a way to play video games and more. Has nothing to do with reception. Anyone can play these systems anywhere with electricity.....

@captainsuperdawg : You do not need DirecTV service, just a PS3 that has an incoming internet connection.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
