Last year, pre-orders of Madden 25 thru Amazon came with Sunday Ticket mobile. Previously, you could get it on PS3. Anyone heard of alternate means of getting the package this year?

My assumption would be that you could still get it on the PS3, but I have DirecTV, so I don't really look into it elsewhere. If you do have DirecTV, you can watch it on your computer or tablet as well as your TV though. I did that when I was visiting my parents in another state, and the quality was passable.

I've no intention of getting Direct TV.

If any of you guys get a Genie DVR let me know what you think. I can upgrade for only $3/month because of my current contract for the first TV. $6/month for the second. At this point, my wife and I have always been a 1-TV house, but we bought and installed a second last week that right now is just with a DVD player for my daughter. I'd like to eventually get TV on it too though, and the Genie (no wires) seems like the easiest way.

Yeah, the Genie is a nice thing to have... as it shares the DVR space to other TV's that are connected. We upgraded to a Genie, we have three tv's... two of them now have the old HD DVR's, mine has the Genie. The only drawback is that if you are viewing something recorded that is accessed from another TV, when you fast forward thru the commercials, it's a little jittery. Not what you are used to if the DVR is connected to the TV you are viewing. But it's a minor detail.

I'm in the same boat. I used the Madden offer last year, which worked out wonderful. The quality wasn't great, but it was better then nothing. I've been searching every few days to see if there is any word if they are doing that promotion again and I haven't came across anything yet.
I currently have ATT and don't really want to switch to Direct TV as its to expensive (maybe not the first year, but the 2nd year is, plus I believe you only get the ticket free for the first year).
I wish they offered the option of just buying the sunday ticket on your tablet/phone without having to get the TV service. -
Also, for the people that have Direct Tv, what do you do about internet?
That seems to be where this gets pricey. With ATT and Comcast you can bundle everything to get a decent price, but if you just go with internet through ATT or Comcast your looking at $40-$50 a month just for internet.
I pay $100 a month for internet and TV through ATT - Comes with pretty much every channel I want + Showtime. Only thing I don't get is HBO. I have 2 HD/DVR boxes -

We have a local telephone co. here, and they have a monopoly on internet unless we got satcab. Did not look like a good deal from what I have discerned from those in my former church who had it. So, we are staying with Directv and hoping that we can find a real swinging deal for NFL ticket. My wife loves the 'Phins as much as I do, BUT - she hates paying $300+ for it at top rate. We shall see. We have 3 TVs and 2 DVRs and a genie now. I have about 72 hours of programming to try to catch up with - including 2001:A Space Odyssey, the bulk of The Universe, World at War, Catholicism, and as many Star Treks as I can squeeze onto it (or at least the one's worth watching) and a number of John Wayne films (including Ford's Calvary trilogy!) and the absolutely magnificent 'A Man for All Seasons!'

I just cancelled Sunday Ticket. They were throwing me lame promotions. $40 off, $80 off. They called my bluff...however, they fail to realize my team stinks right now, and my interest has gone way down.

Did I also have to think hard on my 4 season tickets that I've had for 13 seasons! Yes I did. Maybe it's that I have 6, 3, and 1 year old kids. Maybe work has be busy and stressed. Maybe it's because we have sucked for the better part of a decade and a half. But the fact is, I'm a Miami Dolphins fan since my early childhood...but for some reason, I just do not care as much about football and the small fortune I spend on it right now. -

This was my second call. The first guy gave me the regular prices and I said what kind of specials are those? He said that's all they had. Lol
I've never paid full price for it. I got Max last year for half off but enough credits spread out my bill cover it.Paul 13 likes this. -

yeah... I'll probably get the $100 off too :lol:Sethdaddy8 likes this. -
The NFL needs to take this ST monopoly away from directv and offer it to all cable providers. I live in FL so it's no problem for me but I hate how you are so limited on what football games you get to watch.

But other than that, like everything else in life, I pay the posted price. Part of it is simply who I am, part of it was working Retail for 13 years - 10 as a manager - and having to deal with it on the other end every day. Just gets under my skin. No one is special, and no one, including me, deserves special pricing. Just my mindset. -

What's really funny is your defense of the big business. Kings of small print, misleading sales and tactics, and dishonesty.
Take my advertised price of $119 monthly for the total premiere package. Oh well yeah it's $119... But then there is the monthly $10 hd fee, $10 dvr fee, $3 whole house dvr fee, $6 local sports tax, god knows what on other gov't tax, $6 per receiver fee, including a $6 primary receiver fee?
Anyone have a calculator? Now times it by 12 months. Poor directv... How will they go on? So yeah, when they are jamming me with backdoor, hidden fees, damn right I will leverage whatever I can to save whatever and wherever I can.bigbry likes this. -
So if I am a great customer buying WWE ppvs, UFC ppvs, movie channels, and paying on time for almost a decade.....if I can call this billion dollar company and get a good price, so they can keep a great customer, it's good for business, and it's good for me. And I can watch the Dolphins give me hope and hang me with my own ***** by week 17.Paul 13, bigbry and Sethdaddy8 like this. -
I think at the high it was $350....I think. Would you pay $350 for it today? Needless to say Ive paid higher then $99 thru the years. But no way I was going to pay $350.
If it wasn't for the push back on the price it would of continued to rise.
You can thank the NFL fan base for at least getting it into reasonable territory. -
Here's some info.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...o-be-available-without-satellite-subscription
That $199.99 subscription would allow you to watch the Sunday Ticket apps on phones and computers. A $239.99 subscription would add access on gaming consoles. For $329.99, you could combine both services as well as get access to the Red Zone and the Fantasy Zone channels.
I went to the site and here's some more info.
