Watch your Panthers on PS3!!

Playstation and DirecTV/NFL worked out a deal where you can now purchase NFL Sunday Ticket for the Playstation 3 and will be able to stream live games every Sunday.

This is big news for out of market fans that have wanted to follow the Panthers but were unable to get DirectTV and own a PS3.

Current Season Prices:

$340 for non-subscribers

$50 for current NFL Sunday ticket subscribers

The $340 is a little pricey for non-subscribers if you ask me, but I am more than willing to latch on to a friend's DirecTV account and shell out $50 for every NFL game...

they won't sell half of whatever they are targeting at that price. They are hoping to get some people to make the switch.

no thanks satellite

Make it 199 and I will go buy a PS3 today

Of note the ps3 is dropping in price by 50.00 if it hasn't already done so. rumor on the way to fact

Here's some clarification... Even if you dint have/can't get DirecTV u can get the ticket through your PS3... The OP wasn't very clear. Here is the entire article compliments of Gizmodo...

Xbox 360 users might have their fancy ESPN but the only sport most people care about is football. Sony just announced that PS3 users can sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket (a DirecTV exclusive) even if they don't have DirecTV. That means you can watch every NFL game straight from your PS3.

Here's how it works: If you're a PS3 owner but a non-DirecTV subscriber you can pay $340 for the entire Sunday Ticket package which includes every game in HD and the Red Zone channel. Before you scream expensive, that's about how much DirecTV customers pay for the Sunday Ticket package right now. If you're a PS3 owner and a DirecTV subscriber (who already subscribes to NFL Sunday Ticket) then it's an additional 50 bucks to use the PS3 as an additional receiver in your home (a little unnecessary if you ask me).

Basically, if you're a football fan who doesn't have DirecTV, this is what you've been waiting for. [sony]

Smart deal by DirectTv and PS3.

Might make some change over from Xbox.

Might make some change over from TWC to DirectTv.

Luckily I live in NC, and have a PS3 already.

But if I lived outside of NC, and didn't have ps3, I would make the switch, and if I had a PS3 I might would do this deal.

I have MLB.TV on my PS3, but it was only 140$.

Guess I need to put the definition of "non-subscriber" in the OP?

    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
