Sunday Ticket on the PS3.

Now, if only it didn't cost as much as the dish price it would actually be worth it.

This would be a dream come true. Football is literally the only reason I subscribe to "cable", I could cut the cord forever. Still, the price is kind of insane.

Yeah it is. You're still streaming and if you don't have a stoutly consistent connection, you're going to notice fluctuations in quality.

Cut the price in half for the online sub and I'm in.

I can see it costing a LITTLE less than regular price but half as much?? LOL

This appears to just be the Sunday Ticket To Go service extended beyond mobile devices.

The price is outrageous.

They're selling preseason games for $5/week.

Half as much of the current price is still double that.

I think I might just drop cable then.

Between Netflix, Hulu Plus and this, I don't see a need for cable television anymore.

I might actually save money.

I already watch MLB.tv on my PS3.

Looks that way. Except they won't throw it in with Sunday Ticket to Go, instead you gotta pay ANOTHER 50 bucks.

PS3 got a price cut down to $249 and apparently sales are booming because of it.

GameStop sees a significant sales bump

Target confirmed an 'immediate lift' in sales

PS3 Sales on Amazon Jump 400% on Price Cut

I bet they will get some sells just because of NFL Sunday Ticket for PS3 now too.

That'd be pretty wasteful when you can just hook a computer up to your tv and use your computer.

True, but your computer has to be somewhat near your TV. That isn't always the case. I have a door way that separates my PC and my TV.

Sounds like a good reason to use power tools.

As if you ever actually need a reason!

That's a pretty cool feature...until they're hacked again in the middle of the year and are down for a month.

For those who may be confused. You can buy the NFL Ticket on your PS3 without being a DTV subscriber.

It's just a broadband streaming subscription.

One last thing. I figured out of you run a proxy, you increase your PS3 streaming/downloads x50.

Word!
