    DIRECTV and PlayStation Bring NFL Sunday Ticket to PS3

    Anyone know how this works, or is going to try it? Basically, someone who doesn't have the Ticket can pay $340 to watch the Ticket on their PS3. Is it worth it? But paying someone $50 who already has the Ticket and would be able to watch it on behalf of their account, would be more than worth the $50. Hell, I'd pay $100 for that.

    I hated DirecTV when I had it, but would pay to stream through my PS3.

    Directv is the worst run company in the world

    They have there customers by the balls. They have the ticket and no one else does. CS is horrible. Everything about the company is horrible other than the ticket

    It'd be better if you could buy it $20 per week. Depends on the local games your getting if it's worth it every week.

    It looks like they will allow anyone with a PS3 access to it. Will be interesting to see if cable providers cut internet speeds on Sundays.

    you can't do this. you can already stream mlb games thru the ps3 but only the household IP of the computer that purchased it can access it

    Besides that. I'm sure you can't watch from 2 different places at once.

    Damn. I was hoping it was like the Ticket-To-Go. Generally speaking, what the hell's the point of spending $50 in order to watch NFL games on your PS3 if you already have the Ticket?
