DirecTV drops price of Sunday Ticket under $200

With out looking... my guess is $199. lol.

I love companies that tout their below a specific price then when you go check it's like $1 dollar below. WTF? With tax it will be over.

Hopefully you didn't just catch on to this.

Finding streamed games of good quality was tougher last year than the year before. The internet police appear to have raised their game.

You know who was really instrumental in getting NFL games on devices like the PS3?...Dan Snyder

You obviously did a good job!

You have read me argue that some folks streamed because the price of Sunday Ticket was back-breakingly high for them and they would quit streaming and go legit if things became more affordable. Note that I was not condoning piracy with this argument, just explaining it. Therefore I think this announcement by Directv is a major step in the right direction. For people like me who want to do things the legal way, $200 is much more feasible. It'd still be cool to see an a la carte plan but this plan works, too.

BTW Although it is possible that I have joined Fox streams, I have never pirated from ESPN. :)

Why they have not tapped into to that still makes me wonder. I mean I could see them getting easily $25 a game off people.

I have been out of market for over 20 years now. I have had Sunday ticket since its inception and rarely miss a game. The Red Zone and mix are awesome when the Skins are not playing. A little happier that my price is now less after all of these years.

Boooo! So you're the reason I couldn't find a decent stream when I was in NC during a football weekend last year! :D

Seriously though I know how hard it was to find a stream last year, so kudos to you for doing your job effectively. With the Ticket at 200 this year now, I doubt I'll have a problem when I'm out of town, seeing as how I'm sure my friends would easily pay 200 over 350.

Well, truth be told. Other than Monday Night games NFL wasn't a major point of focus

Also, my own recommendation to upper management was a bit controversial...and would have flipped the industry on its head (or something like that)

Furthermore, a la carte plans are not as cheap as one may think

Care to share?

Also I would think a la carte plans wouldn't be as cheap as we think, mainly because it would cost a cable company more to carry an entire channel devoted to one team, plus when you think along the lines of "buy in bulk = save" the a la carte mode wouldn't seem as attractive as once thought.

How are you going to leave us hanging with that? Tell us the scoop SS!!
