DirecTV drops price of Sunday Ticket under $200

Maybe one day it will happen so for now I'll keep it a secret

I'll start guessing: You proposed an ESPN channel that you can buy that only plays your favorite teams' games. You were rejected, because it never would've passed what with the other networks protests.

It's $200 now


Yeah Matty, I know is $200 now. What I was saying is their product has dimmished with one less game on every Sunday with a Thursday night game EVERY week starting this year. Something had to give. You now will have a Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night national game EVERY week.

Sunday Ticket use to get you a maximum of 14 games each Sunday, now its only 13 in non-bye weeks. They have lost a game, so they can't keep charging the same $300+ price. In Bye weeks you are down to only 10 or 11 games some weeks. Sunday ticket subscribers were paying around $20+ a week last year, now it s amore reasonable $11-$12 a week.

Yeah the total # of games is down slightly, but I think more than anything the total # of subscribers have been on the serious down swing for the last couple years, forcing this price drop.

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 look at it this way with the new pricing: I am preordering a la carte Skins games for $12.50 a game - and then getting all of the other games for free! I can definitely live with this deal.

Why pay for something horribly overpriced when you can steal it for free? :cool-smil
