Huh, so that's what 400 million dollars buys.

We knew about this the day the NFL deals were announced, yet they announced nothing for Xbox One.

Bummer.
Guess I'll just have to watch it on my laptop. Madden 25 is a must buy this year only because of Sunday Ticket.

Yup.
Why does the NFL do these exclusive deals all the time anyway? It's not like this is big bucks to them. NFL owners probably spend $400 mil cleaning the stadium toilets each season.
Wishful thinking but Sony did mention something about media apps at e3.

NFL harps about protecting their brand all the time. So they rather have an air of prestige by making their deals exclusive. Pretty old school business practice. NFL rakes in tons of cash from their TV contracts, so they can be picky.
Man, I don't care about football but seeing NFL's obsession with this sort of anti-consumer exclusivity bullshit makes me really hope the sport eventually plummets out of favor.
... Though the fact it sounds like one of the most dangerous sports to one's long term health may make that something objectively for the best anyway.

I'm not even sure if media boxes will carry it. The NFL deal described at the reveal was not the NFL Sunday Ticket.
The NFL deal was a mix of putting tech like surfaces in the hands of coach. The Xbox portion of the deal involves NFL.com Fantasy overlays.

The first mistake is assuming Playstation owners care about handegg
Sucks for those that do.

The NFL deal includes 360 I think.

Considering the nfl made 9.5 billion in 2012, that's 4.2% of league wide profits from a single deal with Microsoft, that is big money.
The NFL Sunday Ticket has never been on 360 and still hasn't been announced for the 360.

The deal you are referring to is only for Direct TV customers or someone using a computer, tablet or phone app. They stated it would never had worked on the PS3 as an app or through the browser.

Eh. Guess you're right. Not that I subbed to ST anyway. I just watch the network games.

Not hard to connect your computer to a tv, or air play your ipad. The deal hopefully will work great this season

While I think this sucks, especially for those outside of the viewing area of their favorite teams, fortunately this does not really affect me. I have the good fortune of living in the viewing area of the Ravens (my NFL team). In addition, if I did decide to get NFL Sunday Ticket (it would be for my dad, a lifelong Jets fan), it just so happens that my PS3 and PC are both connected to the same TV (a 32" HDTV), so the experience would be exactly the same. It's just too expensive. My dad feels he gets to see the Jets enough to not justify getting NFL Sunday Ticket. Up until this upcoming season, we did have Redzone, but due to cutting some cable channels, we lost it. I may consider getting the Madden Collectors edition, but I have a feeling DirecTV may auto renew Sunday Ticket for the full price following the season, so I'm a little wary about that.
Me too. Anyone know how the quality is on pc's?
They do, but Sunday ticket is already exclusively licensed... To direct tv. Directv in turn offers it on a number of devices with a plan for non-dtv subscribers
I don't know why they aren't doing ps3 this year but it is probably a dtv thing, not nfl

If its like preseason live it should be decent to good, not super high quality, seems to be a max of 720p, though the in browser player is terrible.
Edit: corrected silly ipad autocorrect

I used it on PS3 but it sucked. Would always have to buffer.
Hopefully Xbox gets it. I hate that it's mostly exclusive to Direct TV.

Sucks but it's probably better off on better HW. It's not surprising given the TVTVTV deal MSFT brokered with the NFL.

PS3 owners still don't have HBO GO!?
There's an in player browser? Does it use HTML5? If it does, people can get it to work on the Wii U browser.

Whoa now buddy, watch with the O word. Some of us enjoy watching other people destroy themselves for our entertainment.

I have both current gen consoles so not a big deal and I guess I could watch on my iPad and PC too but prefer to watch on TV. Will rage if its not on PS4 and Game of Thrones is on...

Hahaha, hell no. Browser is awful, just plug your pc into the tv and bam!
BTW, the madden deal wouldn't have let you watch on the PS3 anyways.

Im hoping you can. I've emailed the nfl, and they clearly didn't know what i was talking about. I guess we'll just have to see.

wonder if the ps4 browser will be able to get around these exclusivity deals
Haha, that's part of why I said objective since the danger level can be clear cut whereas entertainment inevitably varies between everyone.
I do find that far worse and more infuriating. Games are programs that can be tailored to a system's specific capabilities and to a lesser degree the policies one may have that the others don't. Movies and music... that doesn't really apply there, just files that you slot into any program that can play them and it's fine anywhere so long as the hardware can run it. It's like making games exclusive to specific colored consoles rather than just that console entirely, there's no good reason Halo can run on a Black 360 but not a White 360.
