The $50 is only if you are currently a subscriber to Direct TV so the PS3 can be used as a receiver for Direct TV itself.

If you are not a subscriber, you just pay the $340 for the football package.

Understood. Thanks.

I feel bad for those "already subscribed" folk.

Well, if they are already subscriber, there really is no point to having the PS3 one unless you want another receiver. Since you "already have the package".

At least that is how I gather it from the original post.

Kickoff the NFL Season on PS3 with the NFL SUNDAY TICKET App, Available Today on PlayStation Network

Quote:

We recently announced our partnership with DIRECTV to bring their most popular sports subscription service, NFL SUNDAY TICKET, directly to you via your PlayStation 3. Starting later today, you can access the direct link in the My Channels category under the TV/Video Services icon on the XMB (XrossMediaBar) or head over to the media category of the PlayStation Store to download the app in anticipation of the new 2011 NFL season. This Sunday, PS3 owners without access to DIRECTV will be able to live stream every out-of-market Sunday NFL game on their PS3 with a subscription to NFL SUNDAY TICKET. You’ll be able to enhance your NFL experience with live multi-game scoreboards and field position trackers, which also allow you to access highlights, stats, standings and schedules, as well as the Red Zone Channel, which gives you live coverage of Sunday’s most exciting moments. The subscription for the 2011 season can be purchased directly through the app for $339.95. Existing subscribers can use the PS3 as an additional receiver in their home, as part of their NFL SUNDAY TICKET To-Go package, which is purchased through DIRECTV.

Well, minus the first reason in this post, it would make sense for me.

If you look at that video you can see that they do offer a monthly payment plan of 84.99 a month for 4 months. Still seems a bit steep but atleast its better then paying the entire 339.95 in one payment.

Check the 0:42 mark and you'll see it.

The payment plan has sold me.
