If you don’t have DirecTV and you don’t live in the same market as your favorite football team, then it is difficult to watch that team unless you go to a sports bar or have a friend that has the NFL Sunday Ticket. However, the NFL Sunday Ticket is now available through the PS3 and is available for download now.

Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) today announced that DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket is now available for download through PlayStation®Network. The application, which hosts every out-of-market football game every Sunday in high-definition, is available to PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system owners without access to DIRECTV for $299.95 ($40 in savings from 2011). Current DIRECTV subscribers with the NFL Sunday Ticket MAX plan can download the application on PS3 free of charge.

It’s still not cheap, but if you absolutely need to catch your favorite team in the comfort of your own home and don’t have DirecTV, then at least you have this option.

While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
