Thanks to a new partnership agreement between Sony and DirectTV, the famed NFL Sunday Ticket package that football fans have enjoyed for years on the satellite television service will soon be available to PlayStation fans everywhere. PlayStation 3 owners all across the United States will be able to watch every single out-of-market Sunday NFL game played this coming season right on their console. The service of course, comes with a price.

Those users who already subscribe to to the Sunday Ticket service via their DirectTV subscription and have the Sunday Ticket To-Go service enabled will be able to access the programming on the system at no additional cost. Without the To-Go service enabled, it will cost you an additional $50.00. If you don’t have a membership to DirectTV or the Sunday Ticket service in general, you can subscribe directly through your PlayStation 3 for $339.95.

The service will deliver up to 14 HD NFL games directly into your living room each and every Sunday of the upcoming NFL season. While non-fans may scoff at the price tag, true NFL fans know just that this is a great deal for following your favorite out of market team considering the cost of other options such as frequenting local sport(s) bars.
