Announced last month, a partnership between Sony and DirecTV would be bring the much-desired NFL Sunday Night Ticket to the PlayStation 3 console. The programming, which is already available for DirecTV customers, would allow them to use the PlayStation 3 as a separate receiver, capable of playing the NFL programming for $50 per season. Those who have services other than DirecTV would also be able to purchase the programing and view the NFL Sunday Night Ticket via a PlayStation 3 app for $339.95. Some of the apps features include:

 

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.

 

NFL fans will be quick to note that the season is soon approaching, and, just in time, the PlayStation 3 app has gone live and is available to download for free. PlayStation 3 owners who have DirecTV will be able to access their account, while those with no DirecTV contract can instead pay $84.99 a month (4 months total) for the package. The current HD bandwidth/bitrate feed is 3mbps. The app itself can be found under the new PlayStation category “My Channel” section or under the Media section in the PlayStation Store. For those who have available funds in their PlayStation account wallet, fees can be paid for by any credit card linked to your account or any PlayStation Network gift card.
