Madden "Anniversary Edition" to include Sunday Ticket

[iRoccafella]

I do believe EA has finally found a way to get me to spend money on Madden for the first time in almost 10 years.

I hope this includes the PS3 variant. If it does it's over. Even if it doesn't, the iPad will get some legit use on Sundays.

[Uuaww]

I want.

I received an email about this saying it was an Amazon exclusive:

Exclusive to Amazon.com, the Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition delivers the ultimate NFL experience, including:

Exclusive Offers for DIRECTV and NFL SUNDAY TICKET - Each Anniversary Edition includes a special code, giving you the opportunity to unlock a special 2013 regular season (17 weeks) trial of NFL SUNDAY TICKET on computer, tablet, and mobile devices, plus a DIRECTV promo code for $10 off per month for your first year of service.


So...it's not available through DirecTV for your actual TV? Or is this just the Amazon version?

I'm also a little cautious about the fact it states you can have an opportunity to unlock a special for SUNDAY TICKET.

keyword, opportunity. like a scratch off lotto ticket??

or u can unlock the 17week trial if ur a new dtv customer, not a current customer?

This article explains it too...
And says:
If you don’t have DirecTV, you have two options: Sign up for DirecTV and get $10 off your monthly bill for a year plus Sunday Ticket for free on your mobile devices,
or
access the Sunday Ticket content for free through your computer, tablet or smartphone.

And I was thinking exactly that Corey.

So you buy it, use the code, return it to GameStop and get $35 for it.
So you paid $65 for Sunday ticket mobile, which DirecTV will not allow you to get normally without DirecTV service.


Normally, you have to pay like $300 to watch it through the PS3 only.

They haven't placed any parameters or restrictions on trading/selling it and losing your Sunday ticket access??

Which nfl fan would not do that???? Freakin genius

[shel311]

Ah damn, so it won't be $60?

I'll stick with the Red zone channel, I think.

The game itself is $100

If you go niddlers way and trade it in and can still access, it's $65ish

[ChampDizzle]

my sis just preordered this from amazon. She is giving the game to me and my dad the code for Sunday ticket. I am cool with redzone but he doesn't have nfl network. He is a Vikings fan so he will get to watch every game.

No need to get this now if that Red Zone channel in HD comes through this season...I hope.

I'm just hoping we can still gameshare split 4 ways. Even 2 ways would be a huge discount, but I'm dreaming big and going for 4!!!

it won't be gameshared. you only get the direct tv if you buy the amazon $100 edition. we've said this before. It's literally a coupon that comes in the game case.

My bad, i was speaking in general with the PS4 gameshare, not about Madden.

Trying to make a quick post, I left some important things out lol.

You also missed the fact that this is Madden that comes out in a couple weeks, August 27th.
This has nothing to do with the PS4.
