Are there any free regions this year? Where would I find out?

Can't see it happening to be honest. I'd say the NFL is well aware of people exploiting free regions last year and is keen to avoid that loophole.

I know ya doubt it too... but there was somewhere last year u could see small print as to where they were free. Its just that page I was looking for to keep an eye on on the off chance.

yes, the free region thing didn't work by the time of the playoffs. there was a login going around but it seemed to be just some guy's account.

there appears to be no limit on IPs accessing an account so a group of us mates are chipping in for one account! can't see the reason for all us boardies getting our own accounts...

No, had gamepass before but not buying it with blackouts, wil use sky

Is that a new thing? I last subscribe the season before last and I couldn't log in on 2 devices at the same time.

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

You can only login from 1 IP at a time, had a laptop hooked up to the TV and if I tried to watch another game on the tablet the laptop got logged out.

To be honest I'm more than happy to pay the amount, but I'd need some way of getting around the blackouts.

Yeah I'm the same. I don't mind paying as I think it's a fantastic service and the price isn't too drastic when it's spread out. I have to use HOLA to watch the playoffs and other games that are on sky though which isn't that much of a hindrance, just a matter of turning on a plugin.

What country do you have GamePass set to to get rid of the blackouts?

Any country other than UK or Ireland.

So Spain, France, Germany etc are all fine.

Are you doing the same thing as last year? It was unreal!

Yeah you can't share a log in. What I tend to do is give the details to my mates but tell that during game time they're to stay off line because otherwise the main user gets kicked out. It works out well though for catching up on games during the week. Great service and anyone sitting on the fence should just get it. It's not too dear when you see the service offered and I really couldn't imagine watching the NFL any other way now

2 devices but maybe limit to the one IP address so mates couldn't share and do the poor NFL out of a subscription would be the clincher for me.

I'd love watch a game on the big screen and have red zone on my computer. I know you can so split screen but there's too much wasted space on the screen.

MLB.tv allows multiple devices and it's great.

will be watching from abroad, failing that ill buy the service :pac:

MLB.tv is a far superior product. No comparison.

Would it be best to buy this now or will the price come down a bit closer to the season?

The price decreases are pretty tame. I think I’ll bite the bullet now and have enough there to keep me going through pre-season.

It’s a stellar offering, it really is.

Works superbly and as said already across multiple devices. I have it on my computer, the phone but mainly through the xbox linked to the TV

I wish Gamepass worked this well

BKWDR

Think il get it this year. It's worth it instead of looking to find a crappy stream of a Sunday ...

I know where to put my Garth Brooks refund money towards... *ducks*

It's currently 119.99 for the Season. Last November 3rd, I paid 64.99 for the Season. That's almost half price, but I had missed half the season, so swings and roundabouts. Considering how much I fecking love RedZone, I won't be waiting that long this season.

Is there such a thing as an auto renew or do we have to sign up again?

They should email you to confirm the auto renew

Nice! The other shows might actually be what seals the deal with buying this year...

Do they have hard knocks on it now? My mate can't see it on his gamepass

I know he probably did but did he update the app? If not uninstall and reinstall from app store.

Yeah think that may have been the problem.

Do people think we should have a referral thread? I am not sure how much you get off for signing up to gamepass but anything helps. This will be my first year and I am going to use one of my mates referrals if he can find it. Think it is in your subscription email.

Actually probably not that many of us are going to get it so don't need a referral thread. Can just put the links up here

No it wasn't there last night but then the nfl total access was incomplete as was the gameday final they have. I'd say it Willkie be up there but it seems like it might take a bit of time.

i thought hard knocks was HBO, has nothing to do with the NFL
