I was reading their Digital Care site and it looks like there is only going to be the Season Plus package this year.

But it does say "All Season and FYT subscribers will be upgraded to Season Plus for the rate paid for Season or FYT, respectively".

So those who paid for Season Plus last year will be paying more than those who paid for just the other 2 options. Or am I missing something?

Question for all Game Pass users.

Looking at a new telly and want to be able to chromecast GamePass to it. Looking at a 50/52 inch telly , at what size does it start looking a bit crap? pixelated etc

Any experience on what size telly you have and what works best please?

What will effect the picture quality more is your internet speed. Sometimes on my 42 (ish, I think, might be more) it's pixelated, simply because my net is slow. 99.9% of the time casting it is crystal clear.

Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless

Not sure about chrome cast but directly from the laptop wired to the TV it looks perfect, doesn't get pixelated at all as long as your broadband is up to the task.

This is on a 42/43 inch screen but I'm sure it would be fine on a larger screen also.

I use chromecast on a 40", and as said, when the internet connection is good, it's the same as watching full HD normal sky channel!
For those of us that pay full price not dealing with vpn's...that weak sterling is looking great as it comes time to renew!!

I would echo what the 3 others have said. Your internet connection is more important to quality of picture than screen size. I have a 48 inch tv and it's honestly like looking at a linear tv channel. The only problem I have in regards to it pixelating is when my internet is a bit sluggish

Guffy

Pay in sterling today... €160

I'm the same in so far as my subscription is up on July 31st. Do you have auto renew on ? If you do then it will just automatically renew on the 1st of August. I've gotten an email about it the past few years telling me the price and when the auto renew will kick in.

Itssoeasy

Just had a look at the gamepass emails I've gotten in the past and from 2014 to 2015 it jumped €35 to €179.99. I'd forgotten that actually. Also the emails the last two years arrived on the 3rd of July. its strange that I haven't got one yet.

Just found it, up top where you see 2016 pricing click that and then click the button saying subscribe and it brings you through to pay.

I hate seeing that PROMO CODE box , there must be a promo for it... :mad::mad::mad:

Just got an email. My account is set to auto renew, so I'll be charged the same price as last year, $130 paid by Brazilian Real, for the season plus this year. Free upgrade basically......

Email I just got from nfl gamepass. The part in bold is interesting I have to say. That could be a deal breaker for some on here. The playoffs and superbowl without blackouts due to sky.

Seems they have cottoned on to this anomaly this year. If you wanna pay in Brazilian Real now it is more expensive than the Euro price. With GBP weakening there might be a bit of a saving to buy/pay for it in Sterling.

There's still blackouts according to the FAQs.

I thought I'd cancelled the auto-renew but I got the email today saying that mine will auto-renew for $130 on 5 August.

So at least I'm getting it at the cheaper price but it looks like I'll have to wait until then to subscribe as I get quoted the €180 when I go to subscribe manually.

Well yeah but not playoffs and Super Bowl and you can get the games through redone during the regular season.

Yeah, that's a positive alright.

So, what's the cheapest currency / price ? Mine wants to renew from last year in BRL for 199 USD !!

myate

Has anybody else that's already subscribed tried to update their account...to either cancel auto-renew or change the default currency that you paid in last year? Trying to change to Sterling, but it keeps reverting to Euro...ie: it wont update!

Untick auto renew, go to the homepage, change to Sterling and just subscribe. That's what I did and got charged 165 euro

I've decided to rewatch random games from last season. I'm watching the Ravens vs jags from week 10 and sweet Jesus the Ravens just gave away a facemask penalty with time running out. The jags win the game.

I love doing that, the condensed games are a great feature.

Maybe the wording was a bit confusing but I took it that if u were on the fence it might make you go ahead and get game pass
