Spain Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I was considering getting NFL Gamepass this year. I've installed Plex Media Player on my Smart TV which is capable of playing it in full HD glory on the big screen. I think I'm just going to go with the basic package (pre-season & regular season Texans games only). I've got Sky Sports anyway (I normally just watch Redzone) but was interested to know what everyone else's thoughts on Gamepass was. Am I making a mistake only going for the basic package? Also I have it in my head somewhere that there's deals at some point for Gamepass, but I suspect I may have missed it already. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 GP is awesome, that's all you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 GP is awesome, that's all you need to know. Much as I love RedZone, I'm quite excited about getting it this year. Texan's games seldom get full game coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJM77 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Was just looking at the prices there, is £85 not a tad pricey when you could probably stream most of the games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 I did think about that too. But for simplicity and streaming to HD on the big bad boy... I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macbeast Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I've had the full package for 3 years and I couldn't possibly imagine life without it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm seriously contemplating ditching sky for game pass, do you get Redzone on Gamepass? Is it only the games on sky that are blacked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 GP is awesome, that's all you need to know. Yes, this. ETA: especially as I ditched Sky a couple of months ago, GP is now essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee4Life1893 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm seriously contemplating ditching sky for game pass, do you get Redzone on Gamepass? Is it only the games on sky that are blacked out? Yes, you get RedZone. It's fantastic when it works. I had a few issues last year but that was mostly due to my horrendous internet connection. Edit: Anyone know if you get a GamePass app for the PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Daytona Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yes, you get RedZone. It's fantastic when it works.

Working on getting the GamePass for PS4 but no news as of yet, the adverts also brag with XboxOne app. Is the PlexMediaPlayer app available on just certain smart TVs, I've got a Samsung Smart TV and just purchased the pass without playoffs.

Spain Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Not sure, but it's pre-installed on Samsung (that's what I've got). Just need to set up a Plex account and add the NFL Network to it. I found it dead easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macbeast Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I watch it through my iPad and Apple TV on the big screen in the living room in full HD it's awesome and the American commentary and punditry is so much better than the UK coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macbeast Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 But surely the opportunity to watch JJ up close is worth it. We got a glimpse of him last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marnie Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 For the guys who have Game Pass; what package have you got? We've just cancelled Sky Sports so I'll be getting GP this season, is it worth the extra cash for the Season Plus package given that you don't get any Playoff games?
