plenzmd1 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Good advice. Question: if you got just the $20 preseason package last year, will it auto-renew you for the $100 version this year??? hmm..i don't know that ...i would think if you did not get the email that you are in no worries about it auto renewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 emailed with folks from Bills yesterday, they are still waiting for codes from NFL. I guess worst case scenario is we sign up for the 7 day trial on Thursday. Â BTW, NFL charged my account even after i sent them mail to not renew.Check you CC statements for folks like me who paid for this last year. This happened to me as well.....but did the chat box thing......it still renewed. Â Im keeping it just because I tend to disect the hell out of play in my spare time.

Juice_32 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 To all of my fellow Bills fans in NC... Â If you want to watch all 4 preseason games live, but dont want to drop a c-note on the Game-Pass package, here is what you do. Â Game 1 will be on local TV throughout most of NC. Hold tight. Â Game 2 will be on ESPN. Hold tight. Â Game 3 is 8/29 at 4PM, STRIKE! Sign up for the 7 day free trial at 3:59PM. Â Game 4 is 9/3 at 7:30PM. Your 7 day free trial will still be good to go. Cancel at the end of the game on 9/3. Â BOOM, free NFL Preseason Live and you dont have to pay the $99 for Game-Pass. The all 22 is nice though...

truth on hold Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I read that what used to be called "NFL Game Rewind" is now called "NFL Game Pass".  There is also the international version of NFL Game Pass, which I've been using for the last 3 or 4 years. I'm assuming it'll be the same thing in the states and overseas.  I've absolutely loved the service, but it's really expensive for the international version. The first year was free. (So I could become addicted/dependent.) Last year they started charging for it. $99 to follow your one team during the pre and regular season $129 to watch every teams pre and regular season games $199 to watch every game including playoff and superbowl You can watch the games live or on-demand with the coaches film option. For me, it's a no-brainer getting it, since there is no other way to watch my beloved Bills. For you guys up in the States, I have no idea if it's smart to get, or not.  It sounds like $69 is incredibly cheap.  Let's go Buffalo!  Oh, here's a little blurb I just read about it... http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/20/nfl-game-pass-on-demand-access-apple-tv/ Pretty reasonable really. I guess that's to sooth the masses who can't afford to go to games now that corporate luxury boxes have driven up all prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
