    Yeah, being 1 minute behind doesn't bother me either. I'm generally too engrossed in the games (especially 6pm and 9pm on a sunday when there's multiple games going on) to be on forums and the like. This is my 3rd season to have it and I love it; in the past when the Sky games were blowouts I used to wish I could watch one of the other games instead. Now I hop between the games at will if a game isn't grabbing my attention. It has become my own personal Redzone really.

    Yes, buying gamepass for the first time regardless
    signed up for 3 day trial of VyprVPN, logged into NFL.com through Argentina and got the Season pass for €120.

    haven't decided what to do about playoffs but I'll figure that out in December...

    No problem paying full amount, and have just signed up. If I get any discount code from it, I'll pass it on. Working from home, I certainly get use out of it!! And now with half decent wifi & chromecast, it rivals Channel 4 tv quality. Speaking of which, they won't be showing any this year and I dont have Sky Sports, nor do I want it as can't stand the UK guys presenting it.

    I can't for the life of me get that price. Annoying because I am saving bad at the moment for holiday money and am struggling to justify the cost of this.

    Hola wouldn't work for me. But one of the guys said he signed up to VYPER VPN for a three day trial. You do have to put in your credit card details so make sure if you do this that you cancel it. Then when you get that installed you should be able to select Greece as your country. Then prob best to clear your browsing history and cookies and stuff and then go to the gamepass website and to where you would buy the subscription. In the top right there will be currency, change that to Brazilian Real.

    I would sign up for the free trial for a week though and then cancel it before it takes the payment out and hopefully there will be a discount code too.

    VyprVPN - google it.

    then use a different browser from the one you normally use just to be sure there are no cookies set.

    Looking to sign up again this year. If I sign up through a VPN do I then not have to login through that VPN every time I want to use Game Pass ?

    Got a trial VPN for the purposes of signing up. I tried a few options....Argentina, Netherlands, Spain. €119.99 seems to be about the cheapest for the Season package (not plus), so went ahead with that. Not too bad I suppose (€144.99 for the same package in Ireland).

    Turned off the VPN and logged in from Ireland, works ok.

    Guys , the email i am getting is saying €119.00 will be billed on Aug 7th. Does anyone know what package it is. If its the standard regular season package like i had last year, i am ok with it (Paid on a Portugeese proxy last year) If its the follow your team package which seems to match that price i am not.


    Ya so mine was €119.00, for the standard season package. Pleased with that , tend to find other means for watching playoff anyway.

    Even if you don't use a VPN, just choosing to pay in Brazilan Real will give you the cheapest price (E160 for season plus). I saw no difference before and after changing to Greece in Hola.

    Most of the preseason games are on at very bad times for this part of the world.
    I'm going to hold out for a discount code..I'd expect it to appear towards the end of pre season. (Based on last year)
