    Im waiting. 102 is great tho can't see it getting much better than that.

    Last year was a disaster pre season as all the Americans were using the same servers for free and games were hard to watch due to over usage.
    Tbh think 102 is the deal for this year

    Really? Dang. I couldn't get that, even using Hola. Ah well. Sorry, didn't mean to misinform. :)

    Heli was referring to the subscription that brings you to January not the season plus

    season plus works out at €158 going through Brazil currency. The regular season is as per Helis price, but no need to go through Greece and pay in Brazil, you can just go straight to Brazil and pay for it in Real.

    As an aside, going through Britain costs €183, so that is more expensive as a currency converter. Australia works out at €168. Same for South Korea. Brazil seems to be the best right now. But surely get more than €20 discount than whats on offer now. Its only an 11% discount doing it that way.

    I'm a little curious as to how people are paying for the Brasillian currency option...

    Are people quoting what's actually been charged to their credit card or what they are converting themselves (Rate sourced online) ?

    Yeah, it's what AIB charged me on the Visa debit. Almost the same as XE currency converter.

    Happy out, €100 for the regular season and pre-season!

    My cable company doesn’t have any special packages to see all the NFL games, although they do for the NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS. Didn’t need one in the past as they carried a CBS station our of New York City and I usually always got to see the NY Jets play. But this year they dropped the CBS channel out of NY and went with one in Philadelphia. Won’t get to see my Jets much this year, but plenty of other games are shown. Not really interested in Gamepass. Looks now like I’ll be heading out to the sports bars on a regular basis Sunday afternoons to catch the Jets. Alcohol, pool, darts, pretty girls in skin tight tank top team shirts, and football. Can’t beat that!

    seeing all the posts on hardknocks has made me take the plunge. Greece and then pay in Brazilian Real for €103ish. Will see if they do a post season upgrade later on then.

    Is the latest season of Hard Knocks on there then? I assumed first run was just on HBO and then Game Pass gets it later on.

    yeah, only noticed once I logged in! :mad: I thought last year it came onto gamepass within a day or so of being on HBO. I watched all of last season on gamepass anyway, and they do have the 2015 season listed in the gamepass NFL Network section, but no episodes with it yet.

    Is it safe to enter card details while connected though Hola? Wouldn't have much faith in some of the free VPN's.

    that was for the season plus? seems that way alright, that there was no big difference there. I just went for the season proper, and worry about the playoffs nearer the time. upgrade or whatever.

    Hard knocks was up on gamepass at the end of last week too.

    Yeah I just VPNed through Brazil and paid for the season subscription. It cost 394.99 riel which AIB is saying is 102.05, only 45 cent difference from what XE says. That's a pretty good deal.

    no, not that much, about €30 on the season only option. You click on the currency in the top right corner of the gamepass home page.
