PS3 Direct TV Sunday Ticket question

figgy2989 : 8/20/2018 9:20 am

Long story short, I have been using my PS3 the last few years only using it for Blu-ray and streaming the NFL Sunday Ticket. I am not a gamer and only use it for these two functions.

The PS3 is old (probably 8 years or so) and is no longer working (turns on, but it is not connecting to the TV). My question to the BBI faithful is the PS3/PS4 the only way to stream the NFL ticket? Is it worth just purchasing a used PS3? I saw PS3 slims for about $100 used and I know this is probably a dumb question, but would the slim still have the blu-ray and NFL ticket app?

Any help/suggestions you guys can offer would be tremendous.

I use a Roku to stream it

But I have a directv login...

Not sure..

PS3 slim still does blu rays, but they removed the PS3 from the compatible device list here: https://nflsthelp.directv.com/hc/en-us/articles/205157345-Compatible-devices-with-the-NFL-SUNDAY-TICKET-app-and-NFLSUNDAYTICKET-TV

So not 100% sure whether it'll be updated for the 2018 season or not. You might have to get an Xbox One or PS4 if you want to be 100% safe.

Forgot to add...

If you don't care about blu rays, there's a lot of streaming only devices on that list you can switch to as well.

Thank you BigBlue89

I had been using the PS3 up until now, so unsure if that Direct TV support link is new. I will have to check on that.

The Blu-Ray is a big factor.

If I do go the PS4 route

Anyone know of any good deals out there? Or suggestions where to purchase?

Otherwise Craigslist or eBay but of course buyer beware.
