Cant find it on the Australian store. but there is a NFL App on the American store. will gamepass work with that?
Not sure. It may have the GamePass domestic (US) product in that build. Will see what the story is.....it may just take 24 hours for Sony to deploy the international app to other stores.

Hey guys, im new to the gamepass stuff. Been thinking the last few weeks i might aswell fork out the cash and get it. Was looking at the site before and it says how you can watch on your phone and tablet and xbox or apple tv. Im not a mad technology freak so dont think i got an apple tv since i dont do anything itunes or anything like that. I have a smart tv and a ps4 which is being spoke about now. Am i going to be able to plug a hdmi cable or something from phone to tv and watch games on tv or load it through the net onto the tv at all with the gamepass? Sorry if this stupid

You can connect your phone/tablet into the TV and watch it on the TV (hdmi)
Or just watch on your phone/tablet -- by downloading the app from the Google Play store or iTunes store.
Or you can watch on your pc/laptop by going to the NFL.com site and navigating to the Gamepass console.
Or you can connect your pc/laptop into the TV and watch it on the TV (hdmi)
Or you can open the PS4/XBOX app in the gaming console and watch it direct thru the TV.
Or you can "stream" it from your phone/tablet/pc/laptop thru the TV via Googlechrome or Apple TV.

Sweet so if i buy the gamepass tonight all i do is login or whatever you have to do on my phone and then hdmi it to the tv and It'l play.
Then once i have purchased it i can go into the gamepass app through the ps4 and watch it like that?

One last question. Most of the games il be watching is at night or after work and i dont look or hear the scores till then. Can i login and go into whichever game without it showing me the scores if its already been played?

The first time you log in, the default setting is SHOW SCORES ON. You have to then flick that to OFF and it'll remember that it's OFF the next time you use it. But you will know the scores of games when you're watching a replay of a game anyway, as the live broadcast version always have a tickertape of scores around the ground.
Also, if you're using your PC and you have to get to the gamepass console via navigating the nfl.com website then you'll see all the scores and stories/pics when you first land on nfl.com. So it's advisable that when you navigate to the console page (where it actually loads up in your browser), that you bookmark THAT page, so next time you want to use it on your PC browser, you just go direct to the console rather than navigate thru again.

I don't know how anyone who loves the NFL can get by without it, it is a brilliant service and reasonably priced for what you get despite the price hike/$AU exchange rate difference to last year. The only problem I have is finding time to watch all the games I want to see.

Just a quick question, is Gamepass now available on the PS4 in Australia? I haven't checked. If it is, then it would be difficult for me to not sign up.
I'm waiting on a response from Sony. It's been released in the US and Latin America so far. Still waiting on confirmation for Aus, Asia and Europe.

I've had it since about week 2 of the preseason, but just curious, halfway through the season, did any of those promo or discount codes ever come out?
I didn't bother waiting because I didn't think they would but would be interested for hindsight.

Since I auto renew I prefer not to know that loyalty doesn't mean a thing!

That is true for full-season subscriptions, but a decision was made to drop pricing mid-season for those who hadn't subscribed yet as half the season was essentially gone. The NFL runs a very tight ship in terms of pricing across the board these days, even for those of us who work here.

The "promo code" concept was generally applied when a product is struggling to meet its sales targets (as GamePass has in the past). All GamePass products exceeded sales targets this year so marketing didn't feel the need to offer it at a discount. I might also add that NFL Digital Media has undergone a huge transformation in the past 18 months with almost a completely new executive management team and a lot of newer faces at the level below (including myself), so we're not destined to recreate what we did the in past.

In terms of loyalty pricing, I know we did apply a loyalty bonus for the US domestic market this season to auto-renew customers as we made huge changes to what is offered in this market. I would like to think that we'll take a similar approach to International markets next season and will be in the ear of our marketing folks as often as possible about that. I'm also working to try and improve how we deal with currency fluctuations as well so there isn't dramatic variance between seasons due to a strong US dollar.

The concept of pricing is always a delicate one and while everyone would obviously like stuff cheaper, it's a matter of supply vs demand most of the time. We employed a firm to do extensive research with fans during the last off-season to work out the ideal product packaging and pricing and considering the high demand for the product, they pretty much got it right on what people are willing to pay to watch the NFL.
