Superbowl XLIX: How To Watch The NFL Championship Game

Superbowl-NFL-Game

Super Bowl XLIX is about to kick off in Glendale, Arizona, at 6:30 p.m. EST. There are many ways to watch the NFL game live. If you are planning to watch it in the U.S, it will be broadcast on NBC’s TV channel, starting at 1:00 PM (ET), with a pregame show. In addition to that, NBC will also stream the Super Bowl final online, free of charge, on NBCSports.com. Yes, you’ve heard that right, the NFL broadcast will be available to anyone, even those without a cable provider (and no login required).

  • To watch the live stream via your iPhone or iPad devices you will have to Download the NBC Sports Live Extra app – HERE
  • To watch the live stream via a Mac or a PC you will have to visit NBC’s own website – HERE

But Super Stream Sunday content is also available online through some other channels. For instance, you can AirPlay mirroring your tablet broadcast stream directly to your tele via Apple TV. Furthermore, Verizon Wireless customers can download the company’s NFL Mobile app and watch the game live on either their  iOS, Android, Windows Phone device (this one will be charging you $5 to watch).

Some other alternatives include the Slingbox option, where you can stream the live show to your handhelds with their mobile apps —  iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and if you’re a Dish user you can use the Dish Anywhere app for iOS, and Android.

For viewers outside the U.S things are getting a little more trickier. Either you can use a VPN service to get to see the NBC broadcast or alternatively, you can buy the NFL Gamepass or watch via UnoTelly‘s web-based. In europe, you can also watch the stream via common sports channels.

Sony's PS3 Slim Edition Console Officially Announced, Goes Live In September For $300 (Update: Now Officially On Sale Across The US)

2 Comments

Yes, we all heard about it time after time on recent weeks, but now it’s for real, as Sony finally makes the PS3 Slim edition official, at GamesCom show, ending up months of rumors and speculation about the new gaming console. And speaking about the slim console, turns out it will be available in the first week of September, worldwide, priced at merely $300 (that’s 300 Euros, or 29,980 Yen) and packing a 120GB HDD along with all the good features we know from the regular PS3. In addition, the slimmer version actually have clickable buttons on front, while sized 32 percent less than previous model. Furthermore, the new edition apparently consumes 34 percent less power and the bundle includes a wireless DualShock3 controller to comfortably rock your gaming experience from your living room sofa, as vertical stand is optional for extra $24. Sony will also release Firmware version 3.0, next to the Slim debut, so you will enjoy animated themes with avatars, some cool UI changes, modified friends lists and even a new status indicator, when running your brand new matte black console for the first time. For more details about the PS3 Slim announcement, the full specs, and some video footage to watch, hit the jump or pass the break.

Update1: Apparently, you won’t be able to play any Playstation 2 games with your new PS3 Slim console, which is a bummer (!) if you think about it, since not having a PS2 backwards compatibility will force everyone get rid of their cool games collection, but this way or another, if you keep searching for some cool advantages inside the latest Slim edition, then mind you this hot box will presumably support Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bit-streaming through your fancy hi-fi receiver. Huzzah!

Update2: Looks like Sony’s new PS3 Slim console is officially up and available across US retailers like Best Buys and GameStops (earlier than expected) for $299, so you can go down to your local store and get it NOW. Meanwhile, If you happen to have it at your disposal, already, and curious to see the inside parts of the box, hit the break and take a look, both at the image (one of few) and video footage that iFixit group has recently published.

Update3: A 250GB PS3 Final Fantasy XIII edition officially announced, set to be released in Japan somewhere around December for ¥41,600 Yen. Image is right after the break.

Update4: And moments after, Amazon.co.uk has listed a 250GB version as well, but this time you’ll have to settle with the ordinary black. Pre-order price is set for £285 ($455) and delivery is scheduled to October 1st.

Update5: Apparently, the 250GB Playstation Slim version is about to hit US shelves on November 3rd for $349.99, so you have only couple of weeks to get yourself this extra capacity-size edition.
