The Directv website says they'll post the price when it gets closer to football season. But how much has it cost in the past? Do they show about 5 or 6 games a week? They're claiming all will be in HD. Man that sounds good. Football is awesome in HD!
How much does the NFL pack cost?

Ya, around $200, and they show every game that you are not blacked out for. Last season only a few games a week were in HD i think? This year there's a whole lot more going on, think they're going to have interactive stuff along with it.
Here's an example from CES.... http://in3.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/directv6up_1.jpg

Last year the early bird price was 200 for the season while customers who had ST last year got the renewel price of 180 for the season. All NFL games on Sunday from Fox and CBS are shown on NFL ST in SDTV. Last season Fox did upto 6 games per week in HDTV (they say upto because some weeks they have less than six total games so they did them all while other weeks they had 7 or 8 games so they only did 6 of those 7 or 8 games). CBS did 3 games per week last year.
Also I'm hearing rumors that new NFL ST pricing will occur this year and this is what I'm hearing.
They will have two packages one called basic and one called something like enhanced.
The basic will include only the SDTV games and nothing else and that will cost around 160 per season for early bird.
Now their advanced ST package will include all the SDTV games plus HDTV games and all interactive features of Sunday Ticket and is expected to cost the same as last year.
Also be aware like others said that any games shown on your local CBS and Fox will be blacked out on Sunday Ticket which means you have to watch them in SD via OTA antenna or a D* locals package and for HD customers have to use an OTA antenna to watch them until DirecTV starts to carry your local HD channels.
For example where I live in the Tampa Bay Area all the games on my local CBS and Fox will be watched via the new Spaceway sats without using an antenna.
The bottom line is that as long as you can get your local Fox and CBS stations in both SD and HD you won't miss anything. DirecTV just forces you to watch them on your local channels now but you still get them.
