DIRECTV MLB Extra Innings Pricing, Now Incl. HD

[xzi]

From DBSTalk:

The price will be $179 for renewal, up $10 from last year.

$189 for early bird, up $10 from last year


SuperFan is gone....HD game will be included in MLB EI as part of the MLB package as long as you have HD Access.

So the net is that many of you who had MLB and SuperFan last year are actually receiving a price DECREASE.


Now, before someone starts saying why don't they do this with NFL, well there are several differences. One of the reasons SuperFan is gone for MLB is because the StrkeZone channel is no longer there, MLB Network has the rights to that program. Also, as of right now Mix Channel is up in the air....still pending some MLB approval on that. As a result, SuperFan really doesn't exist anymore so HD was rolled into it.

On the NFL front, RedZone, Mix, Short Cuts, SuperCast, Mobile Highlights, and HD are all included in SuperFan for NFL.

Looks like DIRECTV has added HD to the Game Mix this year as well, a nice bonus.

Also, the Yankees Bonus Cam is also in HD this year for the first time on channel 632, although I assume it works like last time where you just hit the "RED" button when on 631--we'll see!!
