PRESEASON10

I used Hola with Mexico VPN on my mobile (free!) to sign up, I even had an existing League Pass account which I linked this to - just sign in after selecting Mexico VPN, the annual package, and applying the code. Otherwise you can create a new account.

Code SAVE10 came in my email and is for the NBA China Games, valid until October 8

PRESEASON10 code came in my email, expiry is unknown, it says "Our discount will only be available for a limited time, don't miss out on this special offer!"

Note that the Mexican Peso has dropped a little since this deal was posted with the SAVE10 code, so it's now about $92.50

Credit also to the original Mexico VPN deal.

    So to clarify….what do I need to do to get this…. Use a VPN everytime? Or just on sign up?

    • Saron on 04/10/2017 - 20:28

      VPN is only required for payment. I have used an Australian address and credit card before with no problem.

        So you only have to climb that wall for payment. This trumps previous deals.

    Can I watch NBA on apple tv? 95 per year looks fine for me.

    • Tm15 on 04/10/2017 - 20:26

      Sure can, its the best way to watch it!

      I can't comment on Apple TV, but if you watch through a web browser on something like Windows or Mac (not mobile operating systems like iOS or Android), you get some extra handy features.

      For example, if a game is still playing live, you can start watching from any point prior. That's the one feature I wish was available on mobile devices, and I assume Apple TV would be the same. Can't confirm though. There's also extra viewing options, and each quarter is separated to make it a bit easier to navigate.

    • tightm8 on 04/10/2017 - 20:57

      It's really good on Apple TV. Unfortunately not available on PS4 Australia (you'll need a US PSN account, another hassle)

      • patchyz on 04/10/2017 - 21:19

        I used a Canadian VPN last year and had issues with the PS4. Although xboxone's NBA app was different and I could use the Xbox to watch it. Now Xbox has updated their app to the same as the ps4's. I now have the Mexican league pass and I created a Mexican account and also changed the region of the consoles to Mexico and the both don't work!! Any ideas? I've search the net and can't find anything. It won't let me log in.. if it works on Apple TV maybe I should just get one of those? PC HDMI to tv is too much effort lol

        • BjornMorrison on 05/10/2017 - 14:43

          Last year I created a Brazilian PS4 account and downloaded the NBA app from there, which worked with the international league pass, when the old Aus one and the new USA one did not work.

        • patchyz on 05/10/2017 - 18:34

          @BjornMorrison:
          1. Deleted the current NBA app i had on the ps4
          2. created a mexican PSN account
          3. logged into the mexican psn account on the console
          4. went into settings>account>made primary account for console
          5. downloaded NBA league pass app
          6. logged in and IT WORKED!!

          happy days, thanks for your help, you encouraged me to persist after you said it works. Maybe its because I didn't download the mexican version of the app, I just used the current one i had already.

          @patchyz: Happy to hear it. I had no idea the Mexican one would work, but makes sense. For the record, last year I bought through Canada and used a Brazilian PSN account to download the app. Glad there's one more working option.

    Can you share an account? Who wants to go halves?

    • 31mop on 04/10/2017 - 20:37

      You can but only 1 person can watch at a time

      • thisispants on 04/10/2017 - 20:52

        Hmmm, could be an issue I guess.

        • geech on 05/10/2017 - 09:32

          Multiple users seem to be hit and miss. I've shared accounts with friends (prior to the VPN pricing making the pricing palatable) - and in my experience it seems you can generally have multiple people watching at the same time as long as they use a different platform - ie I would be watching on AppleTV, while my friend would be using his laptop. Your mileage may vary though….

    • 87percent on 04/10/2017 - 20:37

      You CAN but you can't watch at the same time.. I think

  • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2017 - 20:53

    This seems so easy, how have the NBA not caught on? Probs making too much to care about a couple of Aussies paying same price as local folk. Not like they're missing out though,so long as some currency lands in their humble bank account.

    • 31mop on 04/10/2017 - 20:56

      It's interesting. @ $299, I would never buy it. @ $95 I would buy it. So do they want $95 kind of 'dodgy'or $0 legitimately?

      • hanofee on 04/10/2017 - 21:05

        Most ppl who's doing it this way, will never pay $299 anyway. So, instead of getting $0, they get $95. How is it a lost to NBA?

        • UFO on 07/10/2017 - 06:12
          +1

          The NBA don't care as they are getting more money from users they shouldn't be. It's the local content providers who pay NBA for the rights (in our case Foxtel owns exclusive rights to live NBA games) who are missing out and should (but won't police it).

          That's how they can charge $30 a month for sports :(. (and why people are looking for alternatives like this)

    • tightm8 on 04/10/2017 - 20:58
      +3

      The NBA jerseys have sponsors now, I'm sure the Association and Lebron& Co don't mind us peasants paying a little less to watch them ball.

      • L0zBargain on 05/10/2017 - 14:15

        Really? When did this start? Its the only way I differentiated the NBA jerseys from NBL ones ;)

    • Jerryzhang on 05/10/2017 - 09:34

      The marginal cost for NBA is zero. So 299 i wont buy, I can go qq live for free and there is ESPN signal. 95 dollar i am in

    My one automatically renewed from last years Canada deal, was overseas came back to a bunch of emails telling me its all done :(
    Paid $130 AUD so still ok, but this is 'Juan' good deal!

    • 31mop on 04/10/2017 - 20:57

      My Canada one renewed at Aussie price last year and I did a paypal charge back as it was like $439 or something ridiculous!

  • Macky1012 on 04/10/2017 - 21:04

    This is a good dea.
    I paid 108aud a couple of weeks ago also from mexico.

    Only issue is that it does not work on a PS4.

    • Devils Advocate on 04/10/2017 - 23:08
      +1

      It does, you need to add a new PlayStation account with a US address. Then download the NBA Game Time app on the US account. Then log back in with your main Australian account and the app will now show up there.

      • punkindrublic on 05/10/2017 - 12:29

        Did the NBA fix the app though? Last year the Game Time app wouldn't even let me log in with my account details to watch matches, and the tech support people continued to 'promise' a fix before the end of the season, only for nothing to ever eventuate.

        I can stream games through my RPi Kodi setup (though prone to buffering issues), but their total failure to fix up the PS4 app was a massive letdown given how great the previous version of the app was

        • BjornMorrison on 05/10/2017 - 14:44

          I had same issue last year and after much frustration I found the solution. Sharing it again here so it will hopefully help others:

          Last year I created a Brazilian PS4 account and downloaded the NBA app from there, which worked with the international league pass, when the old Aus one and the new USA one did not work.

        • punkindrublic on 05/10/2017 - 14:47

          I assume if I'm getting the Mexican Pass I'd have to set up a Mexican PSN account?

        • BjornMorrison on 05/10/2017 - 20:29

          @punkindrublic: See above, in short, yes a Mexican PSN account works. I was assuming that the Brazilian one would work too, since last year I signed up through Canada. It's just the South American app that you're after, since it uses International League Pass credentials.

      • abuch47 on 05/10/2017 - 16:10

        Not US account as that is only for local (US) league pass which has different logins.

        Americas PSN account app will work; brazil, canada, mexico, argentina all work.

      • Macky1012 on 05/10/2017 - 19:18

        Still doesn’t work mate.
        I even updates my ps4 app.
        Does not even allow me to log in

        Any ideas guys?

        • Macky1012 on 05/10/2017 - 22:16

          All good now. Followed the steps as per above.

    Are there blackouts with the mexico one? currently using India's one and so far hardly noticed any blackouts (except here and there). Looking to move to this one since this is much cheaper.

    • geech on 05/10/2017 - 09:33
      +2

      No blackouts. The only "limitation" is you can't watch games using the international league pass whilst you're in (or connected via) the US

      • SDF05 on 05/10/2017 - 15:58

        So do i need to be connected to VPN to use this then? And it's not like i'm gonna be in the US so i guess that means i'm fine right?

  • fookos on 04/10/2017 - 23:55

    If paying by PayPal what's the best approach?

    If choosing pesos as currency it comes to the $95 you reference - but you may get overseas conversion charges on most cards?

    Alternatively you can choose Aussie dollars as currency on NBA order, but it will end up about $99.

    Anyone used pesos - what happens in PayPal - charge you in pesos or does PayPal convert it for you (resulting in AUD on credit card?).

    EDIT: All good folks - went ahead and paid in AUD. Really must get a 28degrees card some day.
