I've been getting it for about $180 for the last several years, figuring that was a decent fair price.I haven't seen too much in regards to offers through various forums or people I know with Directv. I'll be curious to see what happens this year with the addition of ATT.
I'm hopeful as my contract expires in July and the small amount of credits ($15 a month) expire as well to have a little leverage. Last year the best I got was $160 for Max and that was after numerous calls of being told "nothing was available". But again, still had one year left at that time.
It'll be interesting to see what offers are posted here in next couple months.

I dropped the Max last year as well.I agree, fair price and wouldn't complain. I've been with Directv for 6 years and received it free every year except last season. So when I got it for $160 I didn't complain as I had benefited previous years. Now, I only call once a year inquiring about monthly credits or ST discounts. I usually start calling mid July and August seeing what's available. Some reps offer a lot, some don't just depends on who you get.
With ATT on board now it'll be hard to gage until people start posting deals. With the base package including streaming this year is nice, for me at least. I won't need Max although I like Red Zone, but can live without it based on additional cost.
. They wanted to give it to me for 6 months $190 I said no and they said call back in August they have better deals right before season startsI called in today asking what the options were with the retention team. Only option they have right now is $9 off the 6 month payments.
She said other things like free red zone or half price and such that they normally have are not in their system yet.
Of course, coming out of a merger they may be loaded soon, or may never be loaded.
I usually got it for about $180 a year, most of the time.. They wanted to give it to me for 6 months $190 I said no and they said call back in August they have better deals right before season starts
I usually get it for $140 for 4 payments of $35.00 and if I can get that or lower I will be fineI usually got it for about $180 a year, most of the time.
Remember, with AT&T now owning Directv, I see many of the past good deals people got being slowly dwindled down. I only base this opinion off how much they screwed up their means of retaining their cell customers. Once my current cellphone kicks the bucket (hopefully a long ways away) I'm leaving. There giving my wife this impressive deal for a new phone at only $20 a month for 30 months. She's had the same phone for 4 years and they now seem to not want to give her a deal with a new contract. This stinks for Directv customers who are now under the umbrella of a cheap skate company.
Ummm, Sir, if you look at the industry you'll see that NO ONE is doing contracts anymore.Remember, with AT&T now owning Directv, I see many of the past good deals people got being slowly dwindled down.

As for ATT not giving good deals any more .... because of the merger, that too is false.
I am talking with people every day that are real happy with the deals they are getting with thier D* and ATT Cell or internet.
They are even locking you in for a great price for 2 years.
