Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony announces its cloud TV service, called PlayStation Vue

This was announced months ago while everyone is saying Sony is copying MS? Wtf?



Around the Network

So Sony has done what MS wanted the Xbone to be. I find it hilarious how despite trying to sell the Xbone as this all in one entertainment hub, they still ultimately required the console to be connected to a cable box and hence didn't solve anything. And now Sony has finally gotten rid of the cable box altogether, something that people expected the Xbone to do with its TV focus.

Although I don't care for this TV service I have to say that Sony played its cards right. They established the PS4 as the best gaming platform (at least in terms of perception) and now they're making it an entertainment hub, going for the TV crowd. They're doing it right as well, getting rid of the cable box altogether.



 

Very good name actually. Works in multiple languages too.
The serer looks great for PlayStation users :)

Vue? Surprised they're allowed to use there, there is a UK cinema chain called Vue (who are bound to kick up a fuss).

Yeah that was the first thing that came to my head when I saw the name.



This isn't international, isn't it?



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

Another epic failure like ps now.



How do you pronounce it and why it won't be available in Poland (most likely?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Vue? More like Ewwww!!! As you can see, this name can be exploited easily

Anyway, so is it like netflix or is it like legit tv with those shitty ads included? Cause netflix >>>>>>>>>>>> TV

Why you copying :(. 

I may be late, but I was going to say that.

I agree with what you said though, but I'll fix it.  Netflix >>>> Hulu >>>>>>>>>>>>> TV.  Hulu is a great companion for Netflix.  Netflix + Hulu, who really cares about TV then unless you're into sports?  I can probably stream that crap somewhere online.



I guess this can work in the US, where a lot of people are still using cable TV and sorts.

For about 4 years now I've been using something similar to this Vue. It is IPTV, or TV provided by my internet service provider. I know it's not the same, but I guess in Croatia this Sony service would fail because you have to pay for it and internet separately.

I get my unlimited phone, unlimited internet and 100+ TV channels for about 35€. I doubt Sony can beat that.



Sony could have a winner with this if they integrate PS+/PSNow into the service.  Having football channels in the packages would help too.
