Well PlayStation Plus has been around for a while now. PlayStation Now just had its subscription prices announed and PlayStation Vue should have its price details released shortly. Will Sony confuse customers with so many different subscription services? Do they expect anyone will sign up for all three? How much would you be willing to pay per month for an all inclusive subscription for PS Vue+PS Now+ PS Plus? Which service do you plan on subscribing to?

Waiting for Playstation Prime, where they just put all services together and make you buy the whole package.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I don't watch TV -No thanks PS Vue
I don't really care for playing old games by streaming them - No thanks PS Now
I enjoy playing multiplayer games + getting free games every month - PS Plus is the only one I'll sub to.



Well they aren't expecting people to subscribe to all 3 of those services. Each service is targeting a different segment of the market. Its a good business strategy, but I hope they can manage 3 subscription services. Its going to be difficult for them to market Now and Vue has very tough competition from other TV services.

What competition does Now have ?

Oops, I mixed the two up. I meant Vue has tough competiiton from other TV services, and Now will be difficult to market.

I like to have options.



PS Plus, PS Now, and PS Vue are all great subscription ideas. Its Music Unlimited which is the most useless customer depowering cash-in and should just be put out to pasture. Was a bit shaky about PS Now's pricing but at $20/mo it would really be worth it (once more games are added to the collection). Hopefully PS Vue pricing is appropriate once it debuts.



      

      

      

Greatness Awaits

Well, they're each for totally different things, so it's not too unreasonable.

Personally, I only subscribe to PS+ when a game I want comes on it, or in the rare case when I really want to play something online. Right now I'm not paying for it, I might renew it at the end of January before First Light leaves.

Online Gaming Service = PlayStation Plus
Live TV, Sports, and On Demand = PlayStation Vue
Retro Games on Every Device You Own Sony or Not = PlayStation Now
Music Streaming/Download = Music Unlimited
Movie and TV Streaming/Download = Video Unlimited

Sony has all forms of Gaming, Music, Telivision, Movies, and Sports available across all of their devices, and even some competing devices, and all under one account. To me they have put together the ultimate service, only Sony Entertainment Network delivers all of this. SEN is the reason I have supported PlayStation and the above services from day one. This is the culmination of the vision Ken Kutaragi had when he developed the Original PlayStation.

I do not see how this could be looked at as to many services. It offers something for everybody, and everything for somebody that wants it all.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
