Vue is finally available nation wide. I just signed up for Showimte here in the Puget Sound, Washington region. Hope everyone with a PS4 and PS3 give this a try. The more people using this the more conetnet Vue will get, and the faster it is going to reach new areas. This service can help PlayStation replace the some 200 million cable and satalite boxes in the US. This has the potential to put gaming in more houses than ever before. Help turn our hobby into a standard form of entertainment in every household.



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.

That's huge! Though it is just the Showtime thing for now, hopefully this means they are getting closer to a nationwide launch of Vue as a full service. This also means that everybody should get a chance to see how the Vue interface is.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I'm impressed that they're giving a discounted subscription to PS+ members.



How much of a big deal is this in the US anyway? I've no idea but i'm gonna guess that this thing is gonna be under marketed like all Sony products regardless.



Sweet! I'd get this just for Penny Dreadful. I hope this trend continues for PS Vue.



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P

Because cable and satellite services make you buy bundles of channels.  Even if you simply wanted one or two channels, you might have to pay $60 or more for like a bundle of 100 channels.  That's why I got rid of all my television services a few years ago.



Yeah but you gotta be a vue sub to be able to get Shotime for $8. Would be cool if you can just get the sho time app for $8 per month.



No, you have to be a PS+ member to get it for $8.99.  Everyone else can get it for $10.99.



Anyone wonder how long it will be until HBO Go launches their standalone service on Vue as well?

Theres no need for them to develop their own app when Sony is offering what they want already.
