Wouldn't work, just don't see it. You seem obsessed with making console do stuff and be what no one want them to do and be.

Its a interesting idea. Maybe could work at 10 a month for two years but anything more and well, hell i just doubt the likelihood for gamer's to adopt this on mass.

I don't think you know what PSvue is. This has as good a chance of working as something like Netflix. And this isn't even about making "consoles" Do what they aren't supposed to do.

PSvue, like Netflix or sling TV is nothing but an app that will be downloaded to the PS4. Or ps3 or other devices. like Netflix, its just a service with the only difference being that it streams live TV. its supposed to directly be a replacement for ur cable box. You aren't gonna have this then also have cable TV, its one or the other, so why should it cost $10/month? 

And I'll put it this way, I currently pay around $60/month for cable. Pay another $40/month for internet. If PSvue comes in at $59 and has all the features announced; I'll cut off my cable in a heartbeat. And from all indications, PSvue is gonna cost a lot less than that. 

Neflix is 8 a month, they best be no more then 10 a month or else its failure.

Why should i pay for this any more then that when i will not get the content i get on cable.  My content provider owns the sports teams i watch and has exclusive games.  They wont be on Vue, so its near usless to me and will be to most.  

The programming: Sony announced in recent months that it has struck agreements with CBS, NBC and Fox as well as Viacom, Scripps and Discovery for Vue. Asked which channels this has brought to the service, my source told me the following:


“Spike, CBS, NBC, Fox, My9, Telemundo, American Heroes, Animal Planet, BET, BET Gospel, Big Ten network, Bravo, CBS Plus, Centric, Chiller, Cloo, CMT Pure Country, CNBC, CNBC World, Comedy Central, Cooking Channel, Cozi TV, Destination America, Discovery Channel, Discovery Family, Discovery Life, DIY, E!, Esquire, Exits, Food Network, Fox College Sports (3), Fox Sports 1,2,3, FX, FXM, FXX, Golf Channel, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, LOGO, Movies TV, MSNBC, MTV (Hits, Jam, 2, U), Nat Geo, all the Nickelodeons, OWN, Oxygen, Palladia, Science, Sprout, SYFY, Teen Nick, Travel, TV Land, Universal, USA, Velocity, VH1, Vh1 Classic, Soul, YES Network."
