Make Vue include PSNow and you have yourselves a subscriber.
But no, I'm not going to pay ~40$ for just that.

Also, gunna be really hard to beat hulu. Their anime lineup is ridiculous.

Can't wait til this comes to my area. $40 a month for all the good channels is a great deal.

A very good update. Next step has to be tolling this out to more cities.

So what happens if I don't live in one of the cities listed and I try to buy a subscription? Does it varies where I live?



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I live near DC and it didn't let me subscribe. Only thing they offered were a few single channels. Showtime, some soccer channel, and something else I forget.
