Many of you have been patiently waiting for PlayStation Vue to come to your city, and today we’re pleased to announce that PlayStation Vue is making its nationwide debut. We’re expanding the service to the rest of the U.S. to give our fans a better way to watch popular live and on-demand TV from top networks like AMC, ESPN, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, and more, using PlayStation Vue’s unique streaming features.
We’re kicking off this launch with our new Slim multi-channel plans that are available in the 203 newly launched markets. Here are the prices for these new plans — all are offered with a free seven-day trial.
- Access Slim: 55+ channels, including live cable TV, movies, and sports channels for $29.99 per month.
- Core Slim: 70+ channels, including all the channels from Access Slim with the addition of national and regional sports networks for $34.99 per month.
- Elite Slim: 100+ channels, featuring all the channels from Core Slim with the addition of more top movie and entertainment channels for $44.99 per month.
With an Internet connection and a PlayStation Vue TV-connected device, there are no hidden fees or long-term contracts for PlayStation Vue.
Some of you may be wondering, what’s the difference between Slim and our standard multi-channel plans available in previously launched cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, and Miami)? Slim plans are only available in the newly launched markets and will offer all of the same live cable channels as the standard PlayStation Vue plans. However, ABC, FOX and NBC will offer video-on-demand (VOD)-only content. This means you’ll be able to access top network content, including primetime shows, from the three broadcast networks. Most on-demand content will be available within 24 hours after airing. CBS live and on-demand programming will also be added to select cities at a later date.
We’re working to add local broadcast stations to your city, which will add live, local programing to the channel lineup. You can find more information on plans in your city here: www.psvue.com
Users can take advantage of PlayStation Vue’s unique TV streaming features, including the following:
- Cloud DVR — PlayStation Vue’s unmatched cloud DVR allows users to record hundreds of shows at once and store thousands of hours of content.
- Simultaneous Streaming — a single PlayStation Vue subscription allows users to simultaneously stream content across different devices.
- Powerful Interface — this seamlessly blends live and on-demand content to put top programming front and center, with innovative search and discovery tools. You can also “catch up” on many popular programming within the past three days from a show’s first live airing.
In addition, users can also access programming from more than 60 network mobile apps or websites, simply by logging in with their PlayStation Network ID. The mobile apps and websites are developed by network programmers and are a separate offering from PlayStation Vue, but can be used at no additional cost.
Users can access PlayStation Vue through PS4, PS3, Amazon Fire TV, and Fire TV Stick, as well as iPad and iPhone through the PlayStation Vue mobile app. Google Chromecast is also supported via compatible iOS devices.
We’re excited about this expansion, and can’t wait to share more news about our future plans for PlayStation Vue.
YES been looking forward to this expanding, can’t wait to check this out now that its available nationwide, this is going to be huge, Great job to everyone involved to make this happen
That’s great! This is an exciting day for PlayStation Vue! Enjoy!
I agree with all of this
I like this, but I would like to see local channels/CBS and Android support…Especially the android support, or at least roku support.
Looking forward to psvue. But unfortunately not fully accessible. NEEDS to have have Android support and would be amazing for PS Vita support. Honestly… Catering to 30% of the mobile market (iphone only) exclusively makes its difficult for the remaining 70% to get in on this. Price points are reasonable, especially considering cloud DVR. Genius idea.
Unfortunately the ps3 lagging software the way it is, and no support for the vita… Or Android makes getting vue something I can’t be in board with yet. Hopefully thought this still keep going and progressing healthily.
I second the notion of Android support. I am sure you’ve already got that on the way. :)
That’s awesome. Now bring it to Canada. Please.
The big networks owns most of all channels tough.
The toughest part will be the CRTC and if they even allow PS Vue in the country.
Worth’s a try. Convince the big companies such as Bell, Rogers, Telus, Videotron and Shaw that people who own their competitors services will be able to get their channels when otherwise they wouldn’t get any money from them seeing they are with another provider.
You can also go to the channels themselves. We do have USA channels in Canada anyway such as Cbs, Fox, Abc, Nbc, Cnn. So you’re already half way there.
Nice prices. In Canada, you’d pay twice that amount for the same amount of channels.
Sounds great but I have some reservations about it. What happens when the network goes down or DDoS attacks happen? You won’t be able to access Vue. Even during times where unexpected maintenance happens and you can’t access anything except Hulu or Netflix, YouTube, etc. That’s my only gripe about this.
Just started my free trial, and I’m loving it.
I went to try the free trial and it says it is not offered in my local network? What does this mean? I been wanting to sign up for this once it goes nationwide. I love in chattanooga, TN
Sony needs to integrate their own Crackle app into Vue, that should have been a day 1 feature.
Crackle is Sony crop. too, why not?
It needs to also be on the vita/PS TV. because in the case of people who have either of them and a ps3 but don’t have enough to get a ps4 yet and the fan is super loud and you don’t wanna use it so there’s no overheating they can turn on their PS Vita or TV and use that instead of using the ps3. Because I’m dealing with that now I have a ps3 and TV but my ps3 cooling fan can get loud as hell and I don’t wanna deal with that because then I have to turn my TV up and I hate having to do that.
They should have Spanish channels like Univision and Univision Deportes, that would be really good.
Can I watch local news on ABC’s channel? I would switch today.
