That's cool and all but people are already subscribed to countless streaming services that are on a lot of other devices. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc.

Sony is a little late to get in on this.

ETA: If it is truly a cable replacement then it may have a shot.

What's bad for them is that they no longer make TVs so outside of Playstation it will be hard for this to stick since they can't offer it on Smart TVs.

They will have to try to get in on Roku and other streaming devices.

Problem is a lot of those services don't get shows or movies right away. Prime stream is usually good about getting it asap if the show is in their library like Vikings and Black Sails same with Hulu. But if PS can some how be able to get the shows from their partner networks when it first comes on tv, they could be on to something. Big if though.

Alot of series still are old on prime, hulu etc. If sony some how gets brand new content on that night then this could be successful.

If this thing works as designed there is a lot more offered than on any of those services. This service appears to have quite a few channels that were previously unavailable to cord cutters.

This is big for me because HGTV, E!, and MTV are on this service so if it is offered at a decent price I can now convince the wife to cut the cord.

Why can't they offer it on SmartTVs?
