They might as well rebrand the ps6 as the ps one. They’re taken everything else from Xbox’s 2013 strategy.

Vue was a great service and the best streaming option of its time. Then it got super expensive

Yep PS Vue was the best option for live TV streaming in the early days of cord cutting, used it for years and was sad to see it go.

It’s buggy as hell, but there is a channel that just shows Community, so I’m all the way in

Was amazing in its prime.
Early digital services were the best.

They had ps vue before and was my original cord cutting. Was disappointed they got rid of it.


This isn't too bad. They have a real Madrid channel if anyone is a fan. They have the 2016 CL final on rt now.
