PlayStation Vue, Sony's new on-demand and broadcast TV service, launches in 2015


If you thought cramming a PlayStation into your TV with PS Now was crazy, Sony's now trying to do, well, the exact opposite, bringing broadcast TV (and bigger dose of on-demand content) to both the PS4, PS3 and, well, the iPad. Another subscription service, you might think. However, Sony has already signed up some major networks and players (Fox, CBS, Viacom and ABC, for starters) and a no-contract setup: you'll pay month by month -- like how you pay for Netflix. More device support from both Sony and non-Sony hardware is set to roll out to the service in the future, although there's no specifics just yet. Beta testers will see around 75 channels of content, including local networks, when tests start later this month, although there's one proviso: they have to live in Chicago, Philadelphia or LA. For the rest of us, the entire service is set to go live in early 2015.
