PlayStation Vue - Sony's Cloud-Based Streaming TV Service

Sony announced this week that it's getting into the streaming TV game with the PlayStation Vue, a new cloud-based service debuting in 2015. Not to be confused with the PlayStation TV, this new service is set up as a competitor to cable subscriptions (much like the recent CBS and HBO standalone service announcements).

You will be able to watch networks under the CBS, Discovery Communications, Fox, NBCUniversal, Scripps Networks Interactive, and Viacom umbrellas, with more coming soon.

The service will be first available for PS3 and PS4 users before expanding to iPads and other non-Sony devices.
