Ones that have been exclusive to Xbox for awhile now?

I don't know the sales disparity in the US between the PS4 and XboxOne...but with the success of the PS4, I'm wondering if that has given these services providers more incentive to expand.

I doubt Comcast would join. But with the UFC still trying to expand as a brand, I would think they might be next.

For me, it's not that big of a deal...thankx to Chromecast and my smart phone. But these apps on the Xbox, look nice and seem to have more features during live events.

Comcast still hasn't unlocked HBO GO for PS4 even though it has been on Xbox 360 and Bone forever

RIP

I really hope they don't waste too much time on it.If they do announce any of that stuff I hope they don't focus much on it.

Comcast straight up asked Sony, wassup with the VUE? Sony was like "aaaaah about that". Then Comcast was like, "yeah we cool, you do what you do"

It depends on whether Sony wants to continue the "For the gamers" style marketing campaign. They probably don't want any complaints about too much TV stuff.

A dedicated Twitch app on PS4 would be nice...

Rain City Gamer · Jun 12, 2015

The fact that some apps are still lacking on PS4 is mind boggling. It's obvious at this point that it is selling well and will continue to sell well. I just don't get why you wouldn't want your app on it.

Also if the PSTV had Netflix/Hulu I would buy 4 more of them. probably the most headscratching omission I've seen.

may be PS4 will be getting youtube gaming instead soon.

They don't even have DLNA or USB drive media playback so expectations should be tempered.

Fuck HBO Go. Get HBO Now and free yourself from the reign of cable companies. Hell, that exclusivity deal with Apple just ended so any device is fair game at this point.

The UFC app is late.

4OD, Blinkbox, DVDPost, Gaiam TV, ITV Player, ooVoo, TuneIn and YLE Areena are reportedly in the pipe.

You lie. I am looking at the website right now and I can't since I don't have Optimum as my cable provider.

ESPN would be be really nice. I prefer the iOS/Roku app over using my PC for WatchESPN.

They just need to do a slide with a ton of logos of all the apps that are coming.

yeah... unless they developed their own app with newer features worth speaking about.

Comcast is part of Vue. They licensed NBC and all of their other networks to Sony. Comcast and sony aren't mortal enemies at all.

Even 360 has all those. Sony never goes to go to the extreme like MS to get every single app available.

I just want the Plex App on PS4 to support the Free Plex users and not just the paid Plex users. Sony said that was coming for the Free Plex Users at some point.

Or just implement DLNA so we dont have to use Plex. I am using Plex now to stream my media through the PS4's web browser on the Plex Web Page. It works fine, I would still rather use the dedicated app or just DLNA integration.

i dont think this is up to sony. once plex for ps4 goes out of beta it should be cheaper as you shouldn't need the plex pass subscription anymore just pay the one time fee for the app.

I want a service like Netflix for soccer matches (champions,mls,laliga) all together!

Leaked Sony emails reveal Comcast's leeriness of PlayStation Vue

In one February email subject-lined "Comcast difficulties," Sony executive Jonathan Pearl, executive VP of legal compliance, said the two companies had discussed placing the Xfinity TV app on Sony TVs. But Comcast balked, citing concern over an initiative referred to at the time as "SEN TV." That service, an over-the-top pay-TV service, would later be rechristened PlayStation Vue and launched in select markets last month.

"Currently, Comcast is telling [Sony Electronics] they will not have further discussions about Xfinity unless we 'explain' Sony's plans for SEN TV, because '... SEN TV may compete with Comcast,'" the email said.

In that email, Pearl says he's hopeful that the distrust can be "smoothed out." And in a response, Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton describes the impasses as "resolvable."

As Pearl outlined, Sony COO Phil Molyneaux had met with Comcast Cable CEO Neil Smit in 2013 to discuss putting the Xfinity app on Sony 4K TVs. Ultimately, Comcast launched its 4K programming service late last year with Samsung as its exclusive CE partner.

when Comcast was allowed to buy NBC...that was one of the stipulations by FCC before the go ahead.

it's just not Sony, it's any company that wants to use their channels and web content services. They can't deny anyone.

Afrikan · Sep 22, 2016

well shit... took long enough, but WATCHESPN is finally on PSN. (couldn't find a thread on it)

Still waiting for UFC FightPass. :/

Do you think this is the E3 that Sony announces APP services like ESPN, UFC, etc?
