I'm stunned. Did people honestly think this wasn't gong to happen?

I'll believe it when I see it. Services that launch in only one region tend to take quite some time to spread out to other regions while they work on fixing the various problems. I'm not expecting it in the EU until 2015 at the very earliest and even then it will probably be a mere shell of what it will be like in the US at that point.
IPTV is still very niche in the UK with only YouView from BT and TalkTalk which launched 15 or so channels and BT Sport through fibre optic broadband.
I just hope Sony can manage to make a deal with Sky in the UK, hopefully Microsoft haven't got it exclusive again.
Replace the word Sony with Microsoft and imagine how different the replies on here would be...

This could be huge if they get access to the big sports channels here in the U.S.
ESPN, NFL Network, etc. HBO would be big too.
Eventually? Sure. I just didn't expect Sony to be ahead of the game on this right now.
Persecution complex much?

Oh good, another US centric feature. First Gaikai and now this...
GG Sony.
Read the article. Looks like they are going to try and make it a subscription service where you will access apps from each provider to access the streams. Seems really similar to the HboGo system on the 360 where you log in through your content provider and get access to the shows.
Seems interesting, but pretty much everyone will need to subscribe to their cable company or use an antenna to get anything local.
No, not at all.
Just pointing out the hypocrisy and putting things in perspective.
Any Microsoft tv-related thread would be filled with negativity, check it out yourself if you have to. It's true.
Back on topic...
It looks like the battle for "a la cart cable" is going to be segmented by different services which is unfortunate. I want everything in one place. I don't want to to have to sign up with Sony for Discovery and then have to sign up with Microsoft for ESPN, for example. In the end it could end up costing the same as cable.
So pretty much the same thing as Xbox Viacom based MTV app? That isn't really IPTV then and instead is just another way to access cable content without a cable box. Disappointing.

Expected, tv entertainment is one of the thing Sony does best. So why the hell not combine that with PlayStation and just shoot for the stars.

Holy shit. The Netherlands is like the Gaikai Nexus.
Awesome.
WHOA!
Persecution complex to the maxx
Now ask yourself why that would be
Microsoft made it clear what their intentions were when they showed off their console to the world and talk about nothing but TV. It took outcry and dissatisfaction on a huge level for them to turn things around completely.
I'm sorry but Microsoft got what they deserved. When really all their new "TV" stuff is an over glorified picture in picture feature that my TV could do 4 years ago. Offering these services is fine for both platforms its the other TV stuff that isn't so hot on the Xbone.
When will people realize Sony has been at this LiveTV thing on consoles long before Microsoft?Sony Too! is now appropriate

I read the article and I didn't get this impression at all. Sounds to me like they plan to have their own subscription service, not have apps that require an already subscription from a cable company. The article even directly says this would be in competetion to cable. Not sure how you are reading it so differently than I am.
lol what?

I live in the Gaikai center O.O
Probably near a data center.I live in that green.
Is this the new persecution complex at the moment?
Sony never ever innovates, they only copyWhen will people realize Sony has been at this LiveTV thing on consoles long before Microsoft?
My view was that they are going to try and create a centralized tv location where you can sign up and live stream as well as play on demand content from the providers. Think of it as combining all of the different content provider apps into one location, but you can also watch the TV live. Which sounds great in practice, but don't most people prefer to use on-demand/DVR? That's pretty much how I watch most of my TV.

LOL, you guys think Microsoft didn't think about this before ? MS actually wanted iptv on computers and anything they can imagine way before Sony.
Yeah, actually that's what I do as well, I rarely watch anything live. But I'm also paying $100 for cable for those features. If it was cut down to say $20 and I still had on-demand, I could probably live without DVR
