BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Sony has confirmed via TheSixthAxis that the Live Events Viewer on PS3 and PS4 is being retired tomorrow. Live events such as UFC matches, concert videos and more will no longer appear in any form on the XMB of either system, however individual Live Events can be purchased from the PS Store directly. Any purchased Live Event will be saved into "My Videos" for viewing during or after the scheduled event. Live Events Viewer debuted in 2013 for PS3 and 2014 for PS4. How many of you are gonna miss this app? I never personally used it, but I know they had some good deals if you were a PS+ member. Incredibly short notice that they gave before deactivating the app. Source: http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2017/01/08/ps-live-events-viewer-discontinued/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Sony sent out a email about it last week. Live Events Viewer was okay, I remember watching the game awards on it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I dont even know what it is... Probably didnt care too much for. Now that theyll remove it maybe itll open up more system resources for other things? Was this something that ran automatically with the OS?

I saw that in the couple articles I read, but it must've gotten sent only to those who had used the app and purchased an event before. I never got one, and another couple of my friends hadn't either, and none of us ever purchased an event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateak Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That is a bummer. I would use watch E3 and the Sony events from that app. It seemed like the picture was better and the stream was more reliable than Twitch and Youtube since everyone else was using those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
