majob Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 No surprise to me, the service was a poor imitation of cable and it couldn't compete with the prices of other streaming services. Sony should have partnered up with a bigger content distributor to make an exclusive service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broy300 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I had it when it was $30/month and it was a decent deal. Then they kept increasing prices and taking away channels. This does not surprise me at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 They had to add some incentive por ps + subscribers. I hope the next one is ps now. Crossing fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony should have partnered up with a bigger content distributor to make an exclusive service I've been subscribed since launch in 2015 and constantly comparing it to the other streaming services. The features, price and channels of Vue definitely exceeded the other streaming services. Sony's flaws started with calling it Playstation Vue, since people still think you need a Playstation to subscribe, and marketing it. I knew people who had been comparing other streaming services and when I asked then showed them about Vue, they all subscribed to Vue. Sony also should have integrated Crackle into Vue.

DaivRules Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Good article about what Vue brought to the table that still isn't matched by it's competitors. https://www.techhive.com/article/3449661/death-of-playstation-vue-is-a-damned-shame.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing fingers. That will probably be a package with PS Plus + PS Now for 100€. Maybe when they release the "PS Plus Gold" that was rumored to come out soon.
