SAN MATEO, Calif. June 15, 2015 Sony Network Entertainment International LLC (SNEI) and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced the expansion of PlayStation Vues multi-channel packages to the Greater Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay Area designated market areas (DMA) as part of the nationwide rollout of its pioneering cloud-based TV service. PlayStation 4 (PS4 ) and PlayStation 3 (PS3 ) owners in both markets will be able to subscribe to the service beginning today, with other markets coming later this year.
PlayStation Vue will also begin offering consumers the option to subscribe to individual channels through its a-la-carte offerings to all PS4 and PS3 owners in the U.S., beginning with SHOWTIME , FOX Soccer Plus and a new and exclusive premium service from Machinima, with more to come.
Were pleased to expand PlayStation Vues packages to two additional major TV markets, representing the first time consumers on the West Coast will have access to their favorite live and catch-up TV content as well as cloud DVR with unlimited capacity, said Dwayne Benefield, vice president, head of PlayStation Vue at SNEI. We are seeing strong engagement from PlayStation fans in the three cities where we initially launched, and the introduction of a-la-carte channels nationwide provides viewers even greater choice and flexibility.
PlayStation Vue offers live programming so viewers can catch up on local broadcast news or watch their favorite local sports teams in action. PlayStation Vue in the Los Angeles and San Francisco markets will offer users up to 85 channels per market through three existing subscription packages (Access, Core, or Elite) that range from $49.99 to $69.99 per month with no long-term commitment.
PlayStation Vue will be the first pay-TV service to allow users to subscribe to individual channels without requiring the purchase of a multi-channel package. PlayStation Vues initial a-la-carte offering will launch nationwide this summer with the following networks.
SHOWTIME will be available directly through PlayStation Vue for $10.99 a month starting in July just in time for the season premiere of Ray Donovan. For PlayStation Plus members, the monthly subscription will be available for just $8.99. All subscribers will receive a 30-day free trial. PlayStation Vue users will be able to enjoy SHOWTIMEs award-winning lineup of original programs, uncut Hollywood movies, documentaries, comedy specials and latest sporting events. PlayStation Vue subscribers to Showtimes a-la-carte service will also be able to access Showtime Anytime on many other devices, including those powered by iOS and Android.
FOX Soccer Plus will be available directly to consumers through PlayStation Vue for $14.99 per month, starting in August to coincide with major UEFA Champions League matches. For PlayStation Plus members, the price will be $12.99. All subscribers will receive a 7-day free trial. With FOX Soccer Plus, viewers can access exclusive match content from the most prominent and highest profile soccer competitions in the world.
Machinima, the most dominant programming service for gamer culture and fandom, will debut their first premium TV channel on PlayStation Vue, including exclusive content from Machinima s in house studio. The Machinima channel will be available later this summer as part of PlayStation Vues Elite multi-channel package, or as an a-la-carte offering for $3.99 per month. For PlayStation Plus members, the price is $1.99 a month. All subscribers will get a free 7-day trial to Machinima, which features original content, including daily news and entertainment shows, new gameplay and original scripted animation and comedy series, along with hundreds of hours of the best content curated from the Machinima network.
