I would have been happy with the $100 for $80 deal from a few days ago but that code didn't work for me and I was trying this deal/code before anyone posted about it and it wouldn't accept the code. I was using paypal checkout, because eventually the store bugged out and paypal locked my account. I can't get past the proceed to checkout screen at this point.

Try this, dude just posted it in the other thread:

Had a tough time doing the $109 for $150 psx bux - every time I tried to check out, an UNKNOWN_ERROR occured. I called in and the eBay rep walked me through buying them via ebay.com.au even though I'm in the US :wtc: but it did work there, so yay for cheap games!

Sorry, guy.
I got my 150 for 109 but instantly realized I hadn't updated my shipping address in PayPal post-move a month ago and immediately emailed the seller.

Fingers crossed I can salvage.

Yeah that's the one. It says that in your email but you'll get them digitally delivered. I ordered like 7 hours ago and got my order not too long ago. You'll have them sometime tomorrow I bet.

Man, PSVue expanded to my area and it's really tempting. I think I have a contract with Verizon thought and if I get rid of my TV services they'll charge me up the wazoo. Still, I might see what I can do because $30 a month us pretty dang reasonable

Vue is now in all markets, but does not include live broadcast channels in markets that can get them over the air.

It's a solid deal, especially for me as a soccer fan because it includes FS1, ESPN, NBCSN. Also according to their FAQ you can authenticate on the channel apps/sites (Fox Sports GO, WATCH ESPN, etc) with your PSN account to watch anywhere.

I'd like to be able to access the new "Slim" tier that only costs $29.99, but I'm not seeing that as an option—presumably because I live in the Dallas area.

I believe how it works is that people in the new markets don't get any of the channels which are available OTA (e.g. ABC), and as a tradeoff it's $10 less. You unfortunately can't take advantage of this if you're somewhere which doesn't have this restriction.

??? New York City can definitely get OTA network channels but Vue has them included. Only certain city markets have them and that's why the nationwide rollout is cheaper, that's what I was saying

Oooooh. That makes sense. I'm not sure if that's something I woulds use or not. I don't actually have a handle on how much stuff I watch from OTA networks.

Yeah I see that it's a clusterfuck like pretty much every TV related thing ever, but it's a no-brainer in my area.

Vue is $29.99

Comcast/Dish/DirecTV are like $60+ once the "HD fee" and box lease and taxes and fees and poo poo are all added up. And that's WITH a 2 year contract.

It should be noted that while you don't get the live local networks, you do get access to their on demand library, so if you an wait the week or so it takes for them to put their shows up there, it won't make a huge difference.

Yeah I have Time Warner which sucks and is too expensive so I signed up for the free trial to check it out, I'm in the NYC region so I can get live networks too

For anyone that has the Slim package, how extensive are the Catch Up archives? I'd love to get caught up on Better Call Saul and Fargo, but I saw an (albeit from last fall) article online that said the archives for shows/channels were minimal at best.

Dunno but I read that a PS Vue subscription gives you access to network-specific apps which usually have more of a selection available

Given the subject matter of the games in question would it be ironic or not if people ended up getting their info stolen? I already own it so I'm not concerned I'm just curious if that would fall under irony or not.

edit: I clicked that link and got a popup offering me a whopping 1% of any purchase which I found amusing.

The rush is on.
If anyone is getting error "s4_2s1-3" when trying the free trial of PS Vue, it might be because your address is not updated in the store, or your credit card expired because why would you put your credit card on the PSN?

I haven't had cable for years, but was burnt out on netflix and all that poo poo. Was nice to be able to just "get cable" without having to call or sign up for some guy to come to my house and push for upgrades and deal with all that horrible poo poo.

Yea Vue is pretty cool so far. It just sucks that it's at the mercy of my lovely apartment Internet. Looks like I can only get 720i, but it's not the huge step down that 480i is at least. The management here doesn't allow media bundles, so it's this or a standalone $60/mo basic cable on top of the $50/mo basic Internet. It definitely gets enough worthwhile channels to be worth $30, and the DVR/on-demand seems to be pretty robust although I haven't messed with it much yet. I'm grampa when it comes to cable TV tech.

Right as I post this, it crashes v:shobon:v at least it remembered what I was watching when I relaunched it.

Vue seems alright so far, my DVR test of Jeopardy had a couple of weird skips in the recording but it might just be because of my internet being crappy. I'm getting an upgrade to 50mbps this week so hopefully it will work better, it'll be cool to be able to watch TV in my bedroom on the ol' PS3 too

That's been happening to me a lot with ABC and just ABC.

It happened some with other channels too right after I got Vue, which was right after the LA beta started, so I'm assuming it's because ABC is new and is still being worked on or something?
