On March 18th, Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment announced the launch of PlayStation Vue, an over-the-top (OTT) subscription TV service available on the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and PlayStation 3 (PS3). At first look PlayStation Vue seems to be a pale imitation of fixed network subscription TV service offered by Comcast (Xfinity), Verizon (FiOS), Dish Network and other pay TV providers in the U.S., however, further examination shows a service that, while not perfect, does have unique advantages compared to its fixed network competition.
