If you’re a van of the video streaming service Playstation Vue but wishing it will be available in more platforms, then you have your wish. Sony has announced that you will now be able to watch your shows and movies on your Roku devices, including the Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Streaming players, and Roku TV. By next week, you will also be able to download the streaming app on your Android smartphone and tablet of choice.
The Playstation Vue service, now available nationwide in the US, is meant to either supplement or replace your existing cable subscription. Depending on the plan that you subscribe to, you will have access to various live cable TV channels, movies, sports channels, and other video streaming content. Currently, you are able to watch your videos through your PS4, PS3, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and iOS devices. But pretty soon, even your Android devices will be added, along with the aforementioned Roku devices that they are now supporting.
There are three kinds of plans that you can get for the Playstation Vue. Access will get you 55+ channels at $29.99/month, but $39.99 for New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, and Miami since they have major live local broadcast stations. Core has 70+ channels (including all Access channels) plus live national and regional sports networks and you’ll have to pay $34.99/month and $44.99 for the aforementioned cities. Lastly, Elite will give you 100+ channels including all from Access and Elite, plus movie and entertainment channels. It’s $44.99 per month and $54.99 for the major cities.
If you’re still not convinced that you’ll actually need this service, you can sign up for the seven-day free trial option. But if you don’t have any of the devices mentioned, then you might want to wait for it to actually be available in Android, which is sometime next week.

The dealbreaker? No 5.1 audio. I won’t subscribe until they advance beyond stereo sound.
