Sounds like it’s coming to PS3 soon anyway, and won’t require paying anything above the usual SkyPlayer/Sky subscriptions. Yet again Xbox owners get charged twice…

Why on earth would you use a low-bandwidth crappy quality streaming service (that uses all your internet bandwidth) when you already have a Sky Box that can record???

Seems like a solution desperately trying to find a solution (and fools with too much money).

Except Sky Player access is also included *in* that cost of getting a dish and box installed in your house. Sky’s essentially giving you another way to access it. And you don’t have to use the Xbox in the same house as the dish. If you go away to uni, for instance, you can piggy back on mum and dad’s Sky subscription. Not a bad little deal.

How can you say a fool and his money…. You bought a PS3 and if you pay £50 a year for gold then definately who is the fool, try looking around first and you might find you can get it for £27.

Meh, i’ll stick to PlayTV on the PS3… It doesn’t sound like a particularly good deal..
“£15 per month for the Base Entertainment Pack, rising to £40 per month for every channel available on Sky Player.” Thats the same as signing up to sky and getting a Satellite dish and reciever installed (plus of course £50 a year for Xbox Live Gold). And this is going to kill your bandwidth streaming television. I hope your ISP is ready for this (and that your broadband package is unlimited, as you may need to pay to upgrade that too).

seems Sky and Microsoft are milking the stupidity of Xbox gamers. A fool and his money…..

Still you can have stupid mii-like things wave at you, making your Xbox look like a PlayMobile party play set…
