New WWE Network Headed To Xbox And PlayStation Consoles
Last night in Las Vegas WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon announced plans for an ambitious new streaming network alongside executives and wrestling superstars Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and John Cena. The network includes 24/7 scheduled and live programming alongside on-demand videos and will launch on February 24 on several devices including PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox 360. The service will be available on Xbox One this summer.
At launch, subscribers who pay $9.99 a month (with a 6-month commitment) will have access to every pay-per-view in WWE, WCW, and ECW history, live and on-demand access to all future pay-per-views, on-demand weekly shows like Raw and Smackdown, new original series, and more. Additional content will constantly be added including a live daily studio show. Check out the demo below.
Other compatible devices include computers, Kindles, Android and iOS devices, Rokus, and eventually smart TVs.
WWE Network is online-only so don't expect to order it through your cable provider.

Our Take:
As a wrestling fan, this seems like a dream come true. For the approximate price of a Hulu Plus or Netflix subscription, users will gain access to an enormous library of content that will only grow over time and include constant live programming.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
