New App Brings Live Events To PSN Starting With WWE SummerSlam
A new Live Event Viewer app will allow PlayStation 3 owners to access a wide variety of both free and pay-per-view events.
The app, which goes live with the schedule PSN update today, aims to bring all manner of live events, from wrestling to concerts to races, to the PlayStation 3. These include the WWE SummerSlam Championships, which happen this Sunday. The app will offer a variety of events, some free and others for purchase. SummerSlam, in keeping with WWE policies, will be a pay-per-view event, which we confirmed with a Sony representative.

Our Take:
Until we see how many and the quality of the live events that will be offered
through this app, it's hard to make a real judgment on its quality. I
personally don't watch a lot of live pay-per-view events, but some of the
wrestling fans on the GI staff that have also cut the cord with cable
television will likely find this useful. As always, in the world of
entertainment content, more is more and I count this as another nice addition
to PlayStation Network.
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.
