Sling TV Coming To Xbox One, Free Month Trial For Live Members
Microsoft and Dish have announced that the newly announced Sling TV service will be coming to Xbox One soon. The product, which will provide a variety of over-the-internet television programming from Disney, CNN, ESPN, TNT, and others, was announced today at CES.
The service will be offered for $20 per month. Xbox Live members will receive a free one-month trial at launch.
Live and on-demand programming will be included. Sling TV will also be available on Amazon Fire TV, Google Nexus Player, LG Smart TVs, Roku boxes, mobile platforms (iOS, Android), PC, and Mac.
Our Take
With HBO Go becoming available without a subscription and Dish announcing Sling TV, cord-cutters are slowly becoming able to cobble together a full slate of programming. Unfortunately, it still is patchwork.
An all-in-one programming solution is unlikely to emerge, because that’s just what people ran away from with cable. As someone who is still content with doing things “the old way,” I’m not sure of the appeal. For those that have abandoned traditional television, does is this something you're interested in?
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.
