Sony announced that its PlayStation Vue streaming service would be coming to the United States not too long ago and now we have a clear look at how much the service will cost and what will come with it. The company already has several major networks on board and dozens of channels, all of which will come in bundles. The Access bundle will give you around 50 channels for $50/month, the Core bundle will offer all of those channels as well as some sports channels for $60/month, while the Elite bundle has 84 channels.

Sony has finally revealed pricing and the full channel list for its PlayStation Vue streaming video service, which is launching now in New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. The basic “Access” bundle will cost $50 per month and includes roughly 50 channels. Several major broadcast networks such as CBS, NBC, and Fox are on board, and the bundle includes dozens of cable channels such as CNN, Fox News, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and the Food Network. The “Core” bundle costs $60 per month and mainly adds a handful of regional sports channels such as Fox Sports and the Big Ten Network. (The actual channels in this bundle depends on region. For instance, New York subscribers get the Yankee-focused YES network, while Chicago and Philadelphia subscribers get CSN.) PlayStation Vue’s “Elite” bundle includes 84 channels, adding more niche interests such as Cooking Channel, Fox College Sports, Sprout, and VH1 Classic. You can view the full channel list and sign up for an account through Sony’s website.
