Sky Player coming to Xbox 360 in October?

Comments

• £220 a year? Thats a little bit more than getting the BBC's iPlayer on the PS3 which is completely free. Posted by JJMcClure, UK
• there is already both available in my house but the sky is under my housemates name will i be able to get sky player? Posted by lee loveridge, england
• Will this be available outside of the UK, in place such as Austria? Posted by John, Winston
• JJMcClure, PS3 might have Iplayer which is free, but does it have sky sports and movies?
  
  No. Now shut up. Posted by James, England
• Oh and this is free for all customers who already have sky. Posted by james, England
• It's not free for customers who already have Sky if you still need an XBox Live Gold membership as well. And does that £15/mo include Sky Movies and Sky Sports? Not according to http://www.itvt.com/story/5709/sky-player-xbox-360-launch-mid-october; you still have to pay the premium subs for those on top at between £16 and £25 per month extra (assuming you don't subscribe to them on your regular Sky account).

• The point is that if you already subscribe to Sky and Live Gold then this is a great feature and I can't wait to try it out. Posted by Matt, England
• Everyone with an Xbox 360 already pays 4.99 a month for Xbox Live anyway - we wouldn't have it any other way. The benefits far outweight the cost. (Unlike Playstation network which is free but provides nothing of value).
  
  My PS3 was the biggest waste of money on a gadget yet! Aside from the Music it us very much trailing Xbox 360. There are so many more advantages to having an Xbox 360 over a PS3! This is why PS3 marketshare is dissapearing, PS3 users are making the move!

• thats quite sad because the ps3 has it for free and they got i think bbc iplayer or itv, then ps3 wins the point Posted by Aman, UK
• the 360 is so so so much better than the ps3 why? the chat on ps3 is fucking shit you cant even have party chat like 360 to chat to some body you have exit the game and you have a choose text/video and talking to anybody online is a fucking DICK thats right a DICK and the games play in 720p. what the fuck the 360 play in 1080p only ps3 plays in 1080p is for the fucking blueray movie and when you want to play a game on the ps3 it takes 20 - 45 min to play a game. fucking update i could have a good shag or a wank in that time where the 360 does not the bbc iplayer is a load of wank who gives a fuck about the bbc. the 360 has the highest sales rate than any other console bitches. sky tv is better much than the fucking bbc iplayer what do you think assholes i use my ps3 as a footstool when i play on 360 yes thats right a fucking FOOTSTOOL hell yeah and the 360 has the best games.

• freak, uk guy what a legend saying taht about a ps3 any way sky is free if you have r a gold xbox live member and you have a sky subscription and multi-room. Posted by Rob, UK
• People Who Think Ps3's Are Better Than Xbox's Should Just Admit, That Xbox's Are better, Yes Ps3 Online Is Free, But Any Sane Person Would Pay £40 (Or Less Depends Where You Get It). To Play Some Great online Gaming. Posted by Brodie, Scotland
• Just to let people no that i am not a fanboy.
  
  Ps3 is a entertainment hub that provides alot then you think.
  
  To James comment yes you can watch sky sport on your ps3.
  
  im going to give you 10 pointers about the PS3 that beats the xbox360.
  
  1. Watch movies (AVI, MPEG, WMV)
  2. Blu-ray movies (As xbox360 failed with HD DVD)
  3. Music (play music or you can listen to stream music)
  4. look at you pictures (PS3 picture album)
  5. Play games (Uncharted 2 best game ever)
  6. BBC iplayer (BBC what more can you say, Top Gear)
  7. You can watch live TV on your PS3 web browser (sky sports, movies, etc)
  8. Browse the internet with you ps3 web browser
  9. Remote play (PSP, sony ericsson)
  10. And its FREE Posted by Liammad, UK
• And other pointer for the PS3 to sell 1,230,00 in a month. xbox360 could never do that. Posted by Liammad, UK

  1. So can Xboxs
  2. Blu-ray really isnt that good! Expensive shit too.
  3. woah musix? so can we...
  4. So can we...
  5. So can we...
  6. Freeview TV (which you dont have to buy for £300+ as you would for a ps3 just for that?? Or you could simply use the iplayer on the web? Anyways Top Gear barely has any new episodes nowadays.
  7. I dont believe you can do this on the PS3, even if you can we now have sky (:
  8. I've tried this on my PS3 downstairs, pile of wank hardest shit in the world to use, not fast browsing at all, rather use my laptop.
  9. Not as good as a normal controller
  10. That argument for the PS3 is just cheap to be fair, I'd rather pay and get better service, Sony cant rely on free forever. Microsoft will be making enough money from Xbox Live which to be fair is not that expensive, max £40 a year which is a puny £3.30 a month. People dont realise how small that is!
