DO NOT TALK ABOUT WAYS TO SUBSCRIBE TO AND GET WWE NETWORK OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS AGAINST PROBOARDS TOS AND THE LEGALITY OF IT IS QUESTIONABLE AT BEST. ANYBODY WHO DOES WILL BE WARNED AND SUSPENDED FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE WEEK.

WWE NETWORK BEGINS TO ROLL OUT
by Mike Johnson @ 3:10 AM on 2/22/2014

The WWE Network has been added to Roku and Playstations 3 and 4, so if you want to add the channel to your devices now, you will be able to immediately.
Of course, you will have to wait until Monday morning to subscribe to the channel and look at content, but you will be able to add it to your devices as of this moment.

No word on other devices yet, but I am sure that will happen over course of the weekend.

If you weren't prompted for your payment information and are getting the "Media Error: Video not available" message, try to follow these steps, it worked for me:

Go to My Account > Billing information. You'll probably get a message about not being a subscriber. Click Buy WWE Network on the left panel and you should be led to an area to put in your billing information.

I got it on my PS3 this morning, right after you download it, it has an update.


FAQS:

Q: Is it billed $60 upfront?
A: No. It is billed $10 a month, every month for 6 months.

Q: What is a Roku?
A: It is a streaming device similar to Apple TV, Chromecast and the like. You connect it to your network, download apps and watch them on your TV. The only Rokus that are announced as compatible are Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2 and Roku 3.

Q: Will it be on Apple TV and Chromecast?
A: While not official, they gave out specially branded Apple TVs and Chromecasts at the Las Vegas event so it seems likely.


WWE's FAQ

Saw this a bit ago. Whenever it's up on the 360 I'll need to download it. It is good to see they're actually thinking to start rolling it out a few days in advance, shows if nothing else they're smarter than a lot of companies.

So I just picked up WWE 2K14 and going through the 30 Years of Wrestlemania mode.... and all I can think of is, "God I can't wait for Monday!"

As a person who spends more time staring at stuff to watch on Netflix than actually watching anything, this makes a tremendous go-to when I just wanna veg out and watch something.

[King Boo]

I just checked, and it's up on Roku.

Be aware, they completely stop trying with 30 Years of WrestleMania after WrestleMania 19 or so.

Not a problem. I'm barely trying with the mode anyway.... it's more of a get-together with friends game for me.

just downloaded the app, it's such a tease!

And f*** Rock/Cena II from WM XXIX. That's all I'll say.

I didn't have any trouble with one.

That being said, f*** Orton / Triple H / Cena.

That was a pain, but Rock/Cena II caused me migraines. It's all based on luck.

Know you found it, but I'll just let everybody know anyways.

-Go to PSN Store
-Select "Apps"
-Scroll all the way to the end where it says "All PS3 Apps" (although once this officially launches, I'm sure they'll have it front and center)
-First one there

This. I'm pretty sure they extend the reversal window on Rock/Cena, but the WM24 3-way was hell. Cena and HHH just do NOT want to sell! And the Punt takes so freaking long to set up.

Also I'm convinced it's impossible to do the WrestleMania Moment without knowing in advance what buttons are coming up. You have to be immediate on that third one and there's no time to let it process because it comes directly after the second one.

Hell, how I wound up beating it was hitting the punt on Cena, then immediately RKOing Triple H and pinning him. That counted.

In speaking with a Roku representative, I was told that older Roku devices will not be carrying the WWE Network.

According to the rep I spoke with, the only Roku devices which will be "compatible" with the WWE Network are the Roku LT, Roku 1, Roku 2 and Roku 3.

If you own an older device, such as the Roku HD, you will not be able to stream the Network. What is odd about this is that WWE specifically mentioned "older Roku devices" would be able to stream the Network in the video they produced with the Bellas.

We've reached out to WWE. When we hear back, we'll update.
