I'll be the one to ask; what the f*** is a Roku? It's a device that basically makes your TV a smart TV. You plug it into your TV, type in your internet password so it connects to the internet and then you can download apps like Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, YouTube, etc. and now WWE Network. Basically an easy way to watch those internet services on your TV.

Has anyone heard definitively whether it will be on Chromecast at launch? A lot cheaper than Roku.

I'll be the one to ask; what the f*** is a Roku? "a variety of digital media players that allow customers to access internet streamed video or audio services through televisions, including subscription-based services as well as services that are available through the receiver free of charge." -Wikipedia It's like if a PS3 or Xbox didn't play games and only had access towards services like Netflix or Amazon Instant or any sports channels. If you're looking at not getting cable for your home or anything of the sort, this is a pretty great device. My brother and his wife have it and they love it.

Roku is, essentially, a streaming device for those who don't have a game console.

Now, I need to find better proof than some picture, but I saw a WWE.com poll, about what platform you would use to watch the Network, that listed TV via Chromecast as an option, so that might be happening.

Still 50-50 on ordering on Monday. Hopefully everything works out! I should add that at least in the beginning, I'm just going to hook my laptop up to the TV, and/or watch on my phone when I'm connected to wifi. Eventually I think I'm going to pick up a cheap computer tower with HDMI ports as a more permanent solution. I'll probably pick up a wireless mouse/keyboard too. I suppose I could use my PS3, but I've only used it to play games/watch BluRay's, & I don't really know how the rest of it works. Stupid, I know. Is it easy to operate for things like this? I'm sure I could figure it out, but I'm stubborn sometimes.

If the screen shots are accurate, we are going to get Old School shows, some territories like World Class, and the legends of Wrestling library

For the third year in a row, I've found a good reason to skip the WWE video game later this year. Definitely putting my $60 towards this instead.

Just downloaded the app on my PS3, so I'm all set for Monday!
I'm more excited than a kid on Christmas Eve. Seems like just yesterday we were all watching WWE's press conference and thinking that February 24 would never get here.
Can't wait to try out WWE's new toy.

For me it was the first thing in that section but if not it'll be in there somewhere.

The WWE Network app should be the first one you see on the next screen.

Thanks guys!
The system needed an update first, which is taking forever. Sigh, it's always some kind of update! Actually it just finished, annnnnd now I need to download software for the store. That's weird since I've used it before, although it has been a while. See? Always some kind of update! Ok, here we go. I guess I could've just waited & said, "thanks, I got it", but at least this is distracting me while I wait! Oh motherf***er. Now it says "This service is currently undergoing maintenance! Let's try again... Ok, here we go, I'm in. Found the app, & it's downloading. Ok, got it, annnd ANOTHER update, lol!
Thanks again!
Sorry for boring everyone with this. I got it now which is what matters. Not that anyone cares, lol!
