So my PS3 bit the dust last week and I want to get the PS4 but can't afford it right now. I saw a really nice Samsung streaming Blu Ray player for $60 and was wondering if you can get the network on there at all? If not, is there any fairly cheap option out there that you can play Blu-Rays on, has USB support and can also play the network?

Since last I checked, no. To be fair, I checked when the Network was first released, but it wasn't available then.
I think it's pretty silly that it isn't. I would much rather watch it through that than a PS3 or 360.

I believe they are going to start supporting various Blu Ray and Smart TVs this month. No idea what brands/models though.

I'd suggest a Roku. You can get one for about $70 and it supports a great deal of other cool content.

I picked up a Samsung Blu Ray Player, it's wireless and it was $68 dollars, not sure if it ever adds apps, but my friends going to give me his apple tv so hopefully the network works well on that. The Blu Ray Player has a USB port also which was something I was looking for so that's cool.

WWE has said they are coming to Blu-rays players and Smart TVs. They were hoping to add these devices this summer, but I don't think they have yet.

Its on my Sony Blu Ray player I have a Sony and I can also confirm that it's on there. This is the best day. My PS3 is in the living room, so it'll be nice to be able to watch the Network before bed each night. It's probably going to cause me to become a single man, but that's the price you have to pay. Well, that and $9.99/month. EDIT: So I just tried firing it up and I continuously get this error message: "Timeout Error - Please check your network connection and restart." Anyone else getting this? I just tried Netflix and it's working fine, so I know it's not an issue with my connection. I guess they're still working out the bugs, in true Network fashion.

When it hits my Blu-ray player, I'd be much more likely to subscribe. I have a Samsung, so hopefully I'll see something this weekend.

Triple confirmed for Sony. Just watched Shield vs Wyatts at Elimination Chamber and Zayn vs Cesaro from Arrival. No problems at all. Just in time for Summerslam, too. HYPE.

I finally got it up and working on my blu-ray player and I have to say that this is infinitely better than watching it on my PS3 or 360. The stream just seems better all the way around.

Yes, I found it on my blu ray before bed last night. This is an epic, amazing, glorious time. Hopefully the stream will work better than the Roku for the PPV on Sunday.

Just checked my Sony player and it is indeed there, along with all the other apps for American sports that I don't understand. Had it arrived before Mania then I probably would've given in to temptation and subscribed, but now I think I'll wait a bit longer and see how things develop, particularly with regard to the 1st October launch.

I spoke too soon about the issues with the Network on my blu-ray player being resolved. I watched a few episodes of Saturday Night's Main Event this morning and it has given me the timeout error the rest of the day. Oh, Network.

I just watched Extreme Rules 2012. For the most part it worked okay, though during Cody/Big Show it got blurry for a bit. It also stalled out on the main event, so I had to restart the show. One disadvantage over Roku is that I can't seem to find a way to resume watching on the blu ray version. Is there anywhere to simply resume watching if you have to stop?

The App appeared on my Sony Blu Ray Player yesterday but always gets "Timed Out" errors
Being that I'm able to watch all I want on the Netflix App it shouldn't be a connection issue on my end
