There may be a chance they wait a week since they are offering a free week trial. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was available immediately as a "Thank you for trying out the WWE Network!" ploy.

The chamber will not be placed on the network to March. It was said in Vince's conference call. The 14 Rumble will be there and after the chamber all other ppvs everything else will be available instantly to rewatch

So I've been told by Support that the Network is only available actively on one device per account. You can close it entirely on one device and open it on another, but it can't run simultaneously on two devices unless one is strictly in second screen mode.

This is very disappointing. I mean, I understand to a degree... but it's still disturbing. A family of four shouldn't be expected to all sit and watch on one screen... especially when they've advertised it on all these platforms. You should be able to sit in separate rooms and watch from the same account at the same time.

I had two separate devices running all day on the same account, both showing different shows. Had no problem.

I'd be careful with that, because that was the ONLY quick response I got.

I don't think it matters if the ip checks out. It worked on 3 screens at once yesterday at home for me

Thanks for making me feel old with that comment. I've known families of 8 that only had 1 tv in the whole house, and I was considered "well off" because we had a 20" in the recroom for the NES & VCR.

Anyways, how is it? Is there enough content to condone a 6 month subscription, or is it like Crackle & Netflix, where you would get bored of it after just a few months?

All the old PPVS are awesome and can take you a long, long time to watch all the great ones. The new shows like Countdown, and Legends House will be worth it, but the main reason why I think its worth it, and won't get old is the PPV's for only 9.99. And the quality is amazing. I've had zero lag, and everything is in beautiful HD. I'd even say it looks better than my TV picture. It is worth the money right now for sure. Only 60 bucks for 6 PPV's, tons of old content, and new shows? Thats the price of a Video game now a days, and I'm sure you'll still be using this Network 6 months into the future. I can't say the same about todays games.

I got the Fallout 3 GOTY, still playing it to this day. As for the PPV's it really is a non issue for me as I stream anyways, plus, if I am using my Wii U that tablet does out perform my 1080p Sony. Any idea when HiaC'14 will be up for viewing? That could sway my stance as I am usually watching much better programming on Sunday nights.

I still have to wait to use it, since I am outside the target market. Which is a slap in the face considering how long they have had to get everything in order, but can only get licensing in the states kinda makes me wonder about what that first W stands for these days.

It's fuckin' worth it. You get all the old PPVs even Chris Benoit for fair, cheap monthly price.

However, I got XWT and PWT still so I can already get everything.
