Are you in the market for a gorgeous new TV? Are you also interested in playing the latest generation of console games? If so then Samsung and Sony have an amazing deal for you. CNET reports that Samsung and Sony are working together on a new program that will let anyone who buys one of Samsung’s web-connected TVs play PlayStation 4 games on it, even if they don’t own a PS4.

FROM EARLIER: Here are all the PlayStation and Xbox games you’ll get for free in January

“Samsung’s Internet-connected TVs in the US and Canada will be able to access the PlayStation Now service in the first half of next year,” CNET explains. “PlayStation Now enables you to stream games from the Web straight to the TV without needing a PlayStation console. You do need a Sony Dualshock controller, but once that’s plugged in all you have to do is fire up an app on the TV and you can choose from over 200 PS3 games to start playing immediately.”

Samsung really does make some fantastic TVs with beautiful displays so if you’re in the mood to upgrade your set next year, you can now get a great new TV and a hugely popular gaming console all at once.
