It premieres with a ”really strong offering” and Sony plan to grow its library by 50 films ”per week,” with 2,000 available from day one.
”The launch of the PlayStation Network video delivery service extends our entertainment offering and provides consumers with another way to access their favourite movies, whether at home or on the go,” said SCEE’s Andrew House, reports CVG.
”With the choice of content constantly expanding, including full games, bite-size downloadable “minis” games, demos and now movies too, the PlayStation Network is the gateway to a world of entertainment.”
The Dark Knight, Dead Space: Downfall, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and many more will be available from tomorrow.
“We’re starting out with a really strong offering – there’s plenty there to choose from, a tremendous number of current hits – and then I think we’ll grow it somewhere in the region I hope of about an additional 50 movies per week,” continued House.
“So that’ll encourage return traffic, people coming back, something new for them there to check out – we’re feeling fairly comfortable about the content line-up we’ve got, and that’s led us again to this being the right time to launch.”
While US users get access to Netflix on the PS3 now, Europeans have the alternative solution of the Video Store to help deliver us movie goodness. It was believed to be launching today but Sony retracted their press release, and revealed its tomorrow.
