Sony has just announced a “new era” in how PlayStation user can consume content, as the PlayStation Home network now lets users watch movies together via the Crackle network, and can expect to listen to music together by December, too.
Sony’s PlayStation Home social gaming network is adding a new dimension to online entertainment. Sony has just announced that it will be releasing hundreds of movie titles for viewing via Crackle on all LOOT Entertainment on Demand (EOD) screens starting this week. With the service, users can watch movies and TV shows with as many as 60 other users in social viewing mode, or as many as 11 friends in invitation-only private viewing mode.
LOOT EOD screens can be found in the LOOT EOD Theater, Sunset Yacht and Hollywood Hills House, and will start offering movies like Resident Evil, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, A Few Good Men, and the like.
Sony has also announced that by December, live audio streams from RadioIO and live video streams via UStream will also be available, further bolstering the network’s position as a provider of on-demand and live multimedia content. Access will require membership to PlayStation Home, which is free, and of course a PlayStation 3.
These efforts by Sony are likely in response to a new Microsoft’s Xbox 360 feature that lets groups view Netflix content together. Movies and TV shows will be delivered through Crackle, and will feature a simplified, custom interface meant for choosing movies and content through the gamepad. Crackle is ad-supported, and also lets users communicate with each other in real-time using voice and text chat, which further enhances the social viewing experience.
Popcorn and soda are not included, and are sold separately!
