Sony revamps PlayStation Store to link games, movies; readies common storefront across devices
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Sony Corp. is revamping its PlayStation Store as it prepares a common storefront across devices from its game console to its Web-connected TVs, Blu-ray players and phones.
The rollout began for PlayStation 3 users in Europe on Wednesday and will continue in the U.S., Canada, Brazil and Mexico next Tuesday.
The store puts related game and movie franchises together on one page. That will allow fans of video games like “Resident Evil” or “Lego Harry Potter” to buy or rent movies from the same series more easily. Alphabetic searches are also easier with a game controller now than before.
Sony’s general manager of global digital video and music services, Michael Aragon, says Sony plans to roll out similar storefronts on TVs and other devices in the coming months.
