Crackle now streaming to Aussie 360s
Sony Pictures Entertainment has released a new video-streaming app for the Xbox 360 Down Under; however, the app is not available on Aussie PS3s.
The console wars are no longer fought over games alone but have also expanded onto the multimedia battlefield. As both Microsoft and Sony fight to outmanoeuvre each other, a Sony-owned video-streaming service has arrived on the Xbox 360 in Australia.
While the Crackle app is available on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 in the US, the service has not yet been dated for Sony's console Down Under.
The video-streaming program is free to use and is supported by advertisements. Once users download it from the Xbox 360 App Marketplace, Crackle can be controlled by either a controller or the Kinect.
GameSpot AU contacted Sony Computer Entertainment Australia regarding a release date for Crackle on Aussie PS3s, but the publisher was unable to comment.
While Crackle does host some original video content (short-form TV shows and independent films), the majority of its library comes from parent company Sony Pictures Entertainment.
