Quickflix coming to Aussie PlayStations
Sony partners up with Quickflix to launch a new movie-streaming service for the PlayStation 3.
In the ongoing battle to expand console capabilities beyond just playing games, yesterday Microsoft launched two new services for the Xbox 360 that allow owners to stream DailyMotion and ABC iView content directly to their devices. Today Sony fired back, announcing that from tomorrow, Aussie PlayStation 3 owners will be able to watch full movies through their consoles as part of a partnership with online rental and streaming service, Quickflix. An introductory price of $4.99 will be offered to PS3 owners for the first three months, after which it will return to its normal $14.99 monthly fee.
Located under the "Video" tab of the PlayStation 3's Cross-Media Bar (XMB) menu--the same location as Sony's own MUBI independent film-streaming service--once subscribed, the Quickflix application will allow users to view an unlimited number of movies on demand. Like other PS3 applications, you'll need to download Quickflix from the PlayStation Network Store before it appears on your XMB.
To browse the range of movies available on Quickflix, check out its official website.
