European Playstation Movie Store To Get 50+ New Films Each Week

Sony Intend To Add 50 Movies A Week To The European Video Store.

Sony Intend To Add 50 Movies A Week To The European Video Store.

Having had chance to browse around the Playstation Video Store this morning, we have to say we are very impressed. The pricing is more than reasonable and the range of content on offer is already staggering. It’s a flawless update from the folks at SCEE, and we have to congratulate them on that.

But with 2000 movies already on offer from the service, you’d be forgiven for thinking SCEE might let the service settle a while before receiving another update. That’s not going to be the case however, as European product director Mark Hardy assures us “the plan is to update the store on a weekly basis and add a minimum of 50 movies every time we update.”

While we’ve no doubt that number will eventually slow down a little, it’s really great to hear Sony’s committment to the service. We’ve already got 10-15 movies ear-marked for rent, and we’re sure that number is only going to increase. The problem is, there aren’t enough hours in the day.

    The only thing I'm a little disappointed with is that not all movies are available to rent.

    I was looking forward to sitting down tonight and watching a rental of the recent Star Trek movie in HD, with a view to buying the Blu-ray if I enjoyed it. Sadly, though, the film is currently only available to buy, and only available in standard definition.

    Being available in SD only could be dur to the fact that the service is new, but it should surely be available to rent. Perhaps there's some kind of agreement with the movie companies that prevents newly released titles beng available for rental on the store right away? That would be very peculiar, though, since you can rent the DVD or Blu-ray from LoveFilm now.

    Whatever the reason, it needs sorting.
