TheDarkKratos Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Sony has announced Sony Pictures Core, a new video streaming service that offers free movie streaming to PS Plus Premium subscribers on PS4 and PS5 consoles. The new service is part of Sony recent revamp of its PlayStation Plus subscription service. PS Plus Premium subscribers will have access to a rotating catalog of up to 100 movies to stream for free, with a selection already available that includes titles like Looper and Resident Evil Damnation.

Juzota Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Yeah, I downloaded this last night. The catalog of movies for PS+ premium users didn't blew me away, but I guess there's something to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordguwa Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 not enough to keep me hooked on premium. 3 movies at best for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarWolf3000 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 They also plan to add a selection of animes from Crunchyroll. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-E-U-S-X Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Sony has so much up its sleeve that it could be put into subscription services if it made economic sense and was necessary. Games, Films, Shows, Music, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumperklever Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Should be said that I dont have the same selection here in the Netherlands. The amount is a lot lower. Most, if not all, movies are already quite a few years old and are on Netflix already. Still it's a nice "bonus". (Here hoping that this bonus wasnt one of the arguments to justify the PS+ price hike) Edited October 7, 2023 by Bumperklever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked their movie selections. And most of them I already have access to. Why would anyone who doesn't already have a Premium subscription bother? They have Jack & Shit. There's an old saying - "Jump on the Band Wagon". Sony. There are already IMHO enough streaming services.

They have Jack & Shit. 100% with you on it. If I wanted Netflix I'd would have payed for it. The fact is plan to see. It's a gateway to get us to see if a movie is free. See it not and hope we pay for it. That it. And the fact that I or anyone that doesn't want it. Has to have a price increase do to them adding juck we don't it BS. And ya there going to do the same with Crunchyroll. You can access to last 2 year+ that ever pirate site has already copied by now. But the new day of stuff will be locked to the pay service. Which will work on the lesser minded of is. And that's the most maddening thing. Sucker will fall into this obvious trap.

sepheroithisgod Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 The idea is good, but the actual movies you get with the service are pretty underwhelming. If they gave you a full subscription, then it would actually be a good addition. Instead it just kind of feels like filler to justify a price increase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon you're right to some degree. 28 minutes ago, Zid960 said: If I wanted Netflix I'd would have payed for it. Key point here. Don't forget the SONY glasses.

I would rather a peanut butter and jelly sandwich than their new streaming service. Edited October 7, 2023 by TheDarkKratos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman_Spinksy1 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 100 films that are on any other streaming service you most likely already have and anything you do want you have to buy or rent LOL waste of the storage space. Plus I have a UK account (originally from the UK) my PS Store is UK but then this is Swedish lmao. But they refuse to let me change the country I live in to Sweden.

Mokujin Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Saw Mystic’s video and the selection for the US is so much better than the UK. It’s a very poor selection in the UK but I’m all for more features for + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burritoprime Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'm already subscribed to 3 or 4 streaming services so it won't make any difference, I only like to use my console for gaming, never liked watching stuff in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDevil757 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I'm in the UK. I looked at the list, LOL and then deleted that crap. What an awful list of movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Way overpriced. 20 to rent some movies is just laughable. I wouldn't have anyway but still hilarious. Deleted app after a quick browse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the1andonly654 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 It adds some additional value to the service, sure, despite the movie selection being not that great. But personally I don't buy a gaming subscription to get movies on it and I'd much rather have the additional value in games. I kinda wonder if the app is at least good. A while back they were testing a video streaming service for Plus subscribers in my country and the app itself definitely didn't impress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Chipotle Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Its a great add, its good to have some movies that some services dont have, but as with any type of sony subscription, i hope they keep adding new content to keep the services alive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have anyway but still hilarious. Deleted app after a quick browse. That's more or less the standard for the most recent movies. After a few months they drop down to $5 or so but if you go to Apple TV for something very recent like for example Barbie then you will have to pay $20 to rent. The prices on Core looked like industry standards to me. I won't use it to rent movies because you can't see details like languages or subtitles before renting on Core while you can on Apple TV. Might use it for a free movie to two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin_Raleigh Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 So is this why Sony increased the price of Plus? If so, then this is going to go over like a fart in church. 💩 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
