The library of video content you can rent and buy from the PlayStation Store continues to expand. In order to make it as easy as possible to find what you’re looking for, Sony is releasing a new PS3 app called “Video Unlimited – preview” which should, if nothing else, allow you to discover related content more easily.
As the video above demonstrates, opening the app lays out new release content along with what’s on sale. Selecting an individual show or movie allows you to see a description and the pricing for SD and HD versions of it, as well as find related content. What seems to be handy about the related content function is that it isn’t all lumped together — each show and movie has been tagged with specific things (like history, blockbuster, locations that are central to the movie, actors) and allows you to find other content that has that element in common.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will get first access to the app beginning today; as soon as the weekly PlayStation Store update goes live this afternoon, Plus members will find it on PSN for download from the Media & Apps section. (It will then be accessible from the Video section of the XMB.) Non-Plus members will have to wait “a few weeks” before getting access.
