FOSTER CITY, CALIF. – Sony Entertainment Network has launched a new online store that enables gamers across multiple platforms, including PCs, Macs, Sony smartphones and tablets, as well as PlayStation users to browse and purchase games, movies, TV shows, and more from the web.
The new online store is available in Canada, United States, Mexico, and Brazil and offers millions of pieces of game-related content – including downloadable games, add-ons and themes, as well as movies and TV shows.
For PlayStation users, content purchased in the new online store from a PC (Mac and Windows) is added to My Downloads within the PlayStation Store. Users can then download games, movies and TV episodes directly onto their PlayStation 3, PlayStationVita, or PlayStation Portable systems. Users can also purchase movies and TV episodes via the online store from any PC and watch them via the Media Go application (Windows-based PC only), or on Sony Xperia smartphones and tablets.
The launch of the online store follows the recent release of the new PS Store for the PS3 system and is part of an on-going initiative of redesigning the various device user experiences. Sony Entertainment Network will continue to update the PlayStation Store and online store with new features that improve usability and convenience for finding, purchasing and accessing content. For example, users of the new online store can look forward to the future addition of advanced recommendation functionality and automatic remote download of purchased content, as well as mobile phone and tablet browsing.
The online store was first available in European territories in December 2012.
