Games Thirst – Amazing Life
Sony’s announced a cloud-streaming service it promises will bring the best in live TV, excellent TV shows and great movies in an all-in-one package. Think of it as Sony’s own Netflix, so it will run on a wide variety of connected devices. There’ll be social elements to the service, and it’s supposed to learn from your viewing preferences.
According to Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House, who took the stage during the Sony CES 2014 keynote this morning, the enhanced video streaming service will carry live and on-demand content seamlessly across multiple devices — stop watching on the PlayStation 4, start watching again on an iPad or iPhone. It’s also platform agnostic, meaning you’ll be able to consumer content from any connected device.
Earlier in the very same Keynote, by the very same man: Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House, Sony announced PlayStation Now, a cloud-based game-streaming service based on Gaikai, that would allow consumers to play PS1, PS2 and PS3 games on their PS4 and any other connected device, including smartphones and tablets.
A big day at CES today for Sony and consumers and the industry on a whole.
