Services[edit]
Video Unlimited[edit]
Video Unlimited allowed users to purchase or rent videos. Purchases and rentals could be made online through the Sony Entertainment Network store, through the PlayStation Store on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita, through the Video Unlimited store on many Sony Blu-ray disc players and Bravia TVs or via an Xperia smartphone and tablet app.[6] The services provided customers with an easy and accessible way to watch and discover new movies and TV. Through the wide range of options that Video Unlimited has, a user could choose from new movies, classic movies or to keep up with a TV series. The use of logging in enabled the customer to easily choose and watch videos from anywhere, on devices that are compatible with Video Unlimited.[7] Video Unlimited was later replaced by PlayStation Video.
Music Unlimited[edit]
Music Unlimited was a cloud-based music service. According to Sony, the music catalog contained 25 million songs and was available in 19 countries.[8][9] There were two subscription levels: Access, which allowed for listening to all available music on Mac, PC, PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 3; and Premium, which added availability for mobile devices and Walkman players as well as Blu-ray players and Bravia TVs. Like any normal music service, Music Unlimited allowed users to create playlists, find new songs and songs that are recommended to them through their own taste of music. A special feature that made the Music Unlimited stand out was the ability to listen to music on a PlayStation 4 whilst playing a game. The service was replaced in 2015 by PlayStation Music with Spotify.
