They had a pretty good full services streaming offer earlier, right? Odd that they abandoned it. As I recall it was before Youtube TV and it was better than most of the other offerings?

WTF?

Didn't PlayStation just terminate their movie rental marketplace a couple of years ago, and now they're launching a new one?

Which are apparently just repackaged old services.

Bravia Core blows away all other streaming services in terms of video and audio quality.

Streams play at about 80 Mbps, which is roughly four times higher than what you're getting on Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc. It looks incredible if you've got a good TV.

Meanwhile the highly compressed streams on all these other services really look no better than a standard 1080p Blu-Ray.

Sounds like all can do with this is rent or buy Sony produced movies. Easy pass for me.

Yes, this way you can buy all those titles again. But on PS5 this time! It's 1 better than 4!

I’m pretty sure this is just Bravia core for people that don’t own a Sony tv.
