Sony Video Unlimited - YouTube

Starting today, finding the right movie or TV show on the PlayStation Network is easier and more fun than ever before.
We’re unveiling a whole new way to explore the library of more than 40,000 movies and TV episodes… discover everything from the latest blockbusters and popular sitcoms, to old classics and the next big TV series – it’s simple, fun, and intuitive.
Our new “Video Unlimited – preview” application, which can be downloaded later today if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, makes it easier and more visual to browse, discover, and search for movies and TV shows from your favorite actors, directors, and genres. While mirroring content found on the existing video section of the PlayStation Store, the new preview application gives you a fresh experience by providing endless related search results via a whole new way to find content. Check out the video to see how this all works and why we’re so excited about it.

PlayStation Plus subscribers can download the “Video Unlimited – preview” later today. It’s easy, just head toward the Media section in the PlayStation Store, find and download the “Video Unlimited – preview” application. After exiting the PlayStation Store, select the Video icon of the XMB (XrossMediaBar) and you will see the Video Unlimited preview icon. Select “Video Unlimited – preview” and discover a completely new way to access and discover movies and TV shows on your PS3. For those who aren’t PlayStation Plus subscribers, the application will be available to all in just a few weeks.
We promise this is going to be a great user experience that will change the way you enjoy video content on your PS3!

Well, it's nice and probably part of the redesign of the XMB we see coming by the end of year, but prices are still far too steep.

Sony, please call me when HD rentals are $4 and SD rentals $2 at most, which would already be double what one would pay at a redbox.

Since I have PS+ I downloaded and tried the free preview last night.

Honestly it was pretty disappointing and not something that I will not be signing up for or using in the future.
