Sony today unveiled a new online store in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil that enables PlayStationNetwork and Sony Entertainment Network users to discover and purchase games, movies, TV shows, and more from the web.
The store makes shopping more convenient for owners of the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, or PlayStation Portable especially. It features product pages that offer an easy way to browse the store's integrated catalog, which 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, PlayStation Vita, 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. Sony Entertainment Network will continue to update the PlayStation Store. For example, users of the new online store can look forward to the future addition of 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. Today, the online store expands to the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. The new online store can be accessed at https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com.
The company also recently announced that Sony Entertainment Network account holders can now add funds to their wallets via PayPal. The wallet can be used to purchase games, movies and TV episodes from the PS Store and more.
