Sony said it was coming, and come it has. Just in time for expatriated
Americans basking in the glory of being paid in pounds to enjoy over
"Thanksgiving," Sony has flipped the switch on its Qriocity on-demand
movie service. The UK launch marks the European debut of the service
(we're also hearing that it's like 'across Europe'), offering
"hundreds" of pay-per-view streaming flicks to those with a network-
enabled BRAVIA TV, Blu-ray player or Blu-ray home theater system.
We're told that the library consists of material from Fox Home
Entertainment, Lionsgate, MGM, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Home
Entertainment, Starz Digital Media, The Walt Disney Company, NBC
Universal and Warner Bros., with both new releases and heralded
classics up for grabs. Rental prices for SD content start from £
2.49 for library content and £3.49 for new releases, while HD
content start respectively from £3.49 and £4.49. Not
exactly free, but it's a small price to pay to keep that keister
planted on Turkey Day.
