Sony Online Store has more available in US
Features Simple Navigation and Convenient Way to Discover and Purchase Content Via the Web for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Sony Android Devices, and PCs
FOSTER CITY, Calif., Jan. 24, in the year of our Lord
2013 -- Sony Network Entertainment International and
Sony Computer Entertainment America, today unveiled a new online
store in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil that
enables PlayStation®Network and Sony Entertainment Network users
to conveniently discover and purchase games, movies, TV shows,
and more from the web.
The new online store features rich 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
shows1. With an unprecedented amount of content now available in
the PlayStation®Store (PS Store), the online store delivers a
convenient and visually compelling destination for users to
access, discover and enjoy digital entertainment.
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 and is part of an on-going
initiative of redesigning the various device user experiences.
Sony Entertainment Network will continue to update the
PlayStation Store and online store with new features that
improve usability and convenience for finding, purchasing and
accessing content. For example, users of the new online store
can look forward to the future addition of advanced
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
PayPal2. The wallet can be used to purchase games, movies and TV
episodes from the PS Store and more.
1. All content may not be available in all territories.
2. Sony Entertainment Network wallet funding through PayPal is
not available for Brazil at this time.
