The reactions for this from some of the people here and the loony XBots on twitter are sure something.
Reminder of the reactions to the news that PS4Pro won't include the ability to play 4k "Movies".

Yep. more than 100 pages of meltdowns and outrage for a missing feature that has nothing to do with gaming.
Compare this to a rumor that PS+ would have an added benefit of movies sub at no extra charge and that will not take focus from games and suddenly some say it's a shade of "TV TV TV" from XBox One era.
We see what you are trying to do, you are not fooling anyone.

They just made a big deal with Disney so they should try to get that content on the video service . Make the service only available on the PlayStation consoles so Disney doesn’t care.
If Sony was smart they would combine this with PlayStation plus and PSnow into a single sub say 15 dollars a month(US dollars).

I don't watch anime but it would be alright if they gave us some of their original content.
I had no idea they have all this content to use. They are a major player in TV.

Sony has some of the best watched tv shows. A lot of people don’t know they make movies and tv shows for Netflix, Prime, Apple Tv+, Starz and Disney+. Even Love, Dead & Robots was created by Sony Imageworks.

I buy games consoles to play games, not for a video pass. Game pass makes sense because it has, you know, actual games in it.
Each to their own but this makes no sense to me.

I Google and found those links, I went threw a few pages and was surprised at how much they are associated with and how much content they make for others.
I watch some of these daily and never k ew.

That’s it? That isn’t a lot tbh.It's an added benefit with no extra cost attached to your PS+ Subscription. They said it's a separate app for PS4/PS5 with content rotating being added every 3 months. They're using Poland as a test pool to see if it's viable to send out to everybody else.
Here's the IGN article with the list

Same here. I have Netflix & Prime already and use both very lightly. Have no interest in yet another service and on my console

Where some people seem confused is thinking this is some kind of an OS or PS+ integrated feature, turning your PlayStation into GAMES AND TV TV TV box.
It doesn't feel that way at all. While you can access it from the PS+ menu, it's not in your face. It's an App, another one in your Media apps menu, and that's it.
Just like the Netflix App everyone got pre-installed on PS5, I don't recall anyone complaining about that. Unlike Netflix here you don't have to pay extra if you're on PS+. I don't have a problem with that.

As a free add on its basically in the "meh" category but I voted YES bc as long as it doesn't cost more then why not?
As a competitor to Game Pass its laughable and isn't going to bring in any new PS+ subs. Even people like me who like to collect physical 4k UHD movies aren't going to care about this. It's an added perk tho so I guess ok.

No includes with PS+ for free is bad. Nothing is free, this has an internal pricetag with a PS+ budget allocation tied to it. Budget that could‘ve gone towards a potentially extra game each month or another gaming related bonus.
But we get movies instead. No idea how anyone can be hyped for this delusional act of kindness.

This has no price tag. These movies and shows are owned by Sony Pictures. It costs nothing for Sony to add these as an added value to PS+.
This will only cost them if these movies and tv shows are exclusive to PS+. But no, they have already ran their course in theaters. Many streaming services have already paid for its production. Sony have already profited from these contents.
This is an added benefit that costs Sony $0.

What would this realistically be worth as an add on? I can't see much.
Sony just signed an 18 month exclusivity deal with Netflix putting their movies there first (instead of Starz). Anyone who is interested in Sony movies will sub to Netflix if they aren't already.
This feels like a very limited free perk, not something most people would pay for or convert over to PS+ for.
All in all it's a good incentive for Sony to sell ps plus
Ik in for it since we've already ben paying money for online now for years.just more and more incentives now to have plus.i guess sony doesnt see much value in having their movies on other platforms and would rather use it to drive more ps plus sales .good move.althligh annoying for any other movie watcher since more and more stupid services are split now

Yes ps plus should be the main component and include ps now ps video and all tht .then they will see massive gain.

Sony just signed an exclusive deal with Netflix to put Sony movies there first, so apparently they do see a value in having their movies on the largest streaming service with 200+ million subs.
What isn't clear is how Video Pass will add much value to GAMERS. It isn't going to sell many more PS+ subs.

Hmm well I am not super interested in this, but if it is included in PS+ then it is a nice addition and might have some movies that I can't see anywhere else.
The only problem I have is that my Playstation 5 has absolutely awful coil whine in menus/home screen and that probably makes movies hard to watch.

Funimation and Crunchyroll would be amazing. The PS community can experience anime greats such as
My Girlfriend is Shob*tch
Or
I Want You To Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear

Yeah, this doesn't really do a whole lot for me personally, but I'm happy for those that can and would take advantage. I mean a "free" additional perk to the service doesn't hurt anybody.
I just don't really care for another streaming platform, I mean, between Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and HBO Max, I'm good.

Eh, I already have enough streaming services to fill my quota of TV and movies. I barely watch anything as it is. I'd rather them focus most attention on gaming but I realize Sony as a whole is most likely looking to use Playstation to expand all of their entertainment services. Good for them, meh for me.
