A post on the PlayStation Network blog describes a new application called “Video Unlimited – preview.” The app will be available from the Media section of the PlayStation store. The app provides previews for over 40,000 items in the PSN library. It gives users an extremely flexible search tool, allowing searches by title, actor, director, category, studio, and more. When an item is selected, the app gives the usual synopsis in the middle of the screen, and suggestions for other viewing in a sidebar on the right side.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download the app later today. The blog post says the Video Unlimited – preview app will be available to all PSN members “in a few weeks.” A website for the new app was not working as of 10:30am EDT.
