Sony has recently signed a deal with NBC Universal in order to get a head in the movies watching experiences for the users in the United States. With this signed deal, PS3 will be covering its lacking feature of movie watching.
Previously Microsoft’s Xbox 360 had an edge over PS3 as it ruled the movie market in the UK. Presently, Xbox 360 facilitates its users to download content on it provided by Warner, Universal and Paramount. Now with this move, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 might be left behind in the race of getting a head of each other.
It is also speculated regarding the Xbox series that it might not be able to compete Sony PS3. Reason there being, Microsoft will not be able to get the movie stuff from one of the leading movie studio which is Sony itself. The stuff from Sony is missing currently on Microsoft’s Xbox 360.
NBC Universal is the major studio that has already been working with Sony by allowing the PS3 users to download content on the PS3. This deal means that Sony PS3 users will be able to store and enjoy almost 4,500 TV episodes and 1,300 movies. The content that will be added by taking in Universal will include famous TV shows The Office and Battlestar Galactica, and movies like Milk and Role Models.
The deal between NBC Universal and Sony is yet to be announced. It is hoped that Microsoft too will come up with something new to compete with Sony.
