PlayStation Store to discontinue movie and TV purchases and rentals

Recommended Posts

Source - PlayStation Blog

Kind of bad news, the PlayStation Store is removing the options to buy and rent movies and tv shows. It's probably due to the many streaming platforms out there already and other places where you can buy/rent movies/tv shows. I know Xbox sells/rents out movies and tv shows, but I don't think they would drop it. 

This way their focus is on games too, which I think is better. We have more than enough options for our movies and tv needs. And any media you did buy on the PS4/PS5 up until August 31st 2021 will still be accessible in your account.

Am I correct in thinking Sony has seen losses in just about all areas besides their mobile and video game divisions since the PS3/4? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a move to further cut costs in areas that aren't doing it for them. Similarly, Valve removed video from Steam a few years back because nobody watched the bleeding things. No point taking up good server space when, err, Batallas Galacticas could be using it instead...?
