\"\"If you are looking to cut the cord to your cable or satellite provider, you have an ever-increasing number of options to fill that sudden void. There’s Hulu, Netflix and the recent Redbox Instant<\/a>, and that’s just a few of the big players. And now there’s another option. Sony, still a giant in the entertainment business despite lagging profits<\/a>, has launched its Entertainment Network in the\u00a0United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.<\/p>\n

Sony has previously made some of its content available via its Crackle service, which can be accessed both online and through a mobile app. However, that service has a pretty limited amount of material, especially when compared to the new Sony Entertainment Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s not just movies and TV shows here, but games as well. Movies are available for both rental and purchase and there are even some bonuses — Paranormal Activity 4, for instance, is available for purchase (for $12.99) even though it is not yet out on DVD or Blu-Ray.<\/p>\n

Clicking a movie or TV show displays a star rating, a list of actors and a brief plot synopsis. Games give similar information, and in many cases are available at a discounted price. Little Big Planet Karting, as an example, is regularly sold for $19.99, but priced here for $10. There are also demos and betas to try out.<\/p>\n

Obviously all available material is from Sony — there aren’t currently any partnerships with other studios — however, Sony has a massive catalog, so there’s definitely no shortage of choices here.<\/p>\n
