Quickflix partners with Sony

Starting later this year, anyone with a net-connected Playstation 3 will have access to Quickflix online movie-streaming service.

The deal was announced today, and will see consumers able to watch an ever-changing catalogue of titles with no limit, and adds on to Quickflix's DVD and Blu-Ray rental-by-mail service.

Chris Taylor, Quickflix CEO, said: "Having entered a streaming agreement for Sony Bravia in July we’re very excited to now extend the partnership to PlayStation via its game console platform."

"Over 1.3 million Australian consumers who own an internet connectable PlayStation 3 will have access to Quickflix’s on demand movie streaming service. This is a significant moment in the evolution of IPTV delivered entertainment in Australia and a major development for our company."

In keeping with the demonstrated market demand for collaborative ventures, Quickflix has stated that integrating its service with other connected devices is vital to its business strategy.

Michael Ephraim, managing director of Sony Australia, said: "This exciting agreement with Quickflix will further enhance PS3’s already strong entertainment on demand credentials across TV, games, music and now, an even larger range of movie options."

"If you love games, and your family loves movies, quite simply there is no better choice of device for your home than PlayStation 3, which is also one of the most highly awarded Blu-Ray players."
