Here’s a small tour of Video Unlimited, an app that mirrors everything on the PlayStation video store, but laid out and organized in a very user friendly way. It will be available to PlayStation Plus users today, followed by everyone else within the next few weeks (at least stateside; not sure about other territories).
Personally, I think this is an awesome way of browsing for movies, as you can search by actor/actress, subject, or title (even directors and genres in general). Something like this, I think, would also be great for Netflix on PS3 (since it is possible on the website, but only by title in the app). Even the history could come in handy. Still, I’m not one for purchasing movies and I rarely ever rent them. In either case, this looks great and very intuitive.

Wow, the history feature is really slick. Can’t wait to try this out. Search is pretty cool too.
Hope they redesign the game side with this interface later.

Unfortunately another feature that won’t make it my way ;p
But it really does look very user friendly. It reminds me of ipod/itunes.

Yea if only we got to rent a movie a week, any choice. Then that would be nice, and maybe more people would join PSN+

Questions:
- Is this limited to North America? is it region locked?
- I’ve noticed that the TV show he chosen doesn’t have a price tag, does this mean that you can watch TV shows from major networks for free? (highly unlikely)
The problem is that many American networks websites are limited to North America, so other users world wide can’t watch their shows, which is a bummer!
