Playstation 4 FAQ – 3 Freebies and Apps Available at Launch

The past several months, Sony has built a reputation for providing updates on its PlayStation platform, providing us with details about the system itself as well as some of the games and features we can expect.  With the launch just around the corner (November 15th), Sony took the time to answer many of the questions people had regarding the Play Station 4 consol, the new DUALSHOCK 4 controllers, games and other features in an extensive FAQ blog post on the PlayStation Blog.

I took the time to read through the blog in detail and will be highlighting the details in a series of posts leading up to release date.

 

 

PS4- Launch Day Apps

In addition to the PlayStation apps that will come with your system for Music Unlimited and Video Limited, Sony announced that they will have the following 11 apps available for download on launch day.

 

  • Amazon Instant Video
  • Crackle
  • Crunchyroll
  • EPIX
  • Hulu Plus
  • NBA Game Time
  • Netflix
  • NHL GameCenter
  • Redbox Instant
  • VUDU
  • YuppTV

 

All of these apps are free to download, though most do require a separate subscription fee.  So while we lost some of the media center capabilities we saw with the PS3, such as accessing home media servers, we do have almost immediate access to some of the top entertainment apps out there.

PS4 – Freebies

In addition to the PlayStation 4 being the first consol to include the HDMI cable with the consol, we can expect a little extra when we pull our new PS4’s out of their boxes.

Each PlayStation 4 in the US and Canada will contain special promotional vouchers within the boxes which can be redeemed for a 30-day free PlayStation Plus membership trial, a 30-Day free Music Unlimited service trial and a $10 Sony Entertainment Network wallet credit for the PlayStation Store.

Unfortunately, the PlayStation Plus trial is only available to new subscribers, however, the $10 credit can be used towards anything in the PlayStation Store, including PS4 titles.

So tell us, what do you think you’ll be using your $10 credit for?
