Details on the entertainment apps shipping day one on PS5
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
Day one? I read the OP and it says coming soon.
And if it is there day one maybe the OP should be updated. On the last page 6 or 7 people have commented that Prime is missing.
I'd be upset at no Hulu or Prime day 1 if I didn't have a Roku. I've been toying with the idea of getting HBO Max since it feels like we are running out of shows to watch, but now I'll have to wait for the PS5 to get it since nothing else in my house will run that app.
I think there is a good chance that it work on xsx as both consoles use the same os. Assuming you are getting one
Says "Additional streaming apps* coming to PS5 include Amazon Prime Video, MyCanal, Hulu, Peacock, and more." on the blog post but I guess it's not specific when.
So this gives a hint that there are other apps that were not listed...
Also I think alot more folks might start using their PS5 for media...even over their usual products. I'm guessing it is going to be so fast loading and browsing these apps....switching between apps, because of the PS5's tech. Some with newer TVs (eARC) with fast OSes might stick with their devices. (C9 for me). We'll see.
And for those worried about Dolby Atmos support for media, I'd comfortably would bet on that. Vision... I'm not sure.. there are alot of players and devices that don't support Vision. But hopefully, if Sony is going to pay for Atmos for support of their 4K BluRay Player..and BluRays and Apps.... they might as well pay for Vision.
Let's see between a smart tv, and Apple TV and my console its sparingly lol.
Ugh. No HBO means I may have to refrain from selling my PS4 pro.
I have a TCL tv so I can't get HBO Max anywhere but my PS4 or Chromecast. The Chromecast works fine but I much prefer the UI for Max on the console.

Yeah I got one friend that for some weird reason always uses the Xbox app for it. He claims its "easier to use" but it has the exact same layout as the TV apps
Glad the media is separate from the games. Kind of doubt I'll use it a lot since I have an Apple TV connected to the same tv.
Yeah I may use It more since I lost my tv remote but I may just stick to the Apple TV lol. There are so many options now
When PS4 launched most media apps were not on it yet, so yeah people need to know.
I think many are forgetting these apps need to be developed for the new OS/UI. Its not some copy & paste job.
I asked this earlier. I only use my TV native apps, haven't used the console apps since before I got this smart TV.
Here's your answer, even with a poll, haha
Do you access media apps on your console or Smart TV?
I game on a monitor so whenever I want to watch Netflix or HBO etc... I usually do it through my PS4. However I'm getting a new TV for next gen and it'll probably be a smart TV since it's almost impossible to buy a TV that isn't one anymore. So for those of you with a Smart TV do you usually...

Big same. I do miss how snappy it was to use before the Spotify integration was rolled out. *Sigh* those were good days.
OT: I fully expect the media player to be there but I don't put any of the big 3 above doing something so silly.
probably because this tweet wasn't about dolby or anything to do with the disc drive.
Some of the apps don't appear to be available day one, so it's important they say whatever will be. Seems like MS is just carrying over what is already in their One ecosystem so less need to announce anything (or maybe they've made an announcement too, I just haven't been on the lookout for it).
I have a roku stick on my aux tv and webOS on my main. I used the PS4 on the main for ESPN and HBO Max because the LG doesn't support either app. Roku stick doesn't support HBO. For ease of use purposes, I'm looking to have one box that can just lock down streaming apps - so was hoping PS5 would fill that role but I'm thinking I'll have to look into something like an Apple TV at this point.
That's strange because my cx has hbo max, wonder why they wouldn't have it on the c9 app store

Clearing up which media apps will be available on PS5 at launch [Updated]
Sony lists ten (including Apple TV) but some others may also be ready in time

EDIT: okay, so the list is longer than they made it seem. More weird communication from Sony regarding launch info... anyway, I'm glad that I won't feel as pressured to keep my PS4 setup for media purposes.
Ah, I skimmed right over the update at the top of the article and was like, where does it say Hulu and Crunchyroll are here at launch? Hahahaha. Now I see

So I don't because I've got a TV with all those apps.
But a friend of mine only has a monitor.
So uses their PS4 for streaming.
I guess that's the market for it.
