Sony reveals Mubi timing, price plan

Sony has told Eurogamer the Mubi film-streaming service will arrive on PS3 this autumn.

There will be 300 to 500 films available at launch, and more added weekly.

Some will be free, but others require buying. This can be done per film or as part of an all-you-can-watch subscription.

"Exact pricing hasn't been nailed down," a spokesperson told us.

Mubi, previously The Autuers, is a platform for film enthusiasts to watch and talk about high calibre content; expect Hitchcock, not Bruckheimer.

The PS3 Mubi deal was announced earlier this morning. Mubi, like VidZone, will be accessible via a downloadable app that installs to the XMB menu.
