This autumn, PS3 users will have access to a treasure trove of celluloid curated by experts - so that even non-experts can enjoy what might otherwise take a lifetime to discover. MUBI will offer more than 300 films at launch from directors from Audiard to Zeferelli; and they’re all going to be available to stream directly to your PS3. You’ll get to discover movies you never dreamed about, watch your choice of films whenever you like, and talk about the ones you love with your friends.
Thanks to Christina Warren, a fellow film-lover and Internet blogger extraordinaire, for the link. Read the whole press release at the MUBI Blog.
My take? It’s the same guys that gave us The Auteurs. If they polish the experience and make it special (as in, not another Netflix or Amazon Video service), it will be great. Looking forward to it.
