Anxious PlayStation gamers slam free catalogue as ‘false advertisement’
With the recent launch of Sony Pictures Core on PlayStation consoles, PlayStation Plus, premium tier customers were able to access the Sony Pictures Core library, which includes around 100 films that are now available to stream. Certain subscribers are now complaining about this new feature and declaring it “false advertising.”
Sony Pictures Core catalog: The Sony Pictures Core catalog is an additional feature that was made available to premium-tier PlayStation Plus subscribers in addition to the introduction of cloud-based streaming. Anyone is able to sign up for Sony Pictures Core for free. However, it’s basically a storefront. You can purchase and rent films; however, when you’re a Premium PS Plus subscriber, you’ll have access immediately to a collection of more than 100 movies to enjoy, which periodically update. A user wasn’t able to determine the exact titles they’ll receive but slammed the lineup for being “garbage” and “false advertising.”
Reddit User ShadoHazard posted, “Sony Pictures Core is just a sham advertisement. It’s been a long time trying to find out the issues with being able to log in to the application. It was resolved at the last minute, and I finally had the ability to stream the films I upgraded to PS+. […] Literally, all films in the background, as well as marketing, aren’t available? The only movies we can get are B-list movies. I’ve just paid for high-end … to watch trash? I was excited about seeing the Spider-Verse series once I resolved my problem. Then I can finally watch it, but I’m not even sure what the concept of”
“It is a blatant lie about advertising their latest streaming service’ that is included in PS+ premium,’ and the background includes a plethora of triple-A films. It’s probably a good idea to study the fine print. It’s a prank,” the group continued. The truth is the fact that Sony Pictures Core displays Spider-Man across The Spider-Verse, 65, as well as Ghostbusters Afterlife in the majority of its advertisements. They don’t say they’re on the PS Plus catalog, though. Instead, it describes the lineup as comprising “up to 100 movies” and names Kingglaive, Looper: Final Fantasy XV, Elysium, as well as Resident Evil Damnation as an example based on the region you’re in.
Sony did not release an exhaustive list of titles, and it’s easy to understand why some thought that certain films would be available on the platform. TrueTrophies have since put together the list, and I’m happy to admit that the UK selections are much better than the US lineup. The main lesson to take away from this is to research the options before buying or upgrading.
