Sony is playing the internet TV content game now - stuff their TV's full of content - no matter what the quality - to compete for that internet tv pie. of course they have their own 4K content!!!
Sony's “Partner Services” within the newly named Sony Entertainment Network includes your standard premium Apps providers such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, NPR, Pandora, Amazon Video on Demand, Wired, Yahoo! Finance, News and Weather, facebook, twitter, Slacker, Picasa, Flickr and Sony's own movie and video service which was called Qriocity and is now called Sony Music Unlimited and Sony Video Unlimited. These two offer pretty much the same services – movies and music that you would find in the other premium services partners listed above. The reason for them is a bit of a mystery. I suppose Sony feels that they can get a little better content than others – which may be true in the movie category but my real thought is that they are just trying to get a bigger piece of the Internet TV pie that purchasers of their TVs will utilize. The company has dropped the Bravia Internet Video moniker in favor of Sony Entertainment Network. Here's a run-down of our recent experience with it and how it works: We had some frustration when accessing the Apps.

The library doesn’t appear to be all that captivating, aside from the fact that… well, it’s all 4K content which is currently still in short demand. Adding the library to Sony’s burgeoning 4K catalog is nice, but it’s not exactly game-changing. Sony’s $700 4K Ultra HD Media Player certainly already offers a much more recognizable selection of films. Either way, Sony is currently at the top of the Ultra HD food chain. And the fact that you’ll need a Sony 4K TV to take advantage of all this stuff makes for a more compelling argument to opt for a Sony UHD set. However, Sony’s current reign in the 4K realm is far from infallible. Netflix already has UHD offerings available for streaming, and Amazon could begin piping its own 4K content as early as next month. And those are just the obvious competitors; while details are still under wraps, Digital Trends has been informed that there are, in fact, other popular streaming services building out 4K content set to launch in the near future.
