The Sony Entertainment Network debuted on Friday in North America. Available to European territories since December, the new content hub has expanded to Canada, Mexico, Brazil and the U.S. The network collates all of Sony’s media offerings into a single online storefront, featuring full PS3 games, downloadable games, music, movies, TV shows, avatars, add-ons, season passes, special deals and more.

“Between the PlayStation division, Sony Pictures, and the record labels the company owns, Sony has a massive amount of entertainment content to offer its fans, but prior to SEN, the company had no real unified strategy for delivering this content to prospective buyers,” reports Digital Trends. This initiative changes that.

“For PlayStation users, content purchased in the new online store from a PC (Mac and Windows) is added to My Downloads within the PlayStation Store,” notes the article. “Users can then download games, movies and TV episodes directly onto their PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, or PlayStation Portable systems. Users can also purchase movies and TV episodes via the online store from any PC and watch them via the Media Go application (Windows-based PC only), or on Sony Xperia smartphones and tablets.”

“Sony Entertainment Network will continue to update the PlayStation Store and online store with new features that improve usability and convenience for finding, purchasing and accessing content,” explains Sony’s announcement. “For example, users of the new online store can look forward to the future addition of advanced recommendation functionality and automatic remote download of purchased content, as well as mobile phone and tablet browsing.”

The Sony Entertainment Network also enables users to transfer content between Sony products such as the PlayStation 3, PS Vita, PlayStation Portable, smartphones, Bravia HDTVs and PCs.
