PS3 owners already get the Beeb’s iPlayer via their console, and now ITV’s catch-up service is going to be landing on the games platform.

The ITV Player should be appearing on a PlayStation near you before the end of the year, although no specific date was given for the launch.

Apparently this is part of a push by ITV to gets its streaming service out there and watched in greater numbers.

Sony also announced the launch of a new movie streaming service called Mubi, which should be going live in October. It’s a little different in that it offers a library of cult classics and “visionary” films which might otherwise be overlooked.
