MUBI Is Coming to the PS3

Notebook

The MUBI team was very, very busy in Cannes. Right at the start, we actually became the MUBI team. Then, throughout the festival, we conducted the Cannes à la Flip contest. But even before naming the winners, we teamed up with Sony to make a major, major announcement. MUBI is coming to the PlayStation3. Millions of PS3 users with a PlayStation Network account will be able to download the free MUBI application from the PlayStation Store and start watching the best of foreign, independent and classic cinema — and it'll look fantastic, as the films have been custom-encoded for an optimal "PS3 Big Screen" experience.

The rollout will be slightly staggered, which is to say that different territories will see the launch on different dates. For info on when the service will be available to you, for details on what the experience will be like and how to make the most of it and for a pretty spiffy video, too, see our own Studio Blog and the PlayStation3 site.
