Lightbox launches on PlayStation 4 – Gameguide

Just in time for Christmas (and on the first day of the school holidays for my younger kids), online entertainment service Lightbox today launched on PlayStation 4 consoles. This is the first time Lightbox has been made available on a games console.

Lightbox CEO Kym Niblock says “This new PlayStation partnership marks another step towards giving customers what they want: great, ad-free TV, where and when they want it”.

“Last month Lightbox announced availability on Smart TVs and selected Android devices. Today, we’re pleased to expand this to include the highest-selling next generation gaming console in New Zealand – the PlayStation 4.”

Of the new partnership, Michael Ephraim, Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment ANZ says, “We know gamers enjoy their content, so partnering with Lightbox is a logical choice. This exclusive console launch makes PlayStation 4 the first games device in the New Zealand market to offer owners thousands of hours of great TV content through the app”.

PlayStation 4 users can sign up for Lightbox on their desktop or laptop, then log in to the Lightbox app on their console. Lightbox’s PlayStation 3 app will be available early next year.
