Sony to Offer 4K Movie Downloads This Fall

Sony will begin offering 4K movies for download via its Video Unlimited service in the early fall, company executives announced Wednesday. The movies will be from Sony Pictures, as well as other independent production houses.

At a lunch with members of the press, Phil Molyneux, Sony's chief operating officer, announced the company would launch Video Unlimited 4K in early fall. Previously, 4K TV owners could only get native 4K content from Sony's 4K media server, which is delivered to users with the content pre-loaded. Any content updates are done manually through a hard-wire connection.
