The PlayStation 4 will launch next week with a modest line-up of TV entertainment apps. 13 apps will be available at launch, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and Sony’s Unlimited services.

TV apps on PlayStation 4 at launch

The PlayStation launches in the US next Friday on November 15th. When you turn on your brand-new PS4 for the first time you can expect a launch-day software update that will add DVD and Blu-ray support. Besides that the PS4 will also come with 13 TV apps.

The list is not very extensive right now. Most of the popular services are included, and more will surely follow later. The only obvious omission is YouTube.
