Crackle Launches on Xbox Live

Crackle has launched, today, on Xbox Live.

Crackle, Inc., Sony Pictures Entertainment’s multi-platform video entertainment network, has launched today on the Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network as a free full-length Hollywood movie and TV app, it was announced by the company. Crackle’s partnership with the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft marks another exciting expansion for the brand, broadening its slate of distribution partners for its users. The Crackle app is now available in the Xbox LIVE® marketplace in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia.*
“Crackle is the single best multi-platform source of free, ad-supported Hollywood films and television series,” said Phil Lynch, VP Digital Networks and Games at Sony Pictures Television. “By our continued emphasis on cross-platform distribution, we are bringing an unparalleled viewing experience directly to Crackle’s target demographic of 18-34 males through their internet-enabled devices. We are thrilled to be a part of Xbox LIVE’s entertainment expansion.”

“Our partnership with Crackle marks a significant milestone in our vision to bring you all the film and TV entertainment you want, shared with the people you care about, made easy,” said Pete Thompson, General Manager, Xbox LIVE. “By bringing Crackle to the Xbox LIVE service and adding the magic of Kinect, we are transforming the way consumers experience entertainment forever.”

By partnering with Xbox, and through the magic of Kinect for Xbox 360, Crackle offers consumers yet another way to enjoy free, ad supported full-length Hollywood movies and TV series. Adding the Kinect experience to Crackle’s content allows consumers to interact with their favorite Crackle movies and TV shows in a more personal, seamless and effortless way. The voice- and motion-activated controls with Kinect and voice search with Bing on Xbox allow Crackle viewers to quickly find the content they want. For example, users are able to search for a movie on Xbox LIVE by stating, “Xbox, Bing: THE INTERNATIONAL,” or use verbal commands to play a movie on Xbox LIVE by stating, “Play DONNIE BRASCO,” in this breakthrough new way to find and watch their favorite movies.
