I would like to see full integration of Bitcoin into Sony televisions, linking your phone with a APP to control your television as a remote and also to watch
streaming movies via your television and paying with your phone's built in APP. They should partner up with Streamium and get some pay-per-view
content going via the built-in television app. Now that will be nice!

The entertainment blockchain sounds frightening. We might have to increase blocksize if they are going to add 2 hour films to the blockchain.

I would imagine that Sony's interest in BTC has to do with security. Sony has had some devastating data breaches and have become more encryption mined over time. Their Playstation 4 has come under attack by fearful governments due to it's well encrypted security. Bitcoin would go further in securing their users by allowing payments that do not involve storing your banking/credit information. Holding your information is a huge liability for Sony and this gets them out of that.

This is a smart move by Sony. Sony has been struggling in recent years in the smartphone industry against Samsung and iPhone.
Accepting bitcoin and integrating a bitcoin payment app into their smartphone software would be a step forward into the future of online and smartphone payments.
I'm a Sony smartphone user as well as a PS4 user, can't wait to start using bitcoin to pay for my apps and games. Great move Sony!

Sony has good smartphones with the last generation (Z-series), if Sony integrate bitcoin, this will really change the market price.

The entertainment blockchain sounds frightening. We might have to increase blocksize if they are going to add 2 hour films to the blockchain. What on earth are you talking about? Blocks are used for recording transactions, not for carrying media content. Back on topic, the challenge category is "Useful solutions related to film and music industries using Blockchain." So it doesn't necessarily involve bitcoin. We shouldn't conflate "bitcoin" and "blockchain".

Thanks Sony;) I don't think that Play Store (aka Google Play) will accept bitcoin because they have their own wallet called Google Wallet.

If Sony brings Bitcoin to the PlayStation store to buy games with that would be amazing because Bitcoin will get a lot more exposure worldwide.

Hope they go full hog and bring it more to the masses.

Yes, Google Play have its own wallet, but this wallet can be filled with Dollars, Euros, Rubles, Yuans, Krona, Guaranis, Pesos,Bolivars, ... Why it couldn't accept bitcoins, litecoins and any other crypto coin?
