Crackle Expands Streaming Content →

Titles are refreshed frequently featuring approximately 20 new titles per month from Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures, Screen Gems and Sony Pictures Classics. Crackle on PlayStation 3 and Google TV is available to audiences in the U.S. and Canada. Crackle on Roku, Sony’s BRAVIA, Streaming Player and Blu-ray devices is available in the U.S. only.

While HD only goes up to 480p on a portion of the relatively small catalog (309 full-length films and 52 TV shows with full episodes), the service is free (ad-supported) and only a beginning.

My real hope, though, is that no content is pulled from other services (especially Netflix or Hulu).

Splintering availability of streaming content may give distributors more power, but cordoning off their content will give it fewer eyes.
