Microsoft's Xbox One may put gaming and entertainment on the same level and playing field, but the PS4 isn't far behind when it comes to the entertainment apps that it will be launching with.

In a recent post on the PlayStation Blog, Phil Rosenberg, senior vice president for Business Development of Sony Computer Entertainment America, revealed that there will be 13 digital entertainment apps coming to the console.

"PlayStation is dedicated to giving our fans the best entertainment options on our platforms and we're proud to share the following services will be available on PS4 starting November 15.

These 13 apps include Amazon Instant Video, multiplatform TV network Crackle, Japanese animation source Crunchyroll, streaming source EPIX, Hulu Plus, NBA Game Time, Netflix, NHL GameCenter LIVE, Redbox Instant by Verizon, VUDU, Indian TV channel source YuppTV, and Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited.

All of these apps can be found in the PS4's TV & Video section on the home screen or in the PlayStation Store. Sony has also hinted that there are definitely more to come, and updates will be released as the apps become confirmed.
