Sony Video Unlimited no HD playback for Xperia Z2

[aaronf938]

Hello Sony,

When will Sony Xperia Z2 owners be able to watch purchased movies through Sony Video Unlimited in HD on their devices?? Currently HD movies purchased will only play in HD on the Playstation console and SD on mobile devices, I think given that the Xperia Z2 can support huge external storage card sizes that we should be able to be given the HD option, as well as that we have a Full HD screen display.

As I understand this, this is a limitation in the service, not a technical issue. Usually, content owners do not allow HD playback to mobile devices, even if HD is available from the same service for viewing in your living room.

That is a shame since HD movies bought from the Sony Video Unlimited store would look so nice on the Sony Xperia Z2 Full HD screen as oppose to paying for movies just to have a SD version available for mobile. Hope they are able to provide the HD content for Xperia Mobiles/tablets as I probably like most other Sony fans purchase content from the Sony ecosystem, I seen quite a lot of movies in Google Play that give the option to purchase HD version.
