Sony’s PlayMemories Studio PS3 photo and video editing app launches today in the US for $15

Just a few days ago, we heard that Sony was launching PlayMemories Studio this Sunday in Japan, and now the company has officially launched its photo and video editing app in the US as well. PlayMemories Studio sounds identical to the Japanese version, with the option to organize and view your photos and videos (including content on external drives or cameras as well as what’s locally on the PS3), share them to Facebook and the upcoming PlayMemories website, and do some basic editing. The app will set you back $15 if you’re interested, but Sony’s offering a 30-day trial version of PlayMemories Studio — and PlayStation Plus subscribers, as well as those who have recently purchased a Sony camera, can download the app for free. The app will be pushed out with Sony’s regular PlayStation Store update tonight.
