Sony's just added Crackle to the offering, which means you're now able to watch full-length, ad-supported movies and TV shows for free at the virtual cinemas. Now, admittedly you've been able to watch these same movies on your PS3 for a while via the web browser, but more sociable types might appreciate the ability to watch in public groups of 60 users, or throw private parties for 11 of your friends.
