Spotify is launching today for Sony's PS4 and PS3

• theverge.com

As of today, that changeover is officially complete: Music Unlimited is dead, and Spotify users can now log into the service on either the PS3 or PS4. It's an exclusive deal, as well — Spotify won't be coming to the Xbox One any time soon. Ahead of its launch, we had a chance to get a demo of Spotify running on the PS4 and learn a lot more about how Sony's new music service of choice works on its consoles.

The first time you launch the Spotify app on your PlayStation console, you're met with the expected sign up or log in screen. Existing Spotify users can enter their credentials or log in with Facebook, or they can use the Spotify Connect feature from a smartphone or tablet. The latter is a pretty slick way to get set up — assuming your PS console and phone are on the same wireless network, you'll see an option to connect to the console right in the app. Once you connect, all your credentials will be set up on the console and you can start playing music there. If you're not a Spotify customer, you can sign up for a premium membership and bill it straight through your PlayStation Network account, but having premium isn't a requirement.
