Since its launch, the PS3s XrossMediaBar (XMB) has been populated by apps offering everything from movie streaming to sports, protein folding, programming, YouTube, and beyond.

Rest assured, if youre looking to use the PS3 for something more than gaming, Sony has options.

And to start, heres a rundown of the systems most essential apps.

PlayStation Store The crown jewel of PS3s XMB, The PlayStation Store serves as the hub of the consoles digital entertainment.

Here, PlayStation Network members can link up their credit cards and shop Sonys collection of gaming content, which includes downloadable retail titles, digital-only PSN games, or byte-sized PS Minis.

More than just another place to spend your money, the PlayStation Store is also where PlayStation Network can redeem their DLC codes, find the latest demo, snag XMB themes, or download the newest PS freebie (provided youre all paid up on your premium dues).

Video Unlimited Available in: All regions Launched in 2010, Video Unlimited is Sonys online film and TV digital distribution service which offers the same titles found within the PlayStation Stores movie channel.

Where Video Unlimited sets itself apart, however, is in its fresh approach to searching.

With this app, entertainment seekers can scan the PlayStation Networks video library using a number of unique search conditions and discover new movies based on common factors (i.e actors, directors, niche genres, etc.).

Intuitive browsing and recommendation features make this app more friendly to movie fans than its PlayStation Store counterpart.

Music Unlimited Available in: All regions Formerly known as Qriocity, Music Unlimited is the audio arm of Sonys digital empire.

Unlike its companion app, Video Unlimited, Music Unlimited operates as a cloud-based streaming service, sporting millions of songs which can be played instantly across multiple Sony devices for a monthly subscription fee.

The setup is similar to Netflix in that Music Unlimited subscribers never actually own any of the songs on the service, but instead cue them up from Sonys server.

Also like Netflix, Music Unlimited comes loaded with the ability to read ones musical tastes and suggest alternative tracks.

As with Xboxs Zune Store and Apples iTunes, Music Unlimited is a clean and user-friendly outlet for lovers of all things audio.

Life With PlayStation is a free app with a good intentions, making it essential for gamers who have the extra hard drive space and an open mind.

Created by UC Berkeley grads back in 2006, Crunchyroll recently hit the PS3 scene in 2012 with a number of popular shows picked up through over six years of wheeling and dealing with overseas studios.

As a result, PS3 viewers are treated to hundreds of well known programs like Naruto Shippuden, Beelzebub, Blue Exorcist, and more.

Like all good things, the full Crunchyroll experience comes with a monthly price of US6.95 for the anime, US6.95 for the drama, or US11.95 for both, with deals for longer term commitments.

And while its possible to get your anime fill for free with a handful of samples, a Crunchyroll subscription is required to dip into its full selection.
