Bing Music lets you discover and sample more than 5 million songs and lyrics for free, including search results tailored for songs, artists, albums, and lyrics. Songs can be played inline and purchased with one click from iTunes, Amazon, or Zune.
Bing Movies helps people pick a movie through visual search, customer reviews, inline movie trailers and highlight videos, one-click purchasing, and so on. If movie night is really a date night, there’s also integrated Bing Maps to help you find parking, local restaurants, and other related information.
Bing TV offers more than 1,500 shows and 20,000 full TV episodes, TV listings, and easy access to episodes, reviews, images, and so on. Videos included come from partners like Hulu, Viacom, and CBS.
Bing Games offers more than 35,000 aggregated reviews, cheats, and walkthroughs for video games. Nearly 100 top casual games can be played inline, without registration, spyware, or intrusive ads.
Most of these media assets are free for first time viewing consumption, then revert to preview mode. Better still, buyers can use good old cash, instead of needing to accumulating and spend Zune points.
According to Bing, users want a trusted, single source for entertainment. Seventy six percent of people use search to help find and navigate their entertainment options online, but only 10 percent say they have a trusted place to go, notes Bing. The search engine’s new Entertainment feature hopes to capture the 90 percent of users without a trusted online “safe zone.” [24×7]
