Plex opens arms, frees consoles

If you’re a PlayStation 3/4 or Xbox One PLEX aficionado, you will be pleased to learn that according to Neowin all three apps have been freed from the shackles of service fees.

The Plex system of apps and services is fast becoming the most popular way to organise and view extensive home media collections.
