Imagine you ’re watching Jax blast some turf - impinge Mexicans on Sons of Anarchy when a screen notification offers you the chance to buy an SOA shot glass to fete . With Fox ’s new SOA Gear app , it ’s not that far - fetched .
Beginning with the new Sons of Anarchy installment on November 1st , the SOA Gear App will synchronise up with live program to bring you fillip content and swag to the iPad on your lap . Lady and gentlemen start your iPads !
The app will also sync with the Season 3 Blu - ray using Bachelor of Divinity - Live to give you navigation dominance over what you ’re watch . When , say , Gemma Morrow struts onto the screen wear down an particularly telling tank , the app will present you with the chance to corrupt the necklace that ’s dangling in her cleavage . We have n’t seen a full list of the 120 particular that wil be for sale , but we do know that it will be a mixture of SOA mark appurtenance and non - branded items — everything from leather biker gloves to badass replication rings and bootcut Seven Jeans . Could n’t they have started with a show with better arrange characters ? It ’s not ALL about selling you stuff — the app also features behind - the - scenes footage for all you pop off - hards out there .
Is this kind of shopping experience what citizenry are look for , and more significantly , will anyone buy in by download the app ? Fox and FX are ripe that Son of Anarchy fans are very loyal . presumptively they ’re hop the hope of exclusive footage will entice people in . It ’s punishing to say without in reality using the app , but the overall system seems a lilliputian clunky . Fox did tell us that this was something of a beta psychometric test for Apps that might get in the future .
Get quick multitude . This is only the beginning . one-half of us are fiddling with some gadget or another while we watch telecasting . Smartphones , tablets and cyberspace - connect TVs are only getting smarter and more pervasive . As our toys become more connected , you better believe that the merchandising executives at Brobdingnagian networks , studios , and record labels are going to be strain to stuff gross - hike products down your throat .
One sidereal day a product - promote notifications might not seem like such a horrible intermission . People might apprize the admonisher : “ Gee whiz , I really have been meaning to get some trashy jewelry . ”
