Sony quiet on PS3 video store deploy

via Computer and Video Games


Sony has refused to comment on reports that the PS3 video store will be launched in conjunction with E3 in mid-July.

A video-on-demand service has been officially confirmed in the past, but Sony is yet to announce a release date for the service.

According to reports, US-based magazine EGM says that the video store for PS3 will go live around E3, to which Sony responded with the usual line: "we do not comment on rumour or speculation."

That reply also goes for the other EGM-derived rumour of a "transforming" PS3 pad to be revealed at E3. Sounds a bit far-fetched to us, anyway.

If you missed it, Sony showed a glimpse of what appeared to be the new video store in a recent PS3 advertisement boasting, among others, MTV, NBC and Cartoon Network logos.

We expect to hear more on it and the much-requested in-game communication features soon.

I find this just as a small convenience since its easier to netflix BR movies for a fraction of the price and will provide me with more features. Sony should focus more on releasing subscription plans with netflix for streaming n rentals and it would have a higher chance at blowing away the XBVM

I don't know about these virtual video stores. I don't know about the 360s, but I personally never use it. Seems a waste when you can basically find everything on youtube.

In the same way, why buy a psp game; you can just download them.
