Sony unveils PlayStation video service

Sony has unveiled a movie download service for its Playstation Network, allowing users to rent and purchase standard and HD movies and TV shows for the PlayStation 3.

In addition to Sony's own movie and television holdings, the service will include films from Fox, MGM, Lionsgate, Universal and Warner Bros.

The movies and TV shows will be available in standard and high-definition formats. The company estimated that the launch will include 300 films and 1,200 television programmes.

Jack Tretton, president and chief executive at Sony Computer Entertainment of America, credited Sony's large reach in the entertainment industry with helping to bolster the service.

"The collaboration of Sony's film, TV and entertainment business units, coupled with our hardware and content offerings, provide consumers with entertainment experiences unlike any on the market," he proclaimed.

The rental service will use a format similar to that of the iTunes movie service. Users will have 14 days to begin watching a rented title. After playback has begun, users will have 24 hours to watch the entire film.

The company said that rentals will cost anywhere from $2.99 to $5.99, while movie purchases will range from $9.99 to $14.99.

While the content will only be downloadable through the PS3's Sony Network service, purchases can also be transferred and viewed on a PSP system through a USB cable connection.

PlayStation Store Update: musical geography edition

Though it's another relatively quiet week for the PlayStation Store, there's music in the air. A boatload of tracks for Rock Band and some rare music album offerings make for a strangely musically-inclined update this week. Here's what we've got:

Games

• PSP: The Con ($19.99): Previously released on UMD, The Con is a rough-and-tough fighting game that allows you to place bets and throw fights as you pursue financial glory.

Demos

• PSP: Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2

Add-ons

• PS3: Rock Band tracks ($1.99 per song): It's a European invasion this week with "Beetlebum" as performed by Blur, "Countdown to Insanity" by H-BlockX, "Hier Kommt Alex" by Die Toten Hosen, "Hysteria" by Muse, "Manu Chao" by Les Wampas, "Monsoon" by Tokio Hotel, "New Wave" by Pleymo, "Perfekte Welle" by Juli, and "Rock 'N' Roll Star" by Oasis joining the set list.
• PS3: Rock Band discount tracks ($0.99 per song): Epic's "We Care A Lot" and Blink 182's "All The Small Things" are on sale this week.
  

Music

• PS3: PixelJunk Monsters album ($2.99): 24 Japanese techno tracks from Otograph will have you dreaming of tower defense while you're on the move.
  
• PSP: The Con tracks (free): Four tracks from the game's fight-inducing soundtrack.

What a weird week: that's a ton of free and for-pay music to listen to. Be sure to check out the Siren: Blood Curse trailer in between all that rocking out: it's a sharp-looking PlayStation Network title that may turn some heads when it lands this summer. Plus, you'll need something to do while you wait for Metal Gear Solid 4 and mourn Haze.

Sony Makes Japanese PlayStation Store Accessible by PC

Don't have a PS3 but want to download games to your PSP? Sony solves that in Japan

Thanks to the PlayStation Store, gamers can connect their PSP to the PlayStation 3 console to download classic PSone games to play on the handheld. Those without a PS3, however, do not have access to such a feature – unless they live in Japan.

Sony announced at TGS that the PlayStation Store may now be accessed using a PC connected to the web. The announcement currently appears to apply only to the Japanese market, as North American and European gamers still must access the downloadable content via the PS3.

It is unclear when or if the PC-accessible service will venture outside of Japan, but Sony is likely working on ways to sell PSP owners worldwide downloadable content.

The ability to download classic games onto the PSP came in December 2006, less than a month following the PS3’s launch. For as low as $5.99, gamers can purchase PSone classics such as Cool Boarders, Crash Bandicoot, Hot Shots Golf 2, Syphon Filter and Tekken 2 to play on PSP.

In other PSP-related news, Sony announced new PSP Remote Play features, such as the ability to control the power state of the PS3.
