WTH sony

WTH Sony! where are your full HD movie downloads from PSN? they own motion picture companies, and all the give us are trailers. if 360 can do it why cant PS3. i watched stardust in HD last night from my 360 and it was a great experience. the download started, 5 min later it had downloaded enough to start the movie, and i watched it while it finished. it never stopped the play back once. and it was only $5

Sony needs to put some actual thought into this system or ill be using this ps3 for a blu-ray player period.

They already said they are working on a service like this. It was announced at launch.

Give them time to make it right. Perhaps it will come with that Playstation Store revamp in april.

thats the whole point genius

they WANT you to buy blu ray discs

You buy me the T1 line and the 50 Terabytes of HDD space, then I might be interested.emitsu97

Screw that, I'll take a TRUNK line

OK?!?! You act like that is needed for this service, yet I can DL a HD movie with only 5 gigs empty on my 360 hard drive and it will be playing in under 10 minutes on a standard DSL connection. :roll:

I hope Sony does it better then the 360. I was very disappointed with with 360's movie service it was a complete ripoff. I downloaded Pans Labyrinth for $5 after it was finished downloading it said I had 2 weeks before the movie expires. I was impressed $5 for a 2 week rental. As soon as you start playing it however a 24hr countdown begins. So as soon as you start watching it you have 24hrs before it expires and you have re purchase it. $5 for essentially a 1 night rental complete ripoff. That was the first and only time I rented a movie off my 360 netflicks is so much cheaper. I hope PS3 movie system allows more then 24hrs to watch a movie or else I'm not interested.

Maybe one day bandwidth will be big enough so that all movie distribution is digital! What a time to be alive....NamL124

My Professor was explaining to me that eventually all twisted pair cables will be replaced with fiber, which offers unlimited bandwidth....

I'm telling you dude, it will happen. Many corporations are switching to fiber. Right now it's really hard for some companies because the cost is very excessive.

Eventually Sony will be able to offer on-demand video....

PSN store is free and fantastic.

I love SONY

Huh?

I don't get what your point is. Maybe you could be a little more elaborate? I was simply commenting on you seeming to think you need some crazy hard-drive space with fiber-optics running to it for a digital movie rental service to work, when this obviously isn't the case. All I know is I can rent a HD movie on XBL for the same price of a new release DVD at Blockbuster and I'll be watching it in half the time it would take me to drive to Blockbuster.

You're talking rent, I'm talking buy.

The bitrate on those "HD" downloads are so low(even lower than DVD), I'm not even sure they can be considered HD. Add that on top of the fact that you're paying $5 for a 24-hour download and it is one of the biggest rip-offs known to man. Especially when there are deals like NETFLIX out there.

This goes for Apple too, not just Microsoft. Sony as well if they come out with a crap service like this.

ZZZZZZzzzzzz...

Well the Store is rumoured to be getting a complete overhaul soon, and the movie downloads might have something to do with that.

If they said they're gonna do it, you can bet they're working on it.

PS Offtopic- Stardust is a good movie.

well sony has been busy with blu ray. its just won the format was so they no longer need to put in any effort to make it win. they might start to focus on downloads. but you have to remember that xbl has been around longer so microsoft have had a lot more time to get it sorted out. and xbl isnt free so microsoft can have more download servers than sony can. unless home makes sony richerd_ano

It took ms 1 year after the 360 release to have movies/tv shows on marketplace - sony is weak.

And they still haven't fixed RROD yet. Just goes to show where their priorities are.
