PlayStation 3 download movies

According to a Sony executive, the company plans to offer a PlayStation 3 console video download service. With this additional video download feature, Sony is gradually "portraying" the PS3 as a multi-device. Functions can serve as the 'nucleus' of home entertainment systems.

In a recent interview, Phil Harrison, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, said Sony intends to offer a video download service for the PlayStation 3 (PS3).

The expectations that this media group gives to PS3 include the ability to download, store and run high-definition movies and TV shows.

In an interview with 1up, the gaming industry newspaper, Harrison said Sony had a significant investment to make the PS3 the 'navel' of the entertainment center. He added: ' This is a perfectly correct thing .'

Sony did not set a time frame for the video download service, Harrison's statements may be aimed at stimulating the purchasing power of the PS3 - one of the most expensive console games out there but being hit by products. Other such as Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii and even PS2 'surpassed' in many markets.

Enhance the PS3

According to statistics from NPD Group, the PS2 sold more than the PS3 in the US in December, emerging as the best-selling game product in the Christmas period.

This additional video download feature helps Sony gradually "portray" the image of the PS3 as a multifunctional device that can serve as the "nucleus" of home entertainment systems. This will probably stimulate paying customers for console games that cost nearly $ 600.

In addition, the new download service will help Sony compete directly with Apple's iTunes Music Store, revealing its new ambitions to become the center of the future 'digital living room'.

Although Microsoft was ahead of Sony with the launch of Xbox Live service, the PS3 was able to offer users the ability to buy the entire content of the video thanks to its relatively large hard drive. Sony soon installed a large-capacity hard drive into the PS3 from the beginning, some models may have up to 60GB of memory.
Both Xbox and PS3 can play DVDs and allow users to play 'antagonistic' with other gamers via the Internet.

Sony has launched a service to help users download and watch movies on the PlayStation 3 (PSP). This feature makes the PSP a formidable rival for iPod (Apple).

'Super computer' . cheap

When the PS3 hit the market last year, Sony's decision to produce with the most luxurious components was met with ridicule from the gaming community. However, for the purpose of turning the PS3 into a "core" of home entertainment systems, Sony's moves as well as the pricing of PS3's product units are much more expensive than the "rivals" from Microsoft and Nintendo is absolutely worthy.

Analyst Andrew Rassweiler said: ' PS3 buyers have bought a' supercomputer 'with the starting price of a PC. One reason why the PS3 has a huge production cost is the excellent processing power '.
