Last April, Sony's Scott Steinberg revealed the possibility that the PS3 will be having some fancy features. An example would be the movie and music download services. Well, we managed to grab something that's somehow related to this.

A new video advertisement was posted showing the various features of the said console. Apparently, there's one snippet that caught our eyes. Even though it was just shown for a limited time, we saw icons of different TV networks, such as HBO, Cartoon Network, NBC, and the CW.

Now, this is certainly something to note. Network logos? Could this mean that there's a possibility that users can download TV shows in the future? Hopefully. But as of writing, nothing has been confirmed about this. Time will tell if things will become a reality.

For the meantime, watch the clip we've provided below. Do keep an eye out for the logos we mentioned. We'll hook you guys up with the latest news and developments on this matter.

Could be PlayTV? The Sony freeview box for the PS3 that's coming out in Europe, just an idea.

the last thing the playstation needs is some guy dancing
ffs get it together, your ads are ***** weve add a cowboy one which is truely sad

anyway the guy above mentioned the search thing, its play tv because freeview you have to search, although its not concrete but i do believe its playtv

 » ok... for the people

that never saw play tv in action here's the video...

http://www.xataka.com/2008/02/17-playtv-en-accion

the site is in spanish but what's matter it's the video. Now, playtv is hardware + software thing. The today video just show tv networks in the same store that means is a video store that sony already said is in the works. When will go out? I don't know because they advertise home before any release date.

Anyway the thing is that this and playtv are just two different things.

 » Those are US channel Logo's

None of the would be channels in any country where Play TV is to launch as they are premium (pay) whereas Freeview is well, free..
