Could VONGO come to the PS3?

Image - Image 1 In an interview conducted by QJ.net with Starz' online digital movie distribution service "VONGO", it was revealed that the service could make its way to Sony's powerhouse console.

"QJ: Is there any possibility this service might also be made compatible with other digital distribution platforms such as the PlayStation 3 or Apple's iTV in the future?

VONGO:
... As to Sony, we have a deep and long relationship there, as they are one of our largest content partners. There are many possibilities that we see with Sony and the PS3 is clearly one of them."

It should be noted that the interview was conducted in the earlier half of the year, however as of firmware update 1.80, the PS3 has become a DLNA compatible medial player, capable of "seeing" the VONGO media player folder on Windows XP and Vista machines, however, these files still read as incompatible.

# xblm is a gimmickGuest 2007-06-20 10:49
according to ALOT of xbots, the xbox360 is mainly for gaming. so then why would you need an online service to sell you videos and whatnot when you're so busy playing gears? because xblm is a gimmick.



PSN isn't a gimmick because PS3 is a gaming machine and an entertainment center, therefore vongo would be a perfect addition to it's already vast capabilities. doesn't vongo charge per month,unlike xblm charging per video? is there a DL limit for vongo? if not the only limiting factors are bandwidth and HDD space.

if you get your head out of the clouds maybe you will see that ps3 is awesome. And this could benefit for sony. Besides the big titles are coming to ps3 in 3 months yeah now what.

I think the only thing stopping it is the fact sony may want to do something like this themselves. If it does happen it will be a second type of vongo called vongops3 or something. Remember Sony makes a lot of movies, which I'm sure are available on vongo, Sony is not going to want to share much of the money the service makes if people are watching a lot of Sony movies, they could make more profit putting them on psn and keeping all profits. I think reaching a deal for fees is the only thing holding it back. What I think will happen is there will be a vongo client only for ps3 that comes as a program you purchase from the psn, just my guess.

Based on..? exactly.. you base your arguments on nothing. How could one say that the PSN is crappy, if you don't even own a PS3?

# with every 360 fanboy there's a playstation fan waiting to be release.Guest 2007-06-21 08:01
how come 360 fanboys talk just like they know it, sense they don't have a playstation 3 to begin with. it's funny how 360 fanboys act like idealistic idiots, thinking they know everything. i wonder why wii is beating the ***** out of 360 sales and 360 sales are slowly dying with every wii sold. than just like that they can't bash the wii. lol what idiots. the playstation 3 is like a richer 360. with better things beside games like movies,music and photos and internet to boot. soon more option will come. than they both be even by then. more games will come, bring something new things to the table that 360 can't do or handle. 360 is ok but not a god. soon people and 360 fanboys will see the ugly side of M$. infact 360 fanboys are acting like M$. selfish and greedy and dumb as hell. they need to give sony a brake for once and stop bashing it. just because you got a 360 and don't have any money for a playstation 3. so 360 fanboys stop acting like M$ a$$e$$ and act like yourselves. buy a ps3 than talk.

# overpaid?Guest 2007-06-21 11:42
I paid the same thing you paid, and got one of the best blu-ray players on the market for $200. It doesn't seem like I overpaid. I would like to see your 360 play a blu-ray disc, go ahead my ps3 plays dvd9's all the time. Go play with your toy little boy.....and by that I mean your 360, you'll go blind if you keep that up ya know.
