PS3 ad spills beans on TV show downloads

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.

Play TV

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

If you want to see the pic without to see the video then here http://kotaku.com/assets/resources/2008/05/pstvshows.jpg or http://www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/05/ps3tvshowsomg.jpg Another interesting one? here... you can see that in the bottom now pressing start will show a search thing, playstation store logo change and up you can see two tabs, one with game and another for videos http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2202/2487908025_f7a991551c_o.jpg

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..
