Rumor: PS Cloud is a music service

A couple of months ago, we had a report from CNET saying that Sony had been talking to some recording industry types about providing downloadable music for the PSP through the PlayStation Network. Now that rumors of PS Cloud being a social networking tool has been debunked, the latest from the mill alleges that it's actually for this music service.

It's a rumor from an anonymous tipster, so take this with a huge helping of salt. PlayStation Lifestyle points out that the PS Cloud trademark Sony filed indeed covers "audio content provided via an on-demand service via the internet", but it's only one of the services covered in the filing.

Well, what do you think guys? I wouldn't mind if PS Cloud did turn out to be iTunes for the PSP and PS3, but only if Sony completely kicks its bad DRM habits. You can check out more info that possibly support the "Cloud as music service" theory in the source link.

oh, i'm getting pistol whipped now

# WTF — S1L3NC3.. 2009-07-04 14:11

A pink PSP 1000 actually existed? Never seen one before.

# super-duper — pewpie 2009-07-05 00:44

wow - another itunes clone - what a totally uninteresting and redundant idea..

perfect for 'da' PSN.

# shut up. — hush404 2009-07-05 02:43

seriously.

If going on the idea, the name, it's very possible you pay for the music but it stays on their servers for you to stream to your playstation products, thus eliminating need for massive storage devices just for music.

# ***** you n your mother with a chainsaw — pewpie 2009-07-05 03:12

seriously..

how much do sony pay for you to sound like a whore?

kunt..

# hush404 is a paid sony shill — pewpie 2009-07-05 03:32

Dear Sony,

Please pay me to say everything you do is great, just like hush404.

I will even let you look after my music collection - because leaving my msic on a corporate network is sooo much cooler then having my own archives.

Then please - let me tattoo your logo onto my forehead and change my name to sony corporation in your honour.

Thanks. Love Pew.

# hey — ps3rocks360sucks 2009-07-05 05:18

shut up tahts a good idea

# pewpie — the by 2009-07-05 06:11

you really are a tw@t aren't you?

come back once you have got past puberty!

# another whore — pewpie 2009-07-05 06:11

>sniff sniff<

av a wash... you got sony's jizz all over yer chin.

# whores on parade!! — pewpie 2009-07-05 06:22

i bet you all the sam sad kunt on different accounts.

you all smell the same to me.

go fúck your lonely mother. you know nothing - you having nothing to say. and you sayin it way too loud.

sony suck - and if you don't like it - kiss my *****.

# Yawn.. Next! — pewpie 2009-07-05 07:03

bring on the whores!!

i love being baselessly told to shut up and be insulted by passing corporate shills!

actually - its a little boring and disappointing.. children are supposed to have free souls - not be corporate hoz'..

nevermind - i tire of you all - whip yourselves into a whorish frenzy - go on knock yerselves out. this page is clearly marked with your whorish fanboy scent for all to sniff.

# hmmmm — fearlubu 2009-07-05 08:23

now im not supporting this little deal of sony at all, but who really gives a damn? If you won't use it, fine. There are still those cats who will; there's no need to go around spamming stupid shiiiiiiii around.

Furthermore, I see you have a dislike of Sony....but why leave out Nintendo and MS?

Milo? WM+? Natal? and you're complaining about this?? LOL

and no, my mother is tired from getting pummeled from by dad

# Spotify — god0fgod 2009-07-05 09:16

Sounds like something that could be similar to spotify but not just limited to Europe and for the PS3 and PSP.

# All the better — Lazyboy256 2009-07-05 10:51

If this does turn out as a music service, all the more power to Sony. Since the console has media center compatabilities , I'm sure some will go out to grab some of their music from this...though there exist other ways to buy music.

Also, is pewpie some kinda reincarnation of that one potato dude? He/She/It seems like some kinda troll to me ;s

# it's ...ITS — Vman00 2009-07-05 13:47

Melty in disguise!

# wow...@fearlubu — danielakadanny 2009-07-05 16:20

if u r being serious...i am sorry for you...u do know there are services to help you and your mom right?

# Not Flaming Here... — GUNBEHINDTHESUN 2009-07-06 01:03

I think it's great to have more choices for entertainment out there. I still prefer to buy my own cds and convert them how I see fit instead of using a music service. Maybe PS Cloud is a music video service with social networking built in. That would be awesome.

# Good idea — Emblazin 2009-07-06 02:50

I think this is definatly a step forward for Sony. They already offer a music service for the PC, but making it available will just add more features to the PS3. Maybe this will be released with the PS3 Slim!

P.S. - To all the trolls:

Xbox is only shooters

Wii is for kids

# Dear Microsoft — rockethot 2009-07-06 05:16

Dear Microsoft,

Dear Sony,

Please pay me to say everything Sony does is horrible, just like pewpie.

I want to be just like pewpie and tell people to ***** their own mothers, even though that's completely disrespectful. I also want to say kiss my ***** even though that's way too many asterisks to make any type of sense. Please Microsoft I beg you.

Love,

Rocket
