SCEA lets you redownload deleted movies from PS Store, but only once |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: DRM, PlayStation Store, SCEA, Sony

Ever deleted movies you bought from the PS Store to free up space on your hard drive before realizing too late that "D'oh! Movies can't be redownloaded! Why, Sony? Why?"
Well, don't fret about it too much. Apparently, all you have to do is contact SCEA and they'll let you download it again. Only once though. If you decide to delete it again, well, tough cookies. The redownload is considered as a "one-time courtesy," so don't push your luck.
The download restriction, although necessary, makes you wonder if it's worth it to actually purchase movies from the PS Store. If you keep purchasing movies, you'll eventually have to delete some when you need some extra space, making your previous purchases worthless. And then what happens if the system becomes obsolete? Do your purchased movies die with the console?
Lesson for the day, folks: sometimes it's better to just rent.

Buying any DRM media is just plain dumb. Unless it's intended use it primarily once. For example, RENTING or buying a game. Then DRM is just annoying!

also, what happens if your wireless connection drops out and you cant complete the download. my wireless drops out all the time when downloading from psn and i have to restart whatever i was downloading. so, i might have purchased a movie and never even got to complete the download and sony would tell me i cant get it but they sure as hell can take my money as much as they want. this service i guess is really only good for rentals because you can get hd, but even then, i dont know if it's really worth it.
fsck psn.

Which doesn't mean much but the sources I read are smart enough to write their OWN words base on their own research.
