Sony reveals PlayStation Network 2008 plans - digital media download, original content |
Ó
With the new interface design for the PlayStation Store already revealed to us, Sony thinks it's about time to tease us with more details about what to look forward to in the PlayStation Network. Apparently, the PS Store redesign is just the first step.
Over at the PlayStation Blog, Sony's Peter Dille provides a rundown of their PlayStation Network plans for 2008. According to him, it all starts with the following key priorities:
- The PlayStation community;
- Free online gaming;
- Digital media download services; and
- Original content.
Now if you've always wanted to download full-length TV shows and movies through your Sony PS3, the wait may not last that long. Dille confirms that North American PS3 users will have this video service. No details are available as of yet. Dille mentions that the video service will be unique so it is possible this may not even be BBC's iPlayer.
Dille's not done yet. Knowing the soft spots of the PS3 community, he tells us that Sony is working hard on the in-game XMB and that PlayStation Home will definitely arrive in 2008. Nothing new there but his reassurance never hurts.
On a last note, Dille informs us that the North American PlayStation Network cards are now in the hands of retailers in denominations of US$ 20 and US$ 50. That gives you another option to access your PSN - we'll just have to wait and see if Sony will indeed make it worth a visit. Updates as QJ.NET gets them.

Look out Microsoft!
mm thanks for the reassurance about home weve already lost faith 2008 IS NOT GOOD it should be by the end of this month weve waited far too long i spent an extra £200 (0) to get a ps3 in time for gta4 and HOME, both of which was postponed, the next day the ps3 dropped by £100 ffs
It's great to see that Sony its getting the online better every time, And whats best of all its that its FREE!(at least the online gaming). But I still don't understand why some people still say that the PS3's online sucks :(...
Some people never even tried the online, so they talk out of their asses. Your always gunna have people like that.
its true,and i also have something to add (might be a rumor for you guys) but this "Sony rep" was talkin to me (about the HOME thing i did) and then i asked him about the PS3 future,he said that sony is gonna release in the store Bluray movie available for RENT on the PS3 Store,its not coming like in 2 months its coming MAYBE LATE this year or early next year,he said that you would pay for it and then just stream it,it will expire like in 24hours or something like that
