PS3 Video on Demand "This Calendar Year"

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves has confirmed that video on-demand will be available via the PlayStation Network by the end of the year. Speaking at a PSN event in London recently, Reeves said that Sony will indeed be "offering video on demand", adding "I can't give you a time but it is not in the distant future, it will be within this calendar year."

According to Reeves, full-length movies, music and TV programmes will all be available for download, direct to both the PS3 and PSP, although he gave no indication of exactly what would be available at launch or indeed the pricing structure. Reeves added, "It will not be in all of our PAL territories but it will be in the major territories."

upon the realization that the four precious letters "NTSC" have been omitted from the article.

Uh, there WILL be VOD in North America, right?

(Right???)

@eques judicii:

I'm referring specifically to PS3; We've already got VOD alternatives here in Canada. But I enjoy and would like to rely on the fact that the PS3 is able to centralize all of my multimedia needs so well.

So "VOD for PS3 in NTSC, I plea!!!"

(I'm a poet and don't even know it.)

eques judicii6180d ago

already is, its offered by comcast and charter and actually called, "on demand"

techie6180d ago

You knew you fraud!

This sounds cool...cant wait

PS3 + Linux + USB Turner = free tv recorder, eh close enough to this

I'll make it very clear. Reeves is in charge of Europe, why would he be discussing a service outside of his territory? (North America/Asia)

Offer an external hard drive. or is any external hard drive compatible?
I wander anyone offers a 300gig internal hard drive for the PS3.

Kyur4ThePain6180d ago

USB drive will do. I have a WD MyBook 320gb attached.

SmokeyMcBear6180d ago

i think the biggest right now for internal is a 200 gb drive, it has to be 2.5" Also any usb external will work. I have a 500GB seagate, just have to format it into FAT32

Andronix6180d ago

Torch, dont be disappointed that David Reeves never mentioned NTSC territories... He is the prez of SCE-Europe so he cant make that announcement for a different territory.

Sony have been promising this for some time, we know its been coming but it would actually be great to have -especially as my local Blockbuster store has closed down!

VirtualGamer6180d ago (Edited 6180d ago )

Don't think many should be suprised at this. It was only a matter of time as to when they would offer this service.

Hey Torch where abouts in Canada? I am from Calgary, Alberta.

THE_JUDGE6180d ago

I can't wait for this. Things in HD are so hard to come buy where I live. Comcast rapes you for everything you have for even the most basic stuff. Wonder what type of stuff they have planned for this one, either way its all good.

eques judicii6180d ago

they'd have to rename it for america though, i'm pretty sure it would be a trademark infringement in america...

and HD-content isn't that hard to come by... video marketplace in america is awesome.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
