Confirmed: Enhanced PS3 Network & Movie Downloads This Summer

A stronger network and movie download capabilities? When Kazuo Hirai, head of Sony’s Video Game Division says to “expect more” from an evolving PS3 console, he means it.

Sony has officially announced that in addition to strengthening its PS3 network capabilities, they will begin a PlayStation 3 movie download service in the US this summer. The service will then expand into Japan and Europe at a later date.

Those outside the US can expect to receive more details about the expansion of service to their area sometime next month.

    Judging by other things like this, I expect us people in europe will get it about a year after the US if we ever do get it.

    @Ominator,

    Look on the bright side, it could be 2 years.

    Sony is such an innovator! Too bad MS had to rip them off by allowing downloadable movies something like two years ago. Freaking XBL is always ripping off PSN.
