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.
