Sony has received its own share of criticism for their Playstation Store and its download service, first the dated design, then the long load times and then the limited content. well things are shaping up to be okay for the PS3 and its download service. First a new look for the store and now a rumor about Sony offering movies and TV shows on PSN, according to a report on Slashdot:
“One of the service’s greatest obstacles may be Sony’s own culture. Sony Chairman and Chief Executive Howard Stringer has been battling a corporate silo mentality in which divisions within his company work in isolation, undermining new initiatives. The PlayStation group in Foster City, Calif., has been notoriously aloof. Once, a former executive said, it scuttled plans for a movie subscription service for the PlayStation Portable even though Sony Pictures had supported the initiative. What is more, the company, looking to safeguard its film, television and music holdings, has been an aggressive champion of copyright protection, often, critics suggest, at the cost of technological innovation.”
Lets hope that the service can compete against the might Xbox Live and offer some visaul relief to PS3 owners. Do I hear “World Championship Beach Volley Ball”
