meh, this is really not that interesting since u can get FREE content on nbc.com anyways regardless if its HD or not. Just another way for Sony to collect some revenue me thinks. . .

True enough BB, why would we pay for something we can get for free on the internet. Sony, I don't know who is running the company these days but they need to be fired! There is no reason why the PSN cannot be just as good if not better then Xbox live. Probably because Japan dose not understand the American market and there ridged Corp. decision making prevents them from thinking outside the box (pun not intended).

Well it never hurts to have more features for those that do find this appealing. You can say the same for the millions that pay for Xbox Live gold but it still sells.

It is always a good thing to provide users with more content options. Period.

The problem, is that people who wanted this content previously (and know what a torrent is) have had access to this stuff for FREE. The ps3 plays most files used for this content. I have EVERY episode of family guy, and I didn't pay 2$ an episode. I feel it's the same as watching them off my DVR. Only more convenient.

Even the PlayStationNetwork needs to draw some sort of revenue, this maybe the answer there looking for.

As for the XBL network, Microsoft created a Monopoly which is normal for MS. every thing you do while your hooked up online is threw XBL. while PSN is not shoved down your throats, its an option.

See the problem with watching stuff on NBC.com, ABC.com CBS.com are run by Rearend (you get the insult) people. What you people can watch for free, people who dont live in the States cant. example people who live in canada near border areas get most of the american stations but they are not allowed ot watch programs they missed off those websites. its a American only BUll $$$#$#$$ So this option will be good for those who dont live in the states.
