Sony Courting Studios for PS3 Movie Download Store
Sony Pictures is presently the only studio believed to be confirmed for the new service. The company is currently in talks with several others to bring more films to the store, slated to hit the PS3's PlayStation Store sometime this summer.
The report goes on to note that the company plans to offer more in its service than what's currently available on the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Marketplace Video Store and other digital distributors, which may include the ability to transfer downloads from the PS3 to Sony's PSP handheld.
At its launch in 2006, the Xbox Live Marketplace Video Store included content from just two major movie studios, Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures. The service has since gained the support of MGM, Walt Disney Pictures and Lionsgate Films.

I hestiated to point that out, 'cos it's been rumored for so long -- we reported it just before GDC, too. It's been expected for quite awhile.

Isn't 360 the most successful one?
Also 360 at least in britain is getting IPTV from BTVision which has a massive TV and Film on demand catalogue.
Don't understand what more Sony could be doing though, selling 1080p films would fill a PS3 HDD in 1-2 films :S-

hehe yeah I didnt mean to imply you were saying it was 2nd yourself :)
I need to get a DVB-S2 Tuner for my pc to get free to air HD channels sometime soon, but I'm told media center can't record them? If its true hopefully it will be in MC SP1 whenever it appears :)
Other than that I'm quite impressed with the 360 as a media center....except for the noise :( if I hadnt gotten an elite last year I'd probably switch out the fans for something a lot more reliable and quiet
