Playstation 3 To Have HD Movies From All 6 Major Studios
Wow. The PS3 is getting HD purchases and rentals from all six major studios. A quick search turns up that Xbox is missing Fox and, duh, Sony. Update: Xbox responds to say they've already got this stuff.
From an Xbox representative:
We have partnerships with all the major movie studios to either rent and/or purchase movies on Xbox LIVE, many available in instant-on 1080p HD streaming through Zune. We were the first and remain the only console to bring instant-on 1080p streaming movies and TV shows to consumers and offer a library of more than 25,000 pieces of content. When it comes to total entertainment experiences and value, Xbox 360 continues to lead the charge.
I also heard that PS3 can't stream.
Apparently, the claim of being first had to do with some studios having rentals only on some consoles. Bullshit, essentially. But it's nice that Sony isn't handicapping the Playstation 3 in order to protect its blu-ray business.
Sony's got deals with Fox, Disney, Paramount, Itself, Universal and Warner. I'm impressed. Now I just have to remember my login for PS network.
