Additonal Info:
President of Sony Computer Entertainment Kazuo Hirai has confirmed that the platform holder will be debuting its PlayStation Network movie download service in North America this summer.
Speaking at the company’s mid-term strategy meeting, Hirai stated the firm would be rolling out the service initially to US territories, with Japan and Europe receiving the feature at a later date.
Full details have yet to be revealed, although more information is expected to arrive some time next month.
Elsewhere, the company also revealed that over 9.8 million PSN accounts have been registered globally, with users accumulating in the region of 170 million downloads, equating to roughly 86 peta bytes of data.
“In the game segment, the two key drivers of new growth are non-game content and services in tandem with enhanced network capability,” stated the firm.
“Sony also expects to achieve profitability in this segment in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, a significant year-on-year improvement due to hardware cost reductions and an enhanced line-up of software titles for PlayStation 3."
Stay tuned.

This would mean that they have to start blocking access somehow to different region stores..
qore is only on us and i still got it on europe, bring on this!
Coming to Europe summer 2020
Is it not summer, already? Or is this one of those BS announcements that'll take a year to put into practice? Either way it'll be interesting to see what titles will be made availabe. I'm guessing it'll be nothing thats been released on DVD or BD in the past 12 months. Also how will this work? Will it be Peer-to-peer? Will you be able to pause a download so you can give your system a "rest" or play online at the same time?
lol @ carl
can someone explain the stategy in giving this to america first? i dont want an answer saying because there country is bigger. but like EMO-MERCENARY says europe has been the strong area when it comes to sales and loyalty.
like you EMO im getting pretty annoyed also
Doesn't the UK have some sort of service already with that deal with "play" or something?
Yeah give it to the americans and F&&K everyone else, jesus christ did bush give mr sony sexual favours or something
I love watch HD movies on my Full HD plasma and uncompress audio on my Dennon Receiver with klipsch audio tech. I guess I'm not buy this one.

OMG! that would mean only european store for me... that sucks
I dont think the president of the u.s. has anything to do with sony's movie download service. Sony is competing with microsoft basically only in the u.s. , so it makes sense....plus, we make all the movies you dorks! lol Also, I dont think this will affect region coding at all for psn, but maybe for the movies...
Ahh. So this is what they've been doing instead of in-game XMB. Well, it's a good move, so I guess it's worth it.
You're so right odium.... I was under the mistaken impression that a company can have different teams working on seperate tasks that they are best suited at. Silly me. I Forgot sony devs can do only one thing at a time.
No rush for UK, our broadband speeds are so slow it will take forever to download a movie. I downloaded 3 Kings (720p) from Xbox 360 store and it took 8 hours!!!
Is everything in Europe so linear? For a second, imagine a service coming out in a territory and only needing support for ONE language. Then think about a lackluster SCEE already failing to deliver PSN goods. And it would be an insane idea to think that the major competition between online services is in the US.
Silly Sony, if you want to attack Xbox Live, go to territories that have low amounts of 360s first. And go to Europe first because they don't already have a DVR service for the PS3.
I think they are going to do the same as M$, and say it'll be released that night during E3...
awesome growth is definitely good
So they say summer, so im going to have to wait till fall befor i can dowload any movies in the US

Well, Summer almost here (right now, it's still officially Spring), and we are about to get XMB and this IPTV thing. So there were two teams. I was being sarcastic in my post, what were you doing in yours?
psn id: gingo... yeah i expect europe to not see this for quite a while but when it finally comes it wll be amazing
