Sony working on PlayStation Network service for music, video download
A Financial Times article reported that Sony may incorporate a media download service for both music and video content, in an effort to step up the PlayStation 3’s image as a multimedia player. Sony chief executive Sir Howard Stringer also revealed that Sony is working on improving the communication between the PlayStation devices, most probably between the PSP and PS3. Stringer explained:
We are trying to get our devices to talk to each other efficiently. PlayStation Network should migrate from gadget to gadget. But initially it starts with PlayStation devices and then to TV and beyond. That’s the goal.
It should be noted that the PS3 was just lauded as the Best Gadget of the Year 2007 due to its multimedia device potential. T3 Awards, the award-giving body which granted the prestigious title, also gave special mention to the PS3’s TV tuner.
Stringer wasn’t able to give a timeframe for the project. “We won’t know how effective [the effort] is until early next year,” he said.
