E3: PS3 and PSP will have movie download service soon

 

In an E3 interview conducted by Gamasutra with Sony‘s senior VP of marketing, Peter Dille announced the imminent arrival of a movie download service for the PS3 and the PSP.

While the slim version of the PlayStation Portable was announced during the E3 showcase, Dille explains that the download service was left out of the program because its formal announcement would be a crucial moment for the PlayStation brand and that it’s something Sony wants to get right or else they’ll “get creamed.” He continues:

So we want to make sure we get the consumer experience right, get the right content, and weÂ’re working really hard on it. And I donÂ’t think weÂ’re talking about years, I think this is something we could get behind really soon.

Dille hopes that users who are still undecided on which console they should choose to buy would see this as the deciding factor. “I think what might convince [people who haven’t picked up a PSP] would be the advent of a service that allows them to put content onto the PSP in an easier fashion.”

Considering the new slim version of the PSP that has a new display function that can output video into external sets, the service might do just that.
