I'm pretty surprised at how much content they have for a launching feature. They really nailed this, releasing immediately with massive support.

dktxx25783d ago

Me too, I was expecting maybe 3-4 movies for each studio, maybe some tv shows. but they really have a nice selection. Ups too Sony exceeding expectations.

pwnsause5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

hopefully they get more anime/tv/movie studios on board, this is really good though to realease it immediately is just a epic win.

i remember about 1-2 months ago, people were making a big deal that even though sony is opening up the store, they didnt get any contracts to distribute with other studios yet, guess they are gonna have to shut their mouths now. goes to show you that sony has good ties in the idustry.

Hagaf225783d ago

great list, great support off the get go, but im alittle disappointed with some of the pricing- 1.99 for an episode of family guy? its 20 mins long, or i can get an episode of myth busters twice as long for the same price? interesting.... and why are different rentals different prices... guess time will work everything out...

mercenarie5783d ago

can you imagine the amount of content the store would contain over the next few months? mmm i would like to see what movie/tv show gets the highest number of purchases.

CaptainHowdy5783d ago

soo much more than i expected

MikeGdaGod5783d ago

i agree. i just bought an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force for +$2. i like 15 minutes long.....if that. i love that show though.

i hope they adjust pricing soon. i had $2 to blow but i doubt i'll make many purchases. i'll probably rent a few things this weekend to try out the upscaling quality of the SD movies.

and not monthley fee because there will be times where i wont see any movies and ill pay for nothing that month its better like this for me atleast

Dir_en_grey5783d ago

The price is ridiculous compared to just having to pay for Netflix.
Maybe for the price of "buy", give another option of paying more and being able to download while they send you the blu-ray for keep?
Or maybe offer the netflix type of deal for all you can download off the rentals.

PLAYSTATION®Store is not available in the selected country or region.??
Ireland

Hagaf225783d ago

hummmm interesting, thought it would be a world wide simultaneous thing... guess not... dont worry fellow ps3 owner, you are not forgotten...

OmegaKulu5783d ago

Video store is ONLY in US.... not even Canada have one yet....

colonel1795783d ago

Is in the PC store, but what about the ps3?

I live in mexico, but I have a US account. How come it doesn't let me download anything?

Is the PS3 store will ONLY available to people living in US?

Because if so, this would disappoint a LOT of people. starting from me

Playstation Man5783d ago

I believe Canadian copyright laws prevent us from even having a PS video store...*sigh*. PS Blog had a bunch of info on this earlier.

I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.

you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.
