TV Channels coming to the PS3?

Sev1512 writes:
We have all heard of a PSN movie service in the works. But never anything about TV shows. Until now.

If you watch closely on the PS Store downloadable video "What You Need" you can see an image of a listing of TV channels. Some of the channels that can be seen are as follows:

HBO, NBC, Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network, CBS, and MTV.

There are more but they are hard to make out.

True, E3 is going to be great for all consoles. But Sony seems to have the most up its sleeve.

I am also interested to see what the Wii has to sustain its lead.

sonarus5827d ago

To be honest, not really interested since i already have a TV

cp685827d ago

Isn't it simply PLAY TV?

Ezcobar4115827d ago

It's different. Play TV has the advantage of Europe's unified broadcasting system. The US is moving towards that this upcoming year.

Sev5827d ago

This is a US PS3 video.

PlayStation3605827d ago (Edited 5827d ago )

My guess, this is some On Demand Feature.

ie: You can download TV Shows from a list of cable channels (Cartoon Network, HBO, etc.) via the PS store.

edit: guess I'm late to the party. :P

Lionsguard5827d ago

The U.S. is moving towards a unified system? source?

PlayStation3605827d ago (Edited 5827d ago )

he is referring to the all digital over-the-air channels that the US is finally getting in Feb 09.

Sony should partner up with HULU.COM, to make their programming accessible on the PS3.

Free, on demand, good quality and limited commercials.

nutjuice5827d ago

If I can get the pay stations on my Playstation.

Ju5827d ago

Man, I can't tell you how much I am waiting for this to happen... +$200 a month now. For things I usually don't need. (But I am not so sure if on demand is cheaper - I have that now with my cable. But each movie is about $4 each).

BeaArthur5827d ago

That would be nice, but there is no chance anyone is getting free cable through the PS3. We will either have to pay for the service through Sony or we would get some kind of limited cable package that probably isn't worth having. The cable companies are far too greedy to just give it away. It's a nice thought though.

DrPirate5827d ago

At what time is it at?

Maybe I missed it because the video is very low-res.

Sev5827d ago

@ 1.05 minutes into the video. It flashes so quickly.

GutZ315827d ago (Edited 5827d ago )

1:04ish Minutes into it.

DrPirate5827d ago

Thanks alot dudes, very much appreciated.

Very awesome news.

Sev5827d ago

Also click on the source site... There are some still pics, showing the channels in detail.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing698h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker8h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing698h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos14h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto13h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8813h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies3h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
