There have been rumours that Sony would launch a movie download service for the PS3, but it has now been confirmed that it will be happening sometime this summer. It should come to the US first, with plans to roll out in Europe and Japan later in the year. Apparently, Sony are also planning to extend the service to some of its other video enabled devices (such as the PSP). Details on how the whole thing will be implemented seem to be relatively thin on the ground at the moment, but it should add another reason to think about getting a PS3, which started at not that many when it was originally launched.
