Canada, when?

+ tearsofash on August 15th, 2008 at 1:07 pm said:

Why is meet the spartans always so high up? That is quite possibly one of the most horrible movies I have ever seen!

Nice new update though.

+ JordanBlack68 on August 15th, 2008 at 1:10 pm said:

good update! but when is it coming to the UK

+ X820 on August 15th, 2008 at 1:10 pm said:

I’m waiting for Xam’d: Lost Memories. Or should I go to youtube to watch it :D

Old Yeller, all time favorite movies.

+ Cory97478 on August 15th, 2008 at 1:11 pm said:

Great job on the MOVIES and VIDEOS!!!!
Please make a once monthly charge rather then per Movie, I’d use it a ALOT more!!! Also when is there going to be RADIO on the PS3?!? It’s on the psp!

+ P_tear_griffin on August 15th, 2008 at 1:12 pm said:

will we see content from Universal on the store in the future? Love the updates? Bring more Anime, please?

+ Masterofallz on August 15th, 2008 at 1:16 pm said:

@9.
Agreed. I want more from Universal..

Canada wheeeeeeeeeeen??

I love Old Yeller

+ SonicTHP on August 15th, 2008 at 1:29 pm said:

Got Xam’d last night. I have been enjoying the series thus far.

On a completely unrelated note, what’s up with Europe and Japan getting Battle Fantasia on PS3, but not America?

That seems very odd, and is upsetting to fighting game fans, such as myself.

+ C-h-a-o-s on August 15th, 2008 at 1:30 pm said:

I also wonder what’s up with meet the spartans, spoof comedies haven’t been funny for many years.

+ darkwonders on August 15th, 2008 at 1:31 pm said:

still waiting for Xam’d to be allowed to own at that price…

+ Stoffinator on August 15th, 2008 at 1:34 pm said:

Stop being silent Sony and give us an idea at least when Canada gets this. :-p

+ BlueViper on August 15th, 2008 at 1:37 pm said:

seems pretty sweet, you just need to get South Park and the service to Europe and youre there!
Also, heard about a south park-game coming to some x-bush live or what its named. You really need to get that! even if those games tend to be bad I would definitely get it!

On another note, when you make games like Ratchet & Clank in the future, make sure you can choose language in the menu. Even if it was pretty good voice acting by the Swedish cast, I’d like to play the original too!

+ mywhitenoise on August 15th, 2008 at 1:39 pm said:

ugh, America has such horrible taste in movies!
Come on, Meet The Spartans? Seriously, guys?

ADULT SWIM NEEDS BOONDOCKS,OH AND I LOOOVE XAM’D

+ verybadbeetle on August 15th, 2008 at 1:41 pm said:

I am very pleased with the constant updates to the store. Very nicely done.

+ CowboyDan on August 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pm said:

Any word on the missing episodes for It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia?

That show is so good, I want to download all of Season 3…

+ rahstar2003 on August 15th, 2008 at 1:48 pm said:

Why cant i rent, buy, and see all movies in hd and sd. Why are there options limited for some movies? This really limits my purchases. Nice update though and good updates on the movie service.

+ JoshDargie on August 15th, 2008 at 1:50 pm said:

Wow, great job Sony. I dont own an xbox, but I would have to say that it seems Sony’s Video stores growing faster in terms of there selection compared to Microsoft.

Could be wrong, but the amount of services that are adding each week is crazy good :)

So when does Canada get this? I want some of these movies.

+ Kratos10 on August 15th, 2008 at 1:52 pm said:

canadian video store?

+ toolfan2007 on August 15th, 2008 at 1:54 pm said:

I’d say us europeans can expect this in 2012…

+ Nitrowolf2 on August 15th, 2008 at 2:01 pm said:

wow
are all he video update going to be this big?
that would be sweet, to bad ive seen all those movies

+ Vinclive on August 15th, 2008 at 2:03 pm said:

Please please please if you can do something ask Lionsgate for the first 4 SAW movies :D

+ LN_MEXWARRIOR on August 15th, 2008 at 2:14 pm said:

Good update but let’s get some newer releases please! @ #1: moron… =p

+ RoAcH2285 on August 15th, 2008 at 2:27 pm said:

That’s all good and all. Thanks.

I’m still going to ask just like I do every week, will you guys EVER offer some kind of subscription deal? This is important.

Also, I would like to request Comedy Central and Showtime as networks. You need to provide more Adult Swim content also.

I noticed a New Line movie in the store. Will we be seeing an entire line up of New Line movies?

Oh, and all movies should have a rental option.

Thank You. :)

+ MegaClank on August 15th, 2008 at 2:27 pm said:

Old Yeller eh?

+ AranhaHunter on August 15th, 2008 at 2:30 pm said:

How come you have New Line movies (Semi Pro) and Touchstone movies (Reign of Fire) in New Arrivals or featured, but I can’t find them when I try to search by movie studio? I also try to go to the parent company (Warner and Disney) and they’re not there.

+ MEXPERTBOUND on August 15th, 2008 at 2:35 pm said:

whait this is 4 us only. We want on Canada too !!!

+ enrichovega on August 15th, 2008 at 2:40 pm said:

I haven’t tried any of the tv/movie dloads yet but B4 I do I’m just curious…

Are the shows able to be viewed via psp like remote play?

Are the HD movies on par with blu-ray in visual/audio quality?

Thanks
E.Vega

+ Revenge_Of_Kratos on August 15th, 2008 at 2:53 pm said:

You guys shold get some better horror movies. like Friday The 13th, Nightmare On Elm Street, Holloween, and some Dario Argento stuff too. Movies from the masters of movie making.

+ cmargary on August 15th, 2008 at 3:00 pm said:

I rented drillbit taylor… yesterday was a very boring night specially when I have all the uncharted trophies now lol…

Just two things that I really want it in the videos.
1. Scene search like the psp come onnnn… it’s really needed.

2. Captions pleaseeeee… be different from the competition.

PS: Paranormal State it’s really good? I like that kinds of stories but the video store doesn’t give me a preview and it’s a shame… everything needs a video preview.

+ FritoZ on August 15th, 2008 at 3:03 pm said:

XBOX360 just signed Warner Brothers and they have the neflix deal..

i really think it’s time for Sony to give up on it’s pricing and rental period strategy, and realize that they need to either

1) allow us to view rental movies as many times as we want for a week for the price

2)set up a monthly subscription pricing plan (but don’t charge more per month than Netflix!!!!!) so we can view as many movies as we want within the subscription parameters, and watch em as many times as we want.

i have yet to rent a movie from the PS3 service because i can either go rent them at blockbuster down the street- i pay less, i can keep em longer, and i can watch em as many times as i want until i have to return it.-or just stream ‘em on my 360 with netflix!

seriously, i’m just trying to help you guys out, the PS3 rental ploicyis really taking a beating on the gaming blogs and forums out there..

and i’m getting tired of defending Sony’s video store on the blogs and forums and gaming sites since i don’t believe in the pricing and rental strategy myself…but i really want it to be the best!

thanks for listening!

Canada, NOW!

+ TRIX_BOL on August 15th, 2008 at 3:11 pm said:

I wish we get South Park.
I love it! keep the good work SONY and PSN.

Feel free to add me PSN: TRIX_BOL

+ Sentry on August 15th, 2008 at 3:17 pm said:

The Riches!!! YES!

Great update for the video store.

+ cmargary on August 15th, 2008 at 3:24 pm said:

@TRIX_BOL

Yesss… we really need south park and about the rental from Frito is sooo true… needs at least 3 days of rental.

+ ShadowBlade on August 15th, 2008 at 3:32 pm said:

How’s Xam’D 11 and 17, Oh it Epsiode 1 and 2

+ leimeisei on August 15th, 2008 at 3:34 pm said:

@Everyone who wants South Park

Comedy Central is pretty heavily involved right now with a certain rival service (Xbox Live) and I think they have an exclusivity deal for some time. So I can’t see any of Comedy Central’s content coming to PSN any time soon. But if it did, It’d be great because I’d like South Park, The Colbert Report, Daily Show, oh and that movie… Team America World Police. Pretty sure CC owns that.

+ CowboyDan on August 15th, 2008 at 3:35 pm said:

@36

Good points, but you can’t use Netflix on the 360 yet (that feature is scheduled for “late fall”).

I am hoping that the following will happen:

1. Google will either buy Hulu.com or start their own competing service.

2. The Sony / Google love that has been going on gives PS3 and PSP users direct access through a client that is installed directly on the machine (allowing to view full screen, etc…).

It is totally possible that this will happen by fall. : – )

+ The_Linux_Crew on August 15th, 2008 at 3:41 pm said:

I agree with FritoZ. PSN needs to be competitive with other services. Unlimited HD downloads for a monthly fee would be a great start and make PSN more competitive with XBL. You may even find that some people will buy the PS3 just so they can download movies whenever they want. Why would I download an HD movie for $6 when I can rent unlimited BR movies from Blockbuster for the price of three movies from PSN?

+ Prototype69 on August 15th, 2008 at 3:42 pm said:

We need alot more anime :P

+ Nito025 on August 15th, 2008 at 3:43 pm said:

YES I AGREE!!! MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION TO THE VIDEO STORE IS NEEDED! I AM YET TO RENT ANY MOVIES DUE TO THE PRICING AS WELL AS THE 24 HOUR LIMITATION ON VIEWING IT! I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE VIDEO STORE AS LONG AS THE VIEWING AND PRICING PLANS WERE CHANGED!….ON THE OTHER HAND, GREAT UPDATE!!! DEF SOME GOOD CONTENT THERE! UNFORTUNATELY THE DEAL BETWEEN WARNER BROS AND THE OTHER SYSTEM ARE KIND OF A DRAG…GUESS WE PROBABLY WON’T BE SEEING THE DARK KNIGHT ON THE VIDEO STORE!!…ALTHO WE WILL HAVE BLU-RAY! WOOO HOOO

+ OddyOh on August 15th, 2008 at 3:48 pm said:

Add my vote for Canada, I assume this is being worked on?? I’m THIS close to buying an AppleTV, Mr. Sony-man…don’t make me do it!

+ Nitrowolf2 on August 15th, 2008 at 3:55 pm said:

Ok some sort of subsciption is needed.
And as for the renal time, why not have it for days like most other places and also have it so you can view them any time durinng those seven day even after the 24hours activation. i just say take that off. Possily have like some sort of amount you can check out b4 you can rent another one along with a monthly fee.
i dont know but im sure you guys will work something out
