  • Looks like a good update!

  • Looks like a good update! I can’t wait for the store to release in Canada. I’m trying to get my parents to stop buying movies constantly and rent them instead. =P

  • Anyone heard of when it’ll be released in Canada?

  • WHERE IS OPTIONAL SUBTITLE?!?!?!? COME ON!!! Get around to that, PLEASE?

  • WARNING: DO NOT buy any video content from the PSN if you think you ps3 will ever break. My “original” ps3 went south recently, and since it was out of warrenty I decided to purchase a new model instead of getting my old one repaired. I found out that the only way to “de-activate” a ps3 is on that ps3 itself.. so if its broken, you can NEVER deactivate it. I had already recycled my original ps3 (in an environmentally friendly way) before I found this out. I was told “you should have spent the $200 to get it repaired, there is nothing we can do”. I was flabbergasted… I can NEVER EVER download and watch ANY video content on my ps3 ever again! It let me purchase a video, but once they had my money I had no way to download it. And I NEVER will. That is what gets me, the “you are out of luck FOREVER” thing. I had been planning on buying my son a PSP Go! for Christmas and downloading all of the Star Wars Clone Wars for him to watch on it (along with some games). But I will NEVER be able to do this for him. Thanks, Sony!!!

  • By the way Sony, I will be posting the above comment every week on here. And I have been posting it on every ps3 website I can find. As much as I love my ps3, this one issue has ruined it for me. The “It Just Does Everything” isn’t true in my case anymore.

  • Thanks for the updates! I was wondering, why have you stopped access to the video store through the PSP? I just logged in with my PSPgo about 10 minutes ago to get UP! and the video button no longer shows in the PlayStation Store home page. Just wondering, thanks!

  • Soul Plane is NOT a classic.

  • @klep – u should be able to unless u game shared with someone else. They allow u 2 downloads per movie/episode so I would think it would still work. U should be able to redownload everything but this is the reason why I backup my ps3 every few months so I don’t lose anything just in case. Sorry to hear that man keep calling sony. Are u using the same account from your old ps3?

  • Oh by the way they can reset it they normally just refuse too because game sharing is so rampant. Maybe the video and game activation and deactivation is different. The refused to reset mine when I told them I had multiple ps3s a few months ago

  • I would like to see what new anime has released from here since I can’t tell by looking at the names of the episodes.
    @6 – I now deactivate my refurbished (launch model) PS3 after i’m done playing downloaded games in case my PS3 decides to fail. I also eject the disc after i’m done playing but this only lessens the chance of losing a game or system activation due to “YLoD”.

  • @9 uhh yes it is.. snoop dog flying a plane with hydraulics… nothing is more classic than that. :P

  • Mister Chen, im sure alot of people ask you this but at least can you give a date or a year this service will become available for the canada(quebec) please you guy lose money lol. Take care and keep up the good work.

  • Great update! I thought you meant movies for sale starting at $1.99, but you meant rental price starting at $1.99, right?

    @ #6 KlepDog: Are you saying that you bought stuff from the video store, downloaded it, than your PS3 broke? You can backup your PS3 in case it does break, for future referance. You can also copy videos that you buy on to a PSP.

  • Any chance we’ll be getting ABC’s Lost on PSN?

  • There’s something that really, REALLY bothers me about the Video Store interface for some reason. The “Popular Movies” box on the right, there’s this huge gap to the left of all of the movie titles. It looks really bad from a design/UI point of view.

    The Game Store has dates in that spot, but since there are not dates associated with those movies, you end up with a strange looking empty space.

    I’m sure it’s not priority, but please fix that. Add in release dates or move the titles over or something.

  • stop beating around the bush and give us premium avatars

  • I can only hope that the EU video store is this awesome when it is hopefully finaly released some time this month aparently

  • You can now backup the movies thanks to a firmware update. But since the DRM you can only restore to the PS3 that downloaded it. So your breaks and you get a refurbished unit. It won’t work. Video AFAIK is limited to one PS3. You can clear it out but not redownload. They admitted the short sidedness of this. I think they allow you to call and get the video downloads reset once as a courtesy, but only once and you have to call.

  • hey Grace , i have a question is there any way to re download a movie that you bought from the PS store , i bought a movie a couple of days ago and i erased it by mistake but i dont see any option to re download it again , please answer my question , thank you

  • Its off topic but thought I’d like to share to you that:

    FINAL FANTASY XIII IS RELEASING IN THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE ON:

    MARCH, 9, 2010! That’s like 5 months earlier than first expected.

    Just check the EU blog and the trailer ;)

  • thanks Onna

  • @6 if you call Sony, they will deactivate the system for you. I know, because I had to do that myself.w

    peace,
    CR

  • I like the “Free new arrivals” section. Thanks!

  • They should just disable the comments section on the video store updates because of all the whiners. Where’s the bitter Canadians?

  • Oh boy, now I gotta head out to 7-Eleven for yet ANOTHER $20 PSN card. I’ve resorted to going to several different 7-Elevens just to hide my purchasing habits…

  • its sad the game section of the store cant update like this. its always 9 or 10 in the evening here on the east coast.what gives?

  • @29 Well to be fair, the video store updates throughout the week. The Friday post is just a collection of what has already been added since the last post. At least I think that’s how it works.

  • It’s sad that Canada still doesn’t have access to the video store. I don’t think it’s that hard to implement it. So many companies are doing it…

  • Wait… Ong Bak is in English??? Bleh.

  • i hope that you guys will put Star Trek up on the movies on Tuesday the 17th. I really wanna watch this

  • Just a suggestion. Maybe you should point out the $1.99 price point is for SD rental.
    I like turtles.

  • So after telling myself I could care less about the video store, I just had to download Breaking Bad season 2. I guess you should be jealous, Canada!

  • I know this is off topic, but just wanted to say the Netflix service that was just added to the PS3 is awesome! I got my disc last night and checked it out. Was very surprised at the quality, selection, and user interface.

    Thanks for adding this FREE (minus Netflix account)feature. I could see myself using this frequently.

    Man the PS3 is rollin!

  • I did get the dreaded “Yellow Ring”, and had backed up my videos. The problem is, my new ps3 is not “Activated” to play or download anything. And I can’t activate it because my broken system is the activated one. Keep in mind, this is VIDEO only. I had no issues re-downloading all of my purchased game content. I am using the same account I have had since day one.

  • Not much I care for this week, but noting Hannibal is on there I might have to see if it’s at a reasonable price.

  • It says that Clone Wars: Weapon Factory is coming to the PS Store, but that episode doesn’t air until later today (Friday). Is that a mistake?

  • Grace,

    Any word when the 24fps judder issue will be fixed? This has been narrowed to the PS3’s video player, and some acknowledgment that the issue has been reproduced internally would be nice.

    To re-state the problem: downloaded and streaming videos encoded at 24fps are forced into 30fps playback by the PS3’s video player, resulting in a video artifact known as judder. (Automatic 3:2 detection is somehow circumvented on TVs that support it, as well.) Multiple people have reported this, and all of us can view 24fps Blu-ray titles without the judder motion artifact. This affects SD and HD content on both the PSN Video Store and Netflix.

    Please, please acknowledge this issue and provide estimations/recommendations for a workaround or fix.

    Thanks!

  • Looks like Sony has a few problems to fix (see above comments).

  • Grace…

    I have been asking you this for over a year…off and on…for once time it was weekly for 4 mos straight.

    Since you will not comment on a fix to the DRM situation perhaps you could do some CUSTOMER SERVICE and actually write a blog post about what you can and cannot do with Video content.

    As seen in this thread…many people think the backup function will rescue you from a borked machine. It emphatically does not yet the perception is out there.

    Please do your customers, who continue to support you and your company, the favour of CLEARY stating what some of us are painfully aware of.

    : If you buy video content and your system goes in for repairs you will lose your video content and the SONY Terms of Service state that SONY is under absolutely no obligation to assist recovering what may be hundreds of dollars worth of content. The backup function does not help this situation one iota :

  • Canadians are waiting!

  • You want this in canada? Sign the petition:

    http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/psnvideo/

    PS: Grace Chen, could you make a “news” for canadians about this petition, “I stopped saying “canada” each time because of this petition, it’s the best way for sony to see really want a video store in canada too. Thanks anyway.

  • @ 27

    if you don;t like it when we reply

    CANADA !

    or

    What about Canada ? ETC….

    don’t come to the blog

    Your Truly

    A Canadian :D

  • As another Canadian, I mimic wanting a damn video store.

    Either that or remove the stupid store icon from the video section my PS3. No point in wasting space on my XMB when I can’t friggin’ use the thing.

  • our video service is way better than netflix. I have use the free trial on netflix and thought it was weak . Whats the point of not being able to stream new arrivals .Only way you can get new arrivals is through a dvd or blu ray .
