Last week, Sony held a big media event in Sydney to showcase their latest lineup of Bravia TVs. During the presentation, a clip of Jack Ford, executive Vice President and MD of Sony Pictures Television was shown. And he hinted at the most wonderful things…In particular, he made the statement:
“I’d also expect that within the next 12-18 months that High Definition film and television content will be available through the Playstation Network.”
We’ve been watching the US enjoy HD movie and TV content via Xbox Live and the Playstation Network for years now, and all we’ve heard to date locally is that it’s something that is being looked into. Sure, the 12-18 month timeframe is as good as saying “sometime in the future”, but it’s the closest thing we’ve got to a release date yet.
We’ll try and get some more on this in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
Here’s the clip:

I would be interested, except for the fact that Apple has already introduced movies and tv shows in Australia. All i can say for Microsoft and Sony, is get your act together

Get on with the PlayTV! Sony is way over deadline with that puppy. Promised it months to years ago. Sheeeesh.
