10:45PM Mark Wilson | I’m not sure how many of you are buying (aka not renting) movies from Sony’s PlayStation 3 video store, but to those who are willing to drop $US15 on a permanent, DRM’d digital product, know that Sony only allows you to redownload these products one time. More »

However, it appears that Sony will not allow the same exploit for movie downloads. Some of Kotaku’s non-US contingent tried downloading a movie from the US store and found that, nope. Sony isn’t having it. It’s not a huge surprise, but at least a few of us were hoping that Sony would leave their easy regional purchasing exploit there for films. [Kotaku] More »
