Sony has announced the return of its US$ 0.99 movie and TV rental program in the PlayStation Network.



Starting today, PlayStation users in the US and Canada can now rent a selection of movies and TV shows for US$ 0.99 for SD versions and US$ 1.99 for HD versions through the video section of the PlayStation Store. Then, every Tuesday thereafter, a selection of movies and TV shows will be released in the PlayStation Store at discounted prices, while the previous ones will return to their original price.

This week's selection will include:

Sicko
The Longshots
Salvage
Tony
Shank
Bonded By Blood
JFK: Reckless Youth (Part 1)
JFK: Reckless Youth (Part 2)
Deadly Blessing (Directed by Wes Craven)
Carver
Devil in the Flesh 2 (aka Teacher's Pet 2)
Illuminating Angels & Demons


Sony says that since its initial debut last July, the US$ 1.99 movie rental program has been one of the most requested features by the PlayStation Network community. Last week, Sony also unveiled its own summer arcade promotion called the PSN PLAY.

No good movies on this first batch, but this is an excellent idea. I will rent out some movies if any good ones are there for a buck.

I've already seen anime episodes on the PSN Video Store for $0.99 an episode like about a couple of weeks ago when I checked to see what was available.

If they can start putting up some good stuff or newer type stuff then this could be a really big deal.
