Video store... whereisityo?

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

This service will only get better; this is just the beginning. I'll probably watch Rocky IV in HD someday and Dances With Wolves.

I for one think this is actually pretty cool for the rental side of things. as well as tv shows. i will definately be using this. thanks sony way to deliver.

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

This new feature is pretty neat. C'mon Sony expand the HD section!

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

I completely underestimated the power of Sony. This is so very underrated.

rentals are as expected. good for 14 days, good for 24 hours after first playback

Now they need to create a flat rate subscription (Similar to Netflix or BB) and release new titles every week.

yeah..only way i do this is for a flat fee. way too expensive. especially considering all these newer shows should be available in hd.

i see 53 hd movies..some really strange ones too.. wargames? really? haha

but good job sony, i'm way happier about this release than i thought i'd be

wait a minute, so you can only watch the film once? unless you cram another viewing in 24 hours after the initial viewing? you can't just watch it anytime you want for up to 14 days?

Estimate... How many movies? I don't have my ps3... in for repair, and apparently it's not in Canada yet

watch as many times as you want..in 24 hours. but its good to sit on your ps3 for 14 days (assuming you haven't watched it, obviously)

theres 53 hd's. easily triple that total. more than that i'm sure but the way they have it set up makes it difficult to browse

Yep, it's the same as Xbox Live's movie rental system (save for the pay to own)... Basically, we pay essentially $6 for an HD version ($3 for SD), and before you hit the "continue with purchase" it tells you that the movie is available for : 14 days from the day of download, or 24 hours from the time you hit the play button.

You kind of get used to it.. I don't do the whole movie thing all too often, so it doesn't effect me much (I prefer my movies on Blu).. I do however purchase MANY TV shows.. Those are yours once you purchase.. Is it the same with the PSN?

seems like anything you buy to own, is yours to do as you will. but at 2 bucks a pop for an sd episode...no thank you

I don't buy pay per view movies either.

Its just like renting from a store and returning it after a period of time.
