(E3) PS3 will have downloadable videos

Deathsythe | July 16, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 Playstation Portable E3 2008 Company

Sony announced yesterday that the new version of Home will have new video renting/purchasing capabilities integrated with the Playstation Store.

Better yet - they can be transferred to your PSP!

Unveiling the new Home, Sony revealed that video rentals and purchases are finally coming to the PS3. Video will be fully integrated into the PlayStation Store, which will have a new video section. And you can transfer them to your PSP via USB, and have them on multiple devices at once! Standard and high def, with rentals running $3-$6 and $10-$15 for purchases. It takes about an hour to download a two-hour movie. Most of the major studios are on board (Kotaku has a partial list in their liveblog), and it goes live tonight!

Great, but I'd still like video-recording capability.

  I don't see how they would pull that off since the PS3 as no audio/video inputs. Unless they managed something via USB.
  
  Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea for a third party device. Time to hit the patent office.

Wait... does this go live everywhere tonight or only in the US?

Just the US I think, it's not on the UK store.
