Yey! Sony have just announced that the PSN movie rental and purchase store is going live tomorrow.
Pricing is pretty good, 1.99 Euros for rentals and 7.99 Euros for purchases.
HD films are limited to rentals at the moment, but they're giving you 14 days to keep it and 48 hours to watch, plus you can transfer to PSP to watch on the go.
2000 films at launch including Star Trek and Transformers 2. New PS3 owners starting a new PSN account from tomorrow through to Friday will get Transformers to keep for free and anyone buying Angels and Demons will get a free copy of The Da Vinci Code to keep.

DRM is strict with this. You get the download and the ability to activate it on one PSP system. If for some reason you need another copy - ie replacement PS3 or formatted hard drive, you can contact Sony and they will give you ONE final chance.

Nothing yet on whether they can be transferred to other sources (other than the PSP)
That would be great, what are the UK prices likely to be? I'm guessing no different from the european price because we're always getting screwed.
Is there any word about DRM? I would be reluctant to buy HD movies if I can't keep them for good but renting it's not a problem at all.

Hah, yes, you should ;)
Yes, the 360 already has rentals in HD (only 720p but hoping to provide higher quality soon though) and SD.
The PS3 will provide rentals and films to buy as well, it will be more the films to buy that I'd be interested in and then only when they get the licence for the HD ones to keep.
But it's the ability to watch on PSP that interests me most and may sway me to renting a few movies so I can watch them on the bus on the way home from work.

Will you be using it much pb? I would probably use it for the rentals. Although is this really good news? ISP have been taking steps back with traffic shaping (I don't think Freeola do, which is good) whats going to happen when millions of PS3s are suddenly able to download HD movies every other day. Or does the 360 already do this? I really should do some research before I asks questions.
