TV, movie downloads launch on Xbox 360; PS3 in works




Microsoft Corp. launched a digital video download service Wednesday that lets Xbox 360 owners buy television shows and rent movies, while Sony works on a similar PlayStation 3 offering.

Launched on the console's first anniversary, Microsoft's service — available only in the United States for now — lets people with a broadband internet connection purchase standard and high-definition content through the Marketplace store on its dedicated Xbox Live network.

The move makes Microsoft the first console maker to offer such a service.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., which launched its own network with its PlayStation 3 console on Nov. 17, currently offers short video clips of movies and video games for download, but plans to increase its offerings.

"The content will grow on PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Store," Matt Levitan, marketing and public relations manager for Sony Computer Entertainment of Canada told CBC News Online. "The plan will be to have full length content and make it a one-stop shop."

Levitan said he expects to see offerings increase weekly, with more substantial content debuting before the end of the year.
