An executive of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. said in an interview that the company was going to launch movie download service for the PlayStation 3 owners, which should allow them to acquire new content without buying DVDs or Blu-ray discs. The move will also make the PlayStation 3 console an entertainment machine rather than a pure game console.

“I think PlayStation 3 needs to stand for gaming and digital entertainment in the living room pushing the envelope of high definition, pushing the envelope of broadband, and of course that includes more than just games. We don’t have the announcements that you're probably looking for today, but it is digital data. We have a hard drive, we have a commerce engine, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out we will have that on the network very shortly,” said Phil Harrison the president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, in an interview with 1UP web-site.
