Hot on the heels of 360 rumours, claims emerge that Sony’s VOD service will launch in early 2008
Yesterday MCV reported that Microsoft looks set to unleash the European version of Xbox 360 video on demand service by the end of the year – and today news arrives that Sony’s PS3 equivalent could be with us just weeks later.
Though there’s still no mention of a possible date for the European service, Variety reports that the Japanese VOD service will arrive in early 2008.
Initially it will offer primarily motor racing related content to tie in with the release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue – including a documentary about the Nissan GT-R and episodes of BBC’s Top Gear. Prices are estimated to be around 90p a download.

Amazing!!
Great.....
£425 to watch old episodes of Top Gear.
What a bargain...... (-_-)
Come on Sony, sort it out.....
Re: Amazing!!
Pack it in - that pricing's got little to do with Sony and much more to do with the license-holder. Xbox Live video downloads aren't much better - a quid an episode or more for the HD versions. iTunes is even worse
What's the intention here?
I don't get Sony or Microsoft's intentions here.
Are they trying to compete with traditional TV/cable vendors or just creating more useless content to add to those that traditional TV/cable vendors provide?
If it's games-related content, then can't we just have REAL games-related content, like developer interviews, previews etc? surely those who want Top Gear get the DVD or download it from a torrent or something?
So will we get tortured with fishing programmes if Sega release SeaBass for PS3?!
And where does the TV modulator unit that's coming out for the PS3 fit in?
Isn't all this confusing customers and steering the PS3 into uncharted territories and diluting gaming?
