Sky Player heading to PS3?

MCV Staff 30th October 2009 Business News

Microsoft is planning to make lots of noise about its recently released (though temporarily troubled) Xbox 360 Sky Player service – but the signs are that PS3 owners may soon be getting some of the action, too.

Speaking to VideoGamer, Sky’s director of On Demand Griff Parry said of PS3 Sky Player: It may very well happen in the future.”

If the deal does come to fruition, it would drastically increase PS3’s multimedia credentials – Sony’s console already sports one of the best versions of the iPlayer on the market and is of course the only machine capable of playing hi-def Blu-ray movies.

Alongside the console Sky and iPlayer services, Netflix is also expected to in the near future announce a deal with Nintendo, meaning that movie rental service will be available on all three current-gen home console in North America.
