Live from CES…well, we’re not actually at CES, but our younger, better-looking brother Engadget is. He says that Sony’s just announced from the show floor that a new “Sony Connect” download service will go online in March to provide “movies and new titles” for download. This isn’t completely unexpected – Sony built DRM into the latest version of the PSP firmware and has had a TV download site in Japan for awhile. But it’s good news that finally somebody is offering full-length movie downloads, even if playback is somewhat limited by Sony’s DRM. What really has me drooling is the “…new titles” that Sony mentioned. Could this be mini-games, like the new XBox Live offers? Maybe they’re still just talking about movies or maybe they’re talking about some lamo viodeothingycasts that everyone’s abuzz about these days. I suppose we’ll get the details soon enough, but tonight I will dream of PS1 titles and hope that dawn brings Sony support for indy developers…
