Kidding me???? It's on everything but PSN....... Effing Sony.
And to the people complaining about the $6 rental, go kills yourselfs.

Well maybe in case their services could get hacked from releasing it on psn? Maybe xbox live will go done and psn will stay which would be genius move by sony.

I would lose respect for Sony if they intentionally did that. Having fierce competition is one thing, but to use the competition as a test dummy to see if they are hacked is another thing. No telling what can happen.

Also for PSN folks, this sucks because they can't see the movie on PSN. That's crazy! Better be free on PS Plus. Hahaha I'm kidding about the last part.

This is why I think they're losing money. More than 1 person usually goes to the theater together which brings in more money. But renting it for $6 for 24 hours gives the opportunity for a full family to watch it multiple times.

You're looking from one angle. I see it from another: They are making an extra $6, because a family that paid $6 for the download would not have gone to the movies at all and spent $30-50.

$50 for a family of four is a lot of money for a potentially bad movie, but for $6 they'll take the risk. At least, if the movie sucks, they don't have to walk out and drive back home, they can just press Stop and go to bed.

What about the guy and his girlfriend or husband and wife who wanted to see it for a date? Now they don't have to spend that money, they can just spend $6 and watch it at their place. Or a group of 18-23 year old friends in college who like seeing movies in a group?

The family thing was just using his example. No parents are taking their kids to see this movie anyways.

The movie cost 40m, it's not Spider-man or any thing. It's a Seth Rogen stoner comedy. It'll be fine.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
