espn wont be free on ps3 if it ever comes to the system because sony will make it for psn members only. i think sony will move more towards the way xbl is structured with its psn service. i will be getting xbl gold very soon and i am very content to pay the price for the great service i am getting in return.


sony has recently gone into partnership with google to deliver all hardware for googletv.  if the ps3 has all necessary hardware to run googletv (which is very likely) all they would need to do was release a patch to put android onto ps3's and googletv would be reality for the ps3

we already know that sony is working with android for their phones, tvs, and standalone boxes, perhaps they are working with android for their ps3s?  it would put googles googletv on 41 million more devices, pushing googletv pretty darn far


Sony just removed Linux from the PS3; I'm not sure they are going to put another OS on their systems. Besides that, I can't see any way that ESPN will get on without any cost. ESPN is a huge money maker for Disney, there is no way I can see them offering it's programming for free. They do not need the publicity nor are they desperate to extend their coverage.

 

some people already think that google tv is in the works for ps3, google tv's platform is ran on android, but it is possible that they develop it for the ps3.

microsoft is going the route that cable providers go through to get espn for x360 (it costs a little more than 4$ per subscriber, per month for cable providers eg. comcast), googletv is pretty much sidestepping that whole process
