It will may well be possible to watch Blu-Ray/DVD content with friends, the content (or even Lair gameplay) can be streamed to a PSP as well. But on a PSP or if so within Home the streaming quality won't be of Blu-Ray quality, the PS3 decodes the Blu-Ray content and then probably significantly downgrades the video's audio and resolution so the content can be streamed and viewed by others.

Would still be a great feature to have though (sharing video files stored on the harddrive is confirmed), youtube is very popular despite the sucky quality, producing much better quality than youtube quality should be possible to achieve, gametrailers.com quality perhaps.

If they can do it, cool. I just don't see it a feature anyone would use. I could see putting movies clips like youtube in your house for people to watch. But these are typically short clips.

Streaming a two hour movie to watch with one other household just seems like something I couldn't see people doing.

I certainly prefer full quality in a low light room myself especially for visually impressive or tense movies like Lords of the Ring, thrillers, etc, but I can still imagine interesting uses. For instance while having conversations with people inside your home and then put on a CD or DVD/Blu-Ray concert, playing music and/or video in the background to create a nice atmosphere. Maybe to instantly discuss a documentary with people from different parts of the world who are also interested in the topic at hand.

The usefulness will probably vary depending on content, but having the option I agree would be cool.
