Sony, iTunes and Zune have a great selection. I just wish all 3 of them used a unified DRM so I can use their content on any device, since I'm not sure of any portable players Zune videos run on other than Windows Phones. I don't plan to buy another Apple device on a while so iTunes is out of the question (Though iTunes has the best selection). Sony doesn't have as much content up here so it's not worth for me to invest in it.

Well Zune isnt going to be supported for too many more years. it is being replaced by Xbox Music.

Haven't used it, but it seems very similar the video section of the PSN store. Can't really compare it to anything else (and why you'd want to replace it with your DVR which should cost you $0).

Cable TV is like $100 a month for me.  A subcription for HBO, Showtime, Starz alone cost $14 a month.  So you can do the math on all that and you will understand why.

And Ill look at the PS3 list tonight although I dont think PSN offers channels like ESPN, AMC, HBO, Starz etc.  although Im not sure but ill check tonight

I think HBO (which you still have to pay for, no matter what platform) is on everything nowadays. You're paying way too much for cable. I pay $50 for 300 channels (100+ in HD) and 2 DVRs. With all the sporting events I watch, I can't imagine not paying for cable.

I've never used Xbox Video. Is it like pay per view?


I guess you could say that, but you can own something.  When you buy something you choose in SD or HD and then it is yours . You can rent them as well though

Sounds like Amazon Video.

Consider yourself lucky.  Let me know when your 1 year deal runs out and they jack up your rates.  Most markets in the USA are shit for cable and they charge outrageous rates due to having a monopoly on the market.  I just use Netflix and Hulu+ for my TV watching needs.  If they offered a la carte pricing then I would perhaps pay 20 dollars for 20 channels or something like that but that will never happen...

a la carte is coming.

I have netflix as well, but I refuse to pay for Hulu+. No streaming service should have built in commericials to every piece of content.

As for my cable, it'll go up to $63 after one year, but I still don't think that's very unreasonable.

They used to separate everything by networks before on PSN.  I haven't been able to find that in the new store.  But the content should still be there.  That said PSN is still behind in Canada, not sure about U.S.
