This is just the start. More will come over time. This is a good start tho.

Could be a good start. I don't see a Sony specific subscription service ever rivaling Netflix or Hulu, and even Netflix is now having a terrible time signing cable content and might eventually become attached to a cable package themselves.

now sony peeps on the count of 3 . 1 - 2 -3

bu bu bu the focus on gamers first

i said it before sonys a freakin entertainment company they will out tv microsoft 24/7 but it's ok because its sonys microsoft should focus on nothin but software right?

Anyone with half a brain knows this. After all Sony is one of the biggest players in media. But it's the approach that matters most. There’s no need to scream about TV during a console reveal, when it should come second to games. Where you audience are gamers.

No, I think you have it backwards. Sony could destroy netfix and hulu.

yes because having 10 minutes of an E3 conference and an online article about multimedia is the same as making it the first 30 minutes of your reveal of your new console and talking a bunch about it afterwards before getting to the gaming side of things.  Sony has made their main audience clear and now reassures the TV people that that will be there too it's just a given since PS3 already has most of the apps people use.

Sony owns Crackle, but they profiting because they were using profit scheme of spreading the product from one place to the other.

I don't see what the big deal is. I've had streaming cable channels and other on-demand for years on the 360 and it's been pretty nice, being able to rent a movie or whatever. Convergence is a feature.

That's kind of the same vein as believing that Microsoft (not much of a hardware or media company) would be providing more flexibility in either of those two aspects versus Sony (Almost exclusively a hardware/media company).

i dont even use IE on my PC its that terrible plus i dont like the security of IE, every time i got a virus it was through IE, now i use google chrome, no more viruses. no more trojans, IE is an aweful brouser plus dont quote me on this but you have to subscribe to XBL inorder to use IE on the 360, on playstation sonys brouser is free, no subscription required.

now with that aside you chose to ignore the subscription and instalation fees (applys to cable/sky), the prospect of internet TV would eliminate the insatalation fee so all thats needed is a subscription fee and as there is no cable/sky box that subscription fee could be less than if you had the physical cable/sky box.

MS planned to make XB one the entertainment box of your living room so you dont need multiple boxes, sony's idea goes one better but none of you see that, all you see is a few cable channels and instantly go against it, with the ps3 sony had blu-ray while MS had to go with streaming HD movies as HD-DVD sank quicker than titanic, lot of you liked/prefered the idea for streaming services so ill ask again why do you dislike what sony is doing with internet TV!.
