Earlier this year Sony registered a domain called PSNAdvertising.com, though at the time it led nowhere. However, that’s changed as a little digging from our Tuffcub found that the domain redirects users to OnlineSPT.com, a site that is aimed at advertisers. However that wasn’t the most interesting discovery made while looking around the site.

One of the opportunities listings refers to something called Original Series, with the description reading:

From the #1 studio worldwide, Sony Pictures, comes a series of original shows ranging from comedy to reality to sports. PlayStation Productions is dedicated to bringing high quality, professionally produced content to the PlayStation Network. Sponsorship and product integration opportunities are available upon request.

The mystery as to why PSNAdvertising was originally registered by Sony Pictures looks to be a lot clearer now, as it looks like the company is preparing to bring various shows to PSN via PlayStation Productions, which are likely to be supported through product placement  and other advertising.

We’ve contacted Sony for further comment.

like The Tester =P

I enjoyed that!

Original shows? Hmm They should localize the Parappa TV show that only came out in Japan

and Ape Escape

And so it begins, advertising on Playstation :). Sony is really starting to look at monetizing PSN, and it's about time.

Yes, they announced this at E3. Nothing new.

Me too.

I wonder if that will be available in Europe.

good, even if some who want "only gaming" will complain about how that shouldn't be part of a console and how that is money wasting even if they do it to make even more money and not to have less money for games production. same with xbox where i don't understand why people think microsoft has less money for games if they invest in other stuff since they do it to make more money and not to make less money.

it's not like "we have 2 billion, we invest all in games or split it between games, movies, tv and music"

MS and Sony should just basically announce now that they will be doing the exact same thing as each other for the rest of the gen, lol.
