I was importing my CDs onto my PS3 and noticed it's compatible with AAC, which is of course the default iTunes format.

So I got to thinking, how crazy cool would it be if iTunes came to PS3? And it wouldn't be entirely out of the realm of poosibility, Sony and Apple are both MS rivals. And we all know, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Ahhh if I was in charge of Sony for a day I'd so call Steve Jobs and set this up.

Except that Apple completely brought down Sony's market on portable music players in one swift stroke. It depends on the nature of the business.

Sony and MS are great Allies when it comes to selling laptops with MS Windows installed.

= Snapple? Mmm, I'm thirsty now.

as an apple fan it would urk me to no end to see itunes on the ps3 as supported by apple and not some linux hacking.... with all the attempts that sony put to force apple out and push its own format... i always liked acc, and since apple adopted it, it seems more and more devises use it now if apple would support .ogg

apple and sony are far more rivals than ms and apple now adays as much as that pains me to say. Apple makes money from hardware not software, the software is there so you buy their hardware. so sony is someone i do not see apple doing a deal with.

Ms also makes a good deal of money off of apples stock preforming well, if you remember they bought some stock when apple was at its worst when jobs just came back.

also apple could buy sony (though their loss leading hardware format dose not suite apples normal margin)... yes all of sony, only IBM and MS are bigger than apple now a days... and IBM by a very small margin...

always thought apple should have bought the Big N before the wii came out there were lots of rumors that jobs flew to japan and so forth to talk about it.

You mean like Motorola allied with Apple to get iTunes? You got to love how Apple completely screwed over Motorola and pretty much destroyed their phone business while at the same time working on their own phone, all while being 'allies'.

Be careful of what you ask for, you may just get it.

@fishyjoe thats just payback for motorola screwing up the G4 processor line...

though from what ive heard their engineers basically screwed the company over, and marketing did not help...

People seem to forget that Sony makes things other then video games, their not exactly chums with Apple. Apple dominates the portable music player industry wich used to belong to Sony, and now their bot comepting in the phone business. Gaming is not all they do. Nintendo is the only 100% gaming company out of the big 3, the others all have their toes in another pool.

It's quite possible... not really itunes... but some of the services and content intergrated in the store. And also some better iPod connectivity options like the 360.

Isn't an online music video service already coming to PS3?

well the iphone isn't yet even 1% market share :P
