United States does have a movie store on the PSN.

The ps3 is updated through firmware so the blu-ray functions the Ps3 has right now are close to what blu-ray players are being sold with. And will continue getting updated if need be.

Other than that be more specific





hello how are you.

ok thanks.

How is the movie store?
is it downloaded directly to your hard drive?
i am guessing they are in high def?
what kind of movies do they have up there right now?
how often do they update the store with new movies?
what are the prices?
and about how long does it take to download them?

1) Very good

2) Yes. As opposed to?

3) Some are in high def. All can be upscaled. All are available in Standard Definition.

4) All sorts.

5) Every week I believe

6) Around 2 bucks for SD, 3 for HD, you can rent and buy, rent is cheaper.

7) I don't know. I don't live in the USA :(

And yes, the PS3 is an excellent console and entertainment system, go for it. Look at the stickied "PS3 Best Games Guide" for game recommendations in each genre.

PS3 is the best Blu-Ray player as it's always the first to get the latest updates. #1 reason i bought one



PS3's pretty much the best option around, especially since it's firmware upgradable wifi/wired. And you have access to the PSN movie store.
