[USA] TV Channels coming to the PS3?

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

We have all heard of a PSN movie service in the works. But never anything about TV shows. Until now.

If you watch closely on the PS Store downloadable video ?What You Need? you can see an image of a listing of TV channels. Some of the channels that can be seen are as follows:

HBO, NBC, Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network, CBS, and MTV.

There are more but they are hard to make out.

Europe has PlayTV coming, so it's only natural to think America is getting something similar?

I would think with the sheer amount of channels (and sheer amount of crap TV) it would take some time to get all the licenses in order to make it viable.

If it does come to the US, it'll be late 2009 if at all.

I like the ad. Hope sony delivers.

Why only the US? Why not Canada as well?

Why only the US? Why not Canada as well?

All because of licencing rights, if you knew how much money is made by licencing rights to Canada, you would understand

also because most of those tv stations are not permitted to broadcast in Canada, CRTC rules.

And people think Canada is a free & democratic country. :alien:

Looks more like a Video Store than TV channels.

The layout is exactly the same as the new Playstation Store we got only a bit ago.

And looking at the top pic, I'm pretty sure the bottom left of the image it says "store" but mirrored and upside down, cant see what the word in front is suppose to be though.
