Deliver upon me some original Adam's Family, I'm all about that bitch.
Also, REALLY? We're still ranting on DL speeds? Maybe I currently live in some magic pocket where 1+GB demos come to me in about 20 minutes but based on some other friends claims, apparently not. Hell, HSG2 was less than 4 minutes as a DL for me.

That's a download speed of 833 kb/s. I dunno about your net speeds, but most of us usually hit about 400-500 before topping out. Or at least, I do. :P

And when the XBox 360 wouldn't support Xvid/DivX initially, it was Major Nelson who explained that it was because only pirates and thieves use DivX.
So, the circle is complete as Major Nelson exposes the piracy cartel known as Sony.

Why the hell wold they use Divx when they could use H.264, which both the PSP and PS3 support? It makes for smaller downloads, and they could easily tie it to the PSP for watching on the go.

(looking around large white screen) WTF happened to this place?
Anyway, I actually want to meet the people who are crying about the PSN's lack of PS1 games. Really, you have a HD capable platform now. If the game was that great you'd still own it from back when you played PS1. If not, you can still get your fix by riding your brothers bike to the local game _______ and pick up a used one from that endless bin they always have and play it on your old PS1/PS2. Dont have that anymore? Then find a tall building to jump out because you got rid of it.
Either way, STFU!

yea i dont buy the PSN PS1 games since all the PS1 games i wanted back in the day, i already have or have rented to the point i dont want to play it anymore. early 3D graphics hurt my eyes now anyway. early 2D games? fine, but early 3D graphics make my eyes bleed and the upscaling doesnt make that much of a noticeable difference to me.

This is where the PS3 becomes the multimedia/videogame center. I don't have a problem with that. Personally if I could keep all my entertainment in one machine the sweeter it looks to me. Everyday I see more of a reason to pick up a PS3, but I have a long way to GTA. Things could change by then.

ok, so let me get this straight.... "to enable online retailers to offer Sony Pictures content for download-to-own on DivX Certified devices."
By this i'm guessing they mean more than just PSN like iTunes or some other company. So, if they incode it in the code that 360 can read, then this could mean the 360 could play these videos. And if not, i'm sure someone could decode it and then recode it into the format the 360 could read

Well maybe Sony can charge a fee for people that want to download video to get faster downloads going like 360. But keep the games the way they are...free. But Sony has some great TV shows they own, I dont see what the hold up is. This stuff could have been online already. PSN sucks and they need to get off their butts and make it happen and stop talking about it.

well Sony has no lack of great TV shows to offer so this is kinda cool for some. but for me, i would still rather buy the disc and rip it to my hard drive then straight up download it. you cant deny the ease of having your whole collection in one place with out having to juggle cases and such but there is just something about buying a piece of actual physical media. that could be just me though cause im sure there are plenty of people that have no problem purchasing like that, the XBL Video Marketplace and iTunes Video store are two prime examples.

This is cool but there are only a few I would ever watch. I would watch the Shield and Seinfeld and may be a few of the cartoons shows.
