Battlestar Galactica (and other NBC shows) now available on the PlayStation Store

Eventually. The reason it came to the U.S. first is because the U.S. IS the biggest market. It came to Japan second because Japan was considered the second biggest market. The trick about the video store is that when SCEA or SCEJ obtains the rights/license to put certain content on the video store, it is ONLY covers the U.S. in SCEA's case, Japan in SCEJ's case. Movie and Television companies are EXTRMELY picky and want their stuff region locked and licensed region by region. We do not see a video store yet in Europe because SCEE has to license TV and movies for each and every single European country seperately. It also hurts by the fact many shows/movies are distributed by different companies and different countries, where some companies will let you put it in the video store while some will not. That is why it took the XBL Video Marketplace longer to get to Europe because of the complex licensing in every single region. Without a doubt it will come to Europe, but it will take time (Canada and other regions will get it too).

Don't blame Sony for the complex licensing process, blame the movie/television companies who absolutely enforce region locking and licenses to be dependent on country.

I agree with Mana Knight.

Now it might not go to every country in Europe. It might just be UK and such.

But there is no european store.. it's one store for Germany, one for UK, one for Austria...

Maybe that's the problem.. smaller markets.

No love for Canada either :_(

Not when you want to watch a series from Season 1 to the present. Hulu is great but it is very unorganized in terms of full content.

"Free HULU just doesnt work that great when your not in the us"

Neither does trying to get video content from the Playstation Store.
