PlayStation Network Expanding To Involve Other Devices

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday January 6, 2010 @07:44PM from the making-toasters-smarter dept.

At CES, Sony's Kaz Hirai confirmed that the company will build out its PlayStation Network for use with other devices, such as televisions, Blu-ray players, and PCs. Quoting: "... the expansion starts next month with the availability of the PSN video store on these other devices, and Hirai explained they are constructing a mechanism to create a single user ID across the entire network (if you have a PSN account, it's good to go on any other applicable Sony device, and if you create one on another device, it'll work on PSN). And finally, Hirai also announced the formation of a new Sony division — called Sony Network Entertainment, Inc. — to drive this expansion of the PSN service into a Sony-wide network."

I for one welcomed our new SNES overlords, until I realized it stood for Sony Network Entertainment (Subsidiary).

I'm going to go the other video rental services that don't require signing up for an account!

Don't worry, Sony has a long history of avoiding DRM in their products.
