In a new post on the official PlayStation blog, Sony Computer Entertainment America's Peter Dille, Senior Vice President of Marketing and PlayStation Network, talked a bit about the recently relaunched PlayStation Store and the momentum behind PS3 this year. "Our primary goal with PlayStation Network is to form an evolving entertainment network where the PlayStation community can gather and discover new forms of entertainment. Some of the key pillars that will make this an experience a success are: The PlayStation community; Free online gaming; Digital media download services; and Original content," he said.
Dille also touched upon the consumers' requests for a TV and movie service to compete with Xbox Live Video Marketplace. "Many of you have been hearing rumblings about a video service that will allow you to download full-length TV shows and movies via PlayStation Network for North America. While I don't have any new announcements here for the PlayStation Nation, it's already been confirmed that we'll be offering a video service for PS3 in a way that separates the service from others you've seen or used," he commented. "Ultimately the goal of the PlayStation Network service will be to break through the overwhelming clutter of digital media to give you the TV, movies and gaming content you want. More on this very soon ..."
Many PS3 owners have been clamoring for in-game XMB access similar to how Xbox friends lists and other features can be checked in-game. "We know you want in-game access to XMB features and we're committed to bringing that, among other community-related services this year," Dille confirmed. "They will be designed to allow more community development and collaborative gameplay, as well as recognize and reward you for your gameplay accomplishments across a broad portfolio of PS3 games."
Additionally, for PS3 players who don't want to use credit cards online, Dille announced that Sony is preparing to launch PlayStation Cards to retailers nationwide. Starting this spring, consumers will be able to pick up PlayStation Cards with values of $20 and $50.
