After all the speculation comes the real thing... Very soon, PS3 owners will be able to download Sony music and TV shows on their consoles.

According to reports, Sony has revealed plans to start a service, wherein PS3 owners will be offered movies, music, HD and standard definition TV for download.

The news follows the launch of PS3 in Europe, with an Australia launch planned in March this year. The console was first launched in North America and Japan in November 2006.

Now, Microsoft's Xbox 360 has already launched its video download service, Xbox Live, in November 2006. Several other video download services are also compatible with the console.

While PS3 packs a Blu-ray player, Xbox 360 comes with an add-on HD DVD option.

So, both companies are following the oft beaten track of projecting their consoles as more than just gaming devices...

It's worth mentioning that for the IPTV services on the XBox360, you need to buy the new V2 XBox360, codenamed Zephyr, as IPTV is not available on the current 10 million 360's..

Sony is Offering this service with its OWN sony BMG music there for the Record Industry Association of America Cannot File Suit. Sony has rights to music and I am sure they will still support the artist that they have signed with royalties. And knowing Sony the music won't be FREE
