and I don't understand how some of you guys, that download off the PSN, takes hours for it to download. I bought a movie and I literally started streaming the movie within minutes. It was 10% downloaded by 2 minutes. Really strange. Moral of the story is don't be turned off by other forums/posts that trying to deter you from enjoying this new service because their connection is weak. 2nite I'm going to rent a movie for me and my family 2 enjoy.

It really depends on your connection, i've seen people on here whine about firmware updates taking ages to DL when i've got them in about 2mins.

I got a question about the service seeing as you've used it; do the movies support surround sound?

Unless your internet is faster than 50 M/bit a second that will make no difference on a network that has been setup correctly.

Was in SD or HD? I rented an HD movie and it took about 20min to get to 10%. Not complaining or anything:)

When you enter the store, there should be two buttons on the upper left hand side. One says Game and the other says Video. Click the video one. Took me a minute to notice it the 1st time

Thanks, i've been looking forward to this feature. Finally, access to more high-def movies. Through my cable I have on-demand and they don't have hardly any good hd movies.

I wouldn't really say deception. Isn't E3 mainly for the us anyways?

I think the E3 at least if for North America and here in Canada we are in NA so I dont know why we didnt get this,

At least they should mention it yesterday about this because many people who watch it is mad today.

Yea I guess they should have mentioned something. But sony tends to not release information until just before something comes out. MAybe they didn't say anything since it wasn't ready for europe and canada yet. It's not really deception. Just witholding information.

I feel for ya man. It sucks to be left out high and dry. But like someone else said it maybe had to do with licensing and junk of the movies in various regions.

well i wouldn't recommend it if you have hteweast broadband your provider offers. however they say once you downlaod it, a min. later you can strea mit, so that seems cool. i wil test it before i make my own opinion on it.

and I don't understand how some of you guys, that download off the PSN, takes hours for it to download. I bought a movie and I literally started streaming the movie within minutes. It was 10% downloaded by 2 minutes. Really strange. Moral of the story is don't be turned off by other forums/posts that trying to deter you from enjoying this new service because their connection is weak. 2nite I'm going to rent a movie for me and my family 2 enjoy.Adultgmr77

Has nothing to do with sony, and everything to do with content distributors. That is why Canada only just got the movie store months after US got it for 360

Same but it really doesn't depend on your connection, more the number of people downloading it at the same times as you

i don't think so. I dl'd hellboy in hd and it was just stereo. Yeah, i was disappointed. Other than that, the video quality was pretty good and it was a pretty painless process, just like dling a trailer from the psn store, but longer obviously :)

im not sure what happened but i used to be able to download 1gb demos in half an hour but now it take about an hour to an hour and a half
i assumed that servers slowed down due to more traffic with all the new users
