i highy doubt it...it is possible but how much would they charge for it? and the size of the download would have to be like 8gb...the only reason i think they wouldnt do it is because it would be too expensive...alot of people wouldnt buy it and their hard drives are not that big 2 hold those movies and their game installs etc.

Not only that, but the fact that it would then run counter-productive to Blu-ray sales...I think Blu-ray is the main reason Sony is holding out on buying HD movies on the Video Store.

You're losing the audio benefits of an actual blu-ray as well as running your monthly allowable downloads to cap.
