. Blade Runner, I Am Legend and many, many more! Sony introduces Playstation HUB, just like Xbox Live
After much probing around the gaming communities by asking questions about Sony’s upcoming online gaming feature, Next-Gen has recently revealed that the Xbox live like platform will be called Playstation HUB. The Playstation HUB will be launched in september to offer PS3 owners same services as XBOX LIVE, such as ability to download games, demos, and online game play. Furthermore, the Playstation HUB will also embrace PSP owners by offering the same services. Sony hopes to gain significant market share by using launch of PS3 as a vehicle to heavily promote online experience.
PlayStation HUB is being described to developers as a ’subscriber service’ suggesting a monthly charge. We understand the service is being created by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, although this is unconfirmed.
Sony boss Howard Stringer is pushing for all media content to be available for distribution over PlayStation HUB, such as music and movies, thus opening up a powerful iTunes-like distribution network for Sony.
