Sony PS3 movies re-downloadable only once

Posted in PS3 by Conner Flynn on September 22nd, 2008

Sony PS3 movies re-downloadable only onceI don’t know how you are, but when I buy something, like say a movie, I like to be able to use it as many times as I see fit. I paid good money for it after all. Apparently, users who purchase movies from the Sony PS3 video store are allowed to download it only one more time. Which sucks. Sony does tell you in their license agreement that “Content cannot be redownloaded once it has been downloaded to either a PLAYSTATION 3 or PSP system.” I guess the moral of the story is to treat digital downloads as rented movies rather then purchases.

Best Buy to acquire Napster for $121m

Best Buy to acquire Napster for $121mBest Buy has agreed to purchase Napster Inc. for $121 million, which values Napster at $2.65 per share. Like many of us, you might be wondering why Best Buy wants the once relevant Napster. According to Best Buy, they intend to use Napster’s assets to reach new customers with an enhanced experience for exploring and selecting music as well as other digital entertainment products over an increasing number of devices. Um, okay. Best Buy doesn’t have any plans to relocate Napster’s headquarters in Los Angeles yet, and they have no plans to make significant changes in personnel. I guess they just felt like shopping.
