Shortly after Sir Howard Stringer attempted to eat Taylor Swift (in full 3D) at Sony’s 2010 press conference, Kaz Hirai walked onto the poorly lit stage and revealed something Sony should have done a billion years ago: the company is integrating PSN IDs and some of its content across several of its products.
Starting next month, people will be able to use their PSN accounts to stream “100s” of PSN-available movies in HD and SD directly to their Sony Bravia and blu-ray devices, as well as their Vaios and Windows-enabled PCs.
This initiative will only be available in six countries initially.
So, in short, Sony is leveraging its PSN service and allowing for a universal login for those of us with more than a single Sony product in our homes. We’ve contacted the platform publisher to ask if a Sony-Internet-Capable shoe is on the horizon, because honestly, we really want to watch Armored on a shoe. Call it a dream. Or something.

Oh, and premium = pay.
Seriously, I'm not seeing how this is must have in any sort of form. Good on the PSN ID thing though, I guess.
I was dead set against 3D gaming until I watched Avatar the other week... now I can't wait for the immersive possibilties it could bring (Imagine it coupled with something akin to Natal).
Still, tv screens need to be a hell of a lot bigger if the venture will truely work. Even during Avatar I was annoyed that I could see the edges of the screen... they really need to be curved around us to compliment our peripheral vision.
Actually they've been talking this up since the PS2. It looks like it only took them 10 years to get on it and boy I have to say...it's blowing my mind.
I am saying now that while Sony tries to integrate the obvious technology, it will accidentally lose millions of customer records to the Internet as well.
