PlayStation 3 to include music downloads

Sony has confirmed the PlayStation 3 content platform will include a music download service, though it is unclear whether it will extend Sony Corp's Connect service.

Sony have confirmed that the content platform that will come with its new PlayStation 3 gaming console will include a music download service. No word on whether that will be an extension of Sony Corp's Connect download service, or something new. I'm guessing the latter - because the chances of one bit of Sony talking to the other are low. After all, should anyone at PlayStation go to the Epic label at sister company SonyBMG to discuss artist exclusives for their music service, they might find Epic bosses have already done a deal with the X-box content platform run by rivals Microsoft.
