According to an unnamed source, we have received word that Sony has developed a Peer to Peer (P2P) file sharing network that will allow users to seamlessly watch and share movies. There won’t be any hassles to deal with involving the use of the network. The system works on the premise that one simply downloads the specific file and the movie will automatically begin playing. Also, the same source tells us that this service has the full support of Hollywood. To expand on this network, we’ve heard that they’re planning to integrate the service into “Home”, Sony’s new online avatar-driven platform. Creating this service and offering it within "Home" would only further Sony's attempts at offering the ultimate multi-media experience. As of now, this is only a rumor, we'll have to wait till Sony openly confirms this.

sounds like a good idea if this is true :)
 
I like the idea of being able to visit friends "homes" and listen to their music off their PS3's. Quite cool for having a partaaay!

I take it watching vids works in the same way.
 
interesting

You choose a video and it downloads. You get to start watching right away....

What promises do we have that it will download the start of the movie first? |:

As far as i know vids will work in the same way as far as i understand it, i dout it will be entire films tho i would think more on the lines of in game replays maybe/movie trailers?
 
Think this will before home arrives as it has been stated that is one thing you will be able to do in your "home". As i guess home is up and running in a beta form, the P2P must be working now so that part may arrive sooner that the autumn, when home arrives.
