Game Console Manufacturer Sony may have a larger network of online users compared to Xbox. But in the Game Console TV arena it’s way behind. Is that about to change?

Although Sony boast that its PlayStation Network comprises over 20 million registered users (compared with Xbox Live at 17 million). Due to the Netflix deal Xbox Live is streets ahead with internet TV boasting over 30,000 TV episodes and movies for users to watch.

However Sony are hitting back. It announced today a major deal with NBC Universal, allowing PS Network users to watch the latest TV shows and movies online. But for a cost.

To rent a viewing, users will need to cough up between $2.99 – $5.99, whilst purchasing will cost around $9.99 – $14.99. TV shows will be made available to view the day after they air on TV.

This new deal follows news that Sony added shows from across MTV Networks channels, including MTV, Spike and Nickelodeon. Sony says the PlayStation Network now offers over 1,300 movies and more than 4,500 TV episodes, with episodes available in both standard definition and High Definition(HD). An advantage that Playstation has over Xbox is that the movies are portable if your using the PSP.

Im just off to watch my Playstation. Catch you next time.
