According to an article in Variety magazine, Sony could be launching a high definition video on demand service for its PS3 users early next year.
Though it's initially aimed at its Japanese customers, which would make sense given the country's better technology infrastructure and HD adoption, it could start rolling out worldwide next year.
Microsoft already offers high definition movies and TV shows via the Xbox 360, and it's something that Apple could begin introducing via iTunes, so it's a fairly predictable move on Sony's part.
For the service to come to the UK, we'd need much faster, uncapped broadband, and PS3's with decent sized hard drives. I'd be surprised if it arrives here next year.
