I'm surprised its taking Sony so long to get video downloads sorted out. The PS3 has had pretty robust crypto & DRM since the beginning to limit plays, duration of content so the pieces are already there in the client side. All that is missing is the actual delivery platform.
Maybe they intend to do a deal with Amazon or someone for their service. To me that would make more sense in some ways since it immediately gets them in the game and relieves Sony of the pressure of the contractual hell, QoS etc. that must come with movie downloads.
