Digital Home Thoughts: Sony Qriocity On-demand Streaming Coming in February

"Say hello to Qriocity, Sony's first step toward building an Online Service to rival iTunes, Netflix and anything else that makes money by selling you downloadable content. Headed to your nearest XMB in February"

Sony announced their own streaming media service coming in February, to be integrated in with XMB. With a good Internet connection is should be capable of streaming 720p video to your PS3, BluRay player, and presumably just about anywhere XMB resides. With Netflix streaming already available on many BluRay players, the PS3, and the Xbox360 I am not sure how popular this will be, but a little competition could be good. With their vast library of movies available, hopefully the service will have more recent selections than are currently available through Netflix streaming. I am a big fan of Netflix streaming, but only for catching up on older stuff. If they have recent releases, available at a decent price, streamed right to my (hopefully supported) BluRay player it might be a useful new feature.
