Sony Launching Internet-Based TV Service for PS3
Sony Computer Entertainment Korea and KT, Korea’s big telecom operator, will be joining forces to bring internet-based TV service to the PS3 in November.
KT’s Internet Protocol TV service, called Mega TV, allows viewers to download shows from the Internet and watch them whenever they like.
Microsoft announced it was working on its own IPTV service earlier this year, but has yet to follow through.
KT already provides IPTV services in Korea. Lee Young-hee, chief of the Media Center at KT, sees great potential in his company’s alliance with SCEK:
With this partnership, Mega TV will include high-definition games and Blue-Ray media in its periphery. We will seek more cooperation with SCEK to create synergy.
The PlayStation series is the world’s best-selling video game platform, however the PS3 has been struggling in the U.S. and Japanese markets while its rival Nintendo is faring well with the cheaper Wii game machine.

I recently bought a PS3, and I have to say this would be a nice little addition. I hope everything goes smoothly.
