Sony PS3 Video Delivery Service (VDS): 50 films per week

It has been reported that Sony are planning to add as many as 50 movies per week to their new PS3 Video Delivery Service – expected to go live today for European PS3 owners.

As reported from VG247, SCEE boss Andrew House confirmed the figure himself in a recent interview. He stated how the European Video Store will start off with a strong offering, with many of the latest movie releases available on launch day.

We have to say we’re pretty impressed actually. 2000 movies on launch is a nice figure, so with 50 added each week, it looks as if Europeans will finally have a movie store on par with the U.S.

As for prices, you’ll have to pay £3.49 (HD Rental), £2.99 (SD Rental) and from £8.99 to buy an SD movie. At the moment, HD films are only available to rent.
