Seeming to suggest that since it's anybody's guess whether consumers will prefer Blu-ray discs or Internet downloads as they install HDTV systems, Sony has decided to travel both routes. And it apparently is hoping that its PlayStation 3 game console will act as a converging point, Already capable of playing Blu-ray discs and streaming HDTV content from its online movie service, Sony is now planning to expand the library of films it can offer PS3 owners. Currently only films produced by Sony's Columbia, TriStar, Screen Gems, and Sony Pictures Classics are offered via the Internet. Sony Electronics President and COO Stan Glasgow told Broadcasting and Cable magazine, "We would like to expand the PS3 store to other studios."
