Sky Player for PS3?
Written by Rob Rymond
Content Monster

Sky Player could launch on the PS3 in the near future.

Of course, it was announced this week that Netflix would make its way to the PS3, despite the original Xbox 360 exclusive and it's mooted that Sky could do the same.

In an interview with VideoGamer.com, the director for Sky on-demand, Griff Parry told them:

"It [Sky Player on PS3] may very well happen in the future.

"I can talk generally about our desire to extend to any device that supports a good quality experience to project the content. The PS3 is clearly a device where that is possible. And so it may very well happen in the future. Having said that, we're very happy to be working with Xbox for the time being."

The PS3 currently has access to the BBC iPlayer but nothing else just yet. We'll keep you posted on any further developments.

I have a ps3 & a 360 I am not getting sky player on 360 so ps3 is still a no no. If u want sky why not just watch sky the normal way? Use your ps3 or 360 for what it's best at games.

Another ps3 copy think is something original

#10 Anonymous  Console Guide 00:18 31 Oct 2009 GMT  
I think it is a good idea to have sky on a console as it just makes it Easyer to just have everything in 1 box thing under the telly ( even though I won't be buying it ) but Sony and microsct should remember what the consoles are there for in the first place
#11 USA  Console Guide 01:59 31 Oct 2009 GMT  
I think it's useless bcause I'm in usa and I can't use it

In fact baw bag,I got my ps3 free with my mobile phone contract.so mystic meg you clearly know jack *****.in fact i've had 2 ps3 as bought one at launch but sold it.prefer the xbox always have always will until the ps3 catches up in terms of services and games
#22 @teels  Console Guide 00:27 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
I know that u r lying bcause u just told me that u only use ps3 4 blue ray only. Now ur telling me that u have ps3 bcause they had catch up on games and services. Which is not related to what u told us earlier. And if really have ps3 since the launch only morons sell their ps3 bcause it has bc and good library of games includind ps3.
#23 Above  Console Guide 02:12 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
I mean games including ps2
#24 sad cockmunch  Console Guide 06:06 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
Yeah well my dad is clearly bigger than your dad therefore ps3 does a ***** on Xbox so in your face bill *****ing gates!
#25 Teels  Console Guide 08:14 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
No I'm telling you I only use my ps3 as a blueray player because ps3 is way behind in terms of services and games and until or if ever they do catch up I may actually plug a control pad into the horrible black thing that makes my room look like it has a toaster under my 42inch samsung
#26 @teels  Console Guide 11:57 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
What is you psn? If u really have one
#27 Anonymous  Console Guide 12:01 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
He ain't got a ps3 otherwise he'd know the control pad is wireless, end ov
#28 Teels  Console Guide 12:59 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
My psn is teels and you will be able so see I not been online in over a years coz it's *****......the box rules man,but hey I might not even bother with the blu ray player soon with 1080p instant streaming movies over xbox live soon
#29 sad cockmunch  Console Guide 14:19 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
On teels, if Xbox is so good why buy a ps3? And once you bought it why only use it for blu-ray? Its like buying a car just to use the *****ing seats
#30 Lol  Console Guide 15:36 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
If you are going to ask me, computer is more superior than xbox. And every gamers know that.
#31 Teels  Console Guide 16:14 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
@sadcockmunch well if you scroll up a few mags you will see I got my ps3 with a mobile contract so away and raffle your doughnut prick features.as for pc gaming it's been dying for years apart from RPGs.to play the best games you must keep upgrading your pc why bother cheaper with a console
#32 Anonymous  Console Guide 16:35 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
yeah but the only reason people prefer xbox is cus it came out first so more people bought it therefore there are more people online on it . If more people owned a ps3 then it would get better as they would get more exclusives ( and actualy mange to keep them exclusive unlike xbox ) but tbh I'd still rather keep my ps3 and have free Internet and go on face book that way rather then pay whats gonna be £100 a year to go on it
#33 Tony  Console Guide 17:51 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
Teels how u going to say that ps3 would look like a toaster under ur 42' tv. When xbox is the highest % on overheating? Xbox is just lucky it came out first and had a year advantage. And ps3 is not that far away from catching up!
#34 ***** ur mum  Console Guide 18:04 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
Xbox losing exclusives er may i remind you metal gear solid 4, final fantasy ps3 s biggest games
#35 yooooo  Console Guide 18:19 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
i rather cross game talking then sky player.....
#36 @teels  Console Guide 19:26 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
Tony is right. Xbox is like a toaster. And also how can you say computer is dying if it has good library of games and better than xbox. It has more function than xbox and computer last longer than xbox. It doesn't have high failure rAte and every gamers and profesional knows that computer is more superior than xbox. I know you have to upgrade your computer for like once every two to three years but at least I don't have to buy new generation of xbox everytime it come out
#37 Anonymous  Console Guide 22:50 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
Oh the war between Microsoft and Sony keeps raging on. Both consoles have done great things and failed with others. I don't own a ps3 but I loved the past playstation titles and if both companys could just do a lil more with the backwards capability
#38 Anonymous  Console Guide 22:59 01 Nov 2009 GMT  
That would be awsome instead of paying an arm and a leg for past titles. In the end i find myself playing games on my Iphone mote enjoyable haft the time.
#39 Teels  Console Guide 00:14 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
Keep exclusives unlike xbox ? Hmm let me think resi evil,final fantasy,grand theft auto and soon mgs sinus 4 biggest exclusives gone.you can keep ratchet and clank tho honestly keep it
#40 @teels  Console Guide 00:27 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
And what does xbox have? None most of their exclusive also ends up on computer so pretty much all you need is a good combination of ps3 and pc. Xbox is just like pc except pc has more function and worth of money and no high failure rate and will last longer than ps3. Now I dare all people who thinks that xbox is better than ps3 an computer to stop using computer and ps3 if xbox is so good for 1 week especially you teels. Let see you can take it.

You know what? You got a good point. Xbox is just like a computer. Well, no point for me to buy another xbox. Mine just broke last month and out of warranty. Oh well I'm just going to buy a ps3.
#43 Anonymous  Console Guide 00:56 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
Wow yur a wise one. Believe me you aren't going to be half as satisfied with a ps3. Especially if you were on live at all!
#44 Tony  Console Guide 03:24 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
Teels if u says u spent more money on computer then on xbox actually ur going
to spent the sale amount on both pc and xbox.. Look it takes 2 or 3 years to upgrade a computer. And ur going to spent 300 to upgrade computer.. When u spent $50 for playing online 4 a year and $50 for everytime u send ur xbox to get fix its almost running the same amount.
#45 Tony  Console Guide 03:41 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
I meant same not sale!
#46 Therebel  Console Guide 07:13 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
@teels
are you serious?! First off resident evil hasn't been exclusive since the original because it went to the sega Saturn and PC. So it lost that ages ago. Final fantasy was never exclusive to the ps3. It was created on the NES first so how was it exclusive? And the ps3 is getting final fantasty versus 13 anyway so even if you want to consider it exclusive it still is. GTA has never been exclusive to the playstation. The original GTA was on the DOS first and was later ported to the PC and playstation. So what are you talking about when calling that an exclusive? I'll give you mgs but, your getting a spin-off not a sequel so, it's not that much if a big deal. And the 360 has lost lots of exclusives like star ocean 4,bioshock,eternal sonata,tales of vesperia,ninja gaiden. Learn your gaming history before you try to talk crap about a console.
#47 Anonymous  Console Guide 08:35 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
Yeah not to mention this sky thing and the fallout 3 dlc. And btw final fantisie is japanese so how would it be exclusive to an American console
#48 Teels  Console Guide 10:38 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
Bottom line is wii has run a mile in the console war xbox is 2nd and ps3 trails in 3rd.bottom line end of,ps3 is more powerful but xbox does online so much better.anyone has had an xbox and a ps3 will tell you hands down that xbox live is light years ahead in terms of online gaming.ps3 tries but the experience is rubbish but then you pay for what you get in life and £40 a year is worth it.the reason pan network is free is because it is way behind live online wise..............hence why my ps3 collects dust
#49 Anonymous  Console Guide 14:15 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
Would it actually be too much to not argue about the 2? Get which one your friends are getting. It's actually that simple. And if you have no friends/friends aren't getting consoles then buy whichever one you think has the better exclusive games. Stop arguing on the Internet and find something more constrictive to do please. It's best for everyone
#50 Tony  Console Guide 18:58 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
"teels" really if ur going to talk crap.. First do ur research before u talk crap. Wii is one of d worse console right now there saling % is on negatives.. As far as ps3 and xbox.. Ps3 has the highest % of saling right now! So, really xbox not really showing nothing right now. Im mean thats sad when a console has a year advantage. And the other one is like right next to them about to pass them! I mean really u tell me whats kewl about xbox live! I play my ps3 and it runs smooth for me! So, u let me know what different?
#51 Tony  Console Guide 19:12 02 Nov 2009 GMT  
Whats the differents?
#52 Therebel  Console Guide 05:36 03 Nov 2009 GMT  
@teels
what does xbox live have that's "light years" ahead of psn? Psn is getting party chat and it got netflix and it probably will get that sky player thing in the future? Xbox live is better but, not by a lot. Psn has something that xbox live doesn't have. That's dedicated servers!! That's the main point of online gaming to play online. It ruins gears of war 2 when lagging like crazy and xbox live completely destroys star ocean 4 because of lag. Your right about getting what you pay for. Someone buys a ps3 for 300$ so that they can have free online that doesn't lag much. Who wants to buy a 360 for 200$ so that they can pay 50$ to lag on xbox live?
#53 Chrissy  Console Guide 23:21 03 Nov 2009 GMT  
I actualy think feels is on the right line but I wouldn't count the wii as it's just lots of parents buying it for family gaming whatever that is. I'm not saying true ps3 isn't worth a look but the xbox really does have a better online expierience. What does it for me is the xbox games they are so much better than ps3's

ps3 has better graphics
And smoother gameplay
And more procesing power
If more people bought ps3 then it would get better
