Our <a href="http://japanese.engadget.com/2006/11/11/playstation3-retail-unbox/">crew out in Japan</a> gave us the 411 on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/12/sony-japan-adds-ps3-online-content-downloads/">P-TV video download feature</a>; it seems that all of the content currently being offered on P-TV is anime clips and movie trailers -- nothing full length -- and it's all free. Think of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/hands-on-with-the-apple-itv-prototype/">iTV</a> trailer blade we saw at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-its-showtime/">Apple's last big event</a>. One accesses the P-TV store via the PlayStation browser -- there's no in-system interface (lame) -- wherein users can snag H.264 video to their internal drive or a USB drive. Thankfully, the video is un-DRMed and can be played back on a PC, although it doesn't really matter since it's mostly promo stuff anyway. Apparently there's also an account registration and payment method screen in with a shopping cart interface in the PlayStation Store, so it's entirely possible full-length downloads might happen in the future, a la <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/06/microsofts-xbox-live-video-hdtv-and-hd-movie-downloads-for-you/">Xbox Live Video</a>. But for now, it's all about quick clips and trailers, with no option to buy the big content.<br /><br />
