GAMING NEWSRumor: Sony Forming Broadband TV ServicePosted on Friday, January 4 @ 10:49:45 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
![]() According to a new report, Sony is allegedly putting together its own multi-channel broadband television service and plans to reveal it at this year's CES. The news comes from Variety, which claims that this new service will likely either come to Sony-branded products like the PlayStation 3 and their Bravia television line, or require a dedicated set-top box. The report goes on to state that Sony is currently in talks with a couple of major content providers in an effort to make this a robust and compelling service. With the service supposedly being broadband-based, certain region-specific channels may be accessible worldwide. However, launching such a service would be incredibly expensive (we're talking billions of dollars here) and considering Sony's less-than-stellar financial state, it's hard to image how they could pull this off successfully. Do you think a move like this would be wise for the company? Do we really need another television service? Sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.

Not that I'm saying Time Warner is cheap, Sony is just generally more expensive across all products
