Sony to Offer Subscription-Based Music Download Service
Took them awhile, but Sony BMG is finally selling access to all of its music online. Big boss man Rolf Schmidt-Holtz has been quoted saying that Sony BMG is "working on an one music subscription service" which would cost between €6 to €8 per month (about $9 to $12), and provide access to the entire Sony BMG music catalog.
Schmidt-Holtz goes on to say that customers could own "some songs" even after the subscription was canceled. Oh, and unlike downloads from the Apple store, the music will play on " all digital players, including Apple's iPod."
DRM-free, baby. The service launches later this year.

No, this does NOT mean DRM free. It means there WILL be a DRM that works on many of the popular players.
The song is STILL not gonna be yours. BOYCOTT!

If thats the case then hopefully they may add that service to the PS3. Hopefully they do that along with movie downloads and televison show downloads.
