Blinkbox to stream through games console Video rental service Blinkbox to launch service specifically for PlayStation 3 users.
Blinkbox, an online video rental company, is to create a platform especially designed for the Sony PlayStation 3.
It will mean users of the console can easily access video productions such as TV programmes and films streamed over the internet and watched via television sets.
Chief executive Michael Comish told the Press Association: "As a console owner myself, I knew that fellow gamers wanted access to the very largest selection of movies for instant viewing, and did not want to lose valuable hard-drive space or have to wait for their downloads.
"Blinkbox brings the movie and gaming worlds together, now we just need someone to make a good movie of a game."
The company charges users fees starting from 99p to rent a movie, with TV programmes available for as little as 39p.
Video game consoles have proved a popular way for people to access internet video productions with other services, such as the BBC's iPlayer, also launching versions for the gaming community.
