Earlier this week word came from CES that Sony was going to extend their PlayStation Network content to other devices including laptops. Now comes word via Shacknews on the specifics of the deal. Starting in February any PC will be able to access the many movies that are available to download and purchase on the network (just standard definition versions, unfortunately).

If you already have a PlayStation Network account with your PlayStation 3 console you will be able to use the same account to access the network on the PC. Right now, there doesn't appear to be any plans to offer downloadable PS3 games and demos for PC owners but you have to think that this initial move into the PC space could be a Trojan Horse move by Sony to offer more of their PlayStation Network content in the future for PC owners.

Could you be playing PS3 downloadable games on a laptop soon? That's what Sony seemed to be hinting at during its CES 2010 press conference on Wednesday. Our sister site Engadget reports that Sony wants to extend the reach of its Playstation Network to a host of other devices including laptops.

There are no other details on how this will work out or when it will become available but we suspect that if this does go through the laptop support will be strictly for Sony's Vaio series of laptops. Still, the possibility of playing downloadable PS3 games from a laptop PC is certainly an intriguing one.

Trine is an upcoming fantasy platforming action game that focuses on physics-based puzzles. Different character types adventure through gorgeous environments to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Some puzzles can be turned and used against foes. Trine is expected to release in 2009 for the PC and PlayStation Network.
