Yippie! Corporate cat fight! Earlier, Microsoft announced its plans to bring over 1,000 hours of TV and movies to the Xbox 360 via Live so you can watch Pimp My Ride by the end of the year. Oh goodie goodie!

But there's a catch: Only folks with a hard drive can download these wonderful television programs. Sony has offered its opinion on the announcement, saying:

PLAYSTATION 3's content is designed for everyone to enjoy right out of the box, no matter which configuration you purchase. We would never segregate or shut out any of our consumers from our entertainment experience because they didn't buy the top of the line system. Both PLAYSTATION 3 versions available on November 17 include hard drives for downloading content.

Sony's kinda right. PS3 consumers are segregated into those willing to pay a lot and those willing to pay A LOT. Brian Ashcraft
