For a while now, Sony has been thinking of new ways of how they can spread the PSN to other portable devices. That thinking has come to end and finally came up with another portable way of viewing the PlayStation Network. When the latest line up of Sony's new VAIO laptops hit stores soon, the laptop will feature 100% use of the PSN. The upcoming VAIO W series will be the only one having use of the PSN for now.
Sony's Mike Abary says that for now, the PSN for Sony brand laptops will only cater to movie and TV shows distribution. He did hint that it might be a possibility that games will also be available for download but it'll most likely be games aimed at the casual market for PC gamers. That doesn't mean we can't stop dreaming.

K-Man said: Cool, glad you understand. If this kicks off well, maybe we'll see something like that. Maybe if you're online on you PS3 and your friend is online but is on their laptop, you can still send them a message.
zyxses said: That's exactly what I was thinking. Basically PSN on your PC. Can't be that difficult... surely?

zyxses said: I'm always wanting to log-in to PSN when I'm on my pc. Just to check messages etc. I don't know why it takes SONY so long to implement some pretty obvious (to me) features? Look at MS Live/MSN. I know MS does software and Sony do hardware but times are changing. I'm in the market for a new notebook so I might be checking these babies out.
