GDN: Sports Fans Get Classic and Must-See Matches on PSN

Sony has found a new way to get money from sports fans who own PS3 and PSP systems. A variety of National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Hockey League (NHL) video content is now available for purchase from PlayStation Store. These additions further enhance the rich library of standard definition and high-definition sports related video entertainment currently available through the PlayStation Network video delivery service, including recently added content from Major League Baseball (MLB) and action from Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling and more.

Throughout the season, select games will be available for purchase from PlayStation Store, with new video content added weekly. PlayStation Store will also feature games from the first two rounds of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. The select NBA games during the 2009-10 season will be available for fans to download shortly after they conclude.

The PlayStation Network video delivery service also now features 20 historic NHL games on PlayStation Store. Hockey lovers can watch the Montreal Canadians battle the Boston Bruins to win the first of four consecutive World Cups in 1977, and many more classic match-ups featuring the greatest players in hockey.

Other content available includes the 2009 World Series. Baseball lovers can also relive 10 historic MLB games, including the stunning game six of the 1977 World Series, where Reggie “Mr. October” Jackson hit three home runs -- each on the first pitch, against three different pitchers -- to lead the Yankees to the title.

Fans of the Ultimate Fighting Championship can get into the action too. The PlayStation Network video delivery service offers over 60 UFC fights, many in high definition, including the Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir heavyweight championship title fight from UFC 100, and the entire season of The Ultimate Fighter10. Other UFC superstars like Rashad Evans and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, as well as the internet sensation and The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 competitor Kimbo Slice are also featured.

For wrestling fans, the PlayStation Network video delivery service features replays of TNA matches from 2008 and 2009, previously aired on pay-per-view.

The PlayStation Network video delivery service also has football fans covered with a variety of games from the Fox Bowl Championship Series, such as the 2009 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl where Ohio State faced the University of Texas Longhorns and more games coming in January 2010.

These great sports match-ups are available for purchase for $1.99 to $2.99 from the PlayStation Network video delivery service.
