The latest service provided through the online PlayStation Network is Sony’s attempt to stage a comeback in digital entertainment distribution. The maker of the once-dominant Walkman portable music player is still smarting from its defeat by Apple in the online music revolution. “They’ve got to get a win in the digital and I’d say on the electronic delivery side of the business” said Kurt Scherf an analyst with Parks Associates who studies technology in the home. “That’s where the future is. They’ve got to establish a toehold in that space.
