Sony is readying to launch a full-blown iTunes rival on PS3 later today at the IFA technology expo in Berlin.
That's according to a report in the Financial Times, which says that Sony is in talks with a number of major record labels over content.
The subscription-based music and video service will reportedly replace the Sony Connect music store that closed its virtual doors back in 2008 - and is tipped to go live early next year.
The FT claims that the Sony Music service will launch on the PlayStation 3 - which will become its central 'hub'. It will also reportedly combine compatibility with PSP Sony Walkman, Vaio computers, Bravia TVs along with Sony Ericsson mobile handsets.
We'll be keeping one eye on Sony's IFA conference and one eye on Apple's London shindig. Luckily, we've got enough eyes.
