At the E3 Gaming Expo in Los Angeles, Sony announced plans to launch a video download service featuring TV shows and movies for a fee. Not just popular (boring) shows and movies, but our favorite anime as well! FUNimation is the first and current only anime distributor on the new Playstation Network Video Store (launched today). Series include Desert Punk, Gunslinger Girl, Kiddy Grade, MoonPhase, and the first seasons of Afro Samurai, Burst Angel, Basilisk, Trinity Blood, and Samurai 7. The price to download individual episodes are $2.99 (SD versions).

Animation Studio BONES’ latest anime project, Xam’d: Lost Memories is also available on the store for $3.99 (HD Only). A trailer for Xam’d is available free of charge. Owners who are looking into checking out the new selection in other parts of the world are out of luck as the service is region locked.
