The Sony Entertainment Network has enabled a new features today; download queuing for browser purchases.
The ability to queue up content to be downloaded the next time you turn a system on has been added to the Sony Entertainment Network online web-store. You can access your queue from the following link, and download purchases remotely to your PS3 and PSVita. It’s worth mentioning that the download of purchased content will take about ten minutes to start if you’re console is currently on, and if it’s not the download will begin next time you log in to the PSN. If you have PlayStation Plus, the sync will also occur with the nightly update. This queue feature is confirmed to work on both the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3.
There are some interesting things you can do from your download list now as well, such as choosing which system to send the download to for a cross-buy title (or both, if you prefer).
All said, it’s welcome new feature that will surely help you fill up...
