PS3 Vidzone

Ps3 vidzone is now live, not sure if anyone has seen anything about it,but it's basically a free music video service avaliable on the ps3.
Its a small download and install (avaliable from the store) from there you can listen and watch a whole range of music videos all for free!!
It's streamed to you, but I haven't had any probs with lag and the videos are loaded in a few seconds.
Apparently it will be updated on a regular basis with more content, but there is plenty on there now.
Enjoy!!

Re: PS3 Vidzone

its a brillient service, play lists are great to. be good to put on in the back ground when you got a few people round.

sony are on to a winner with this, and would be nice if we could get a video service for film rentals/buying like the US store...

Re: PS3 Vidzone

ive only just found out about this myself.
had a mail from playstation to say it was there for download and what it was, so had to check it out as you do.
well i got to say its blummin great, as said above sony is definitely onto a winner here.

ive had no lag at all over wireless and the tracks load in about 2 seconds max. just great i think and loads of vids on there through the search too. i was only going to see what it was like and ended up on it for about two hours with the mrs lol.
all i can say is what a very nice surprise it was.

Re: PS3 Vidzone

Haven't tried this yet but it's certainly a winner for Sony with it being free, could definitely be a system shifter for them............

Only problem is that it takes ages to boot it up.

Re: PS3 Vidzone

I was messing about with vidzone today for a couple of hours and was shocked to find out that within that time it streamed something along the lines of 1.5GB

It could be, if they advertised it to the non-PS3 owning public!
