In the "oh snap" section of the press release, it's stated that, "Unlike other services, the Video Download Service will launch with a rich selection of high quality entertainment." In your face, other services! The content, which can be downloaded to the PSP via Wi-Fi or transferred from a PC, will run the gamut of sports, movies, music, animation and the vague "entertainment." Exact pricing details will likely be revealed closer to the launch in 2008.

Neat. I hope this sort of thing makes it to America.

I don't trust anything that Sky does. What was that last device they came up with? Heh, and anyone else read that D&AD brief that asked for this kind of device?
Silly Sky.

I don't understand all of this Europe-love thing Sony has going on right now. I mean I know they get a lot of things late, but at least announce that you are releasing this beauty in NA sometime next year.

Ok I understand it's for UK and Ireland PSP owners so does that mean you can ONLY download while in the UK ? What if you have a UK Sky subscription but happen to be abroad ? Will you be blocked because of the IP address as with BBC iplayer / Sky on demand etc ? If so it's not so "on the Go" at all.
Incidently, if anyone knows how to get around the IP block problem let me know so I can watch decent TV while abroad :-)

It's about time we started getting a bit of loving ahead of Japan & the US. We're always having to wait and get charged much more for this stuff when it finally lands. Don't be bitter. Be happy for us :-)
