No offence, but i hope it doesn't.

You've got the much more useful video store to enjoy whilst a year and a half later no such thing has even been mentioned for Europe.

So get your hands off and go play with your own toys!

At least you have something with videos...

In Canada we don't have any of the video services. No video store, no VidZone, and no PlayTV.

I for one hope this works over here.

trust me, play TV is no substitute...

But i do hope it works for all those folks in Canada and elsewhere who also have no quality video service...

Since i dont use the video stoe except once when it first came out and to download the free episode of voltron i would rather have playTV so the stuff i can record the stuff i watch on tv to the ps3 and not have to find it online or something or watch it on hulu through the browser.

For what it's worth, it doesn't work in the UK either! Been trying and trying and trying and trying for about an hour now... "Vidzone is currently experiancing high levels of demand. Please wait a few moments and then restart the application to try again" and again, and again...

Has anyone tried Vidzone in the US? Does it work?

Pretty sure vidZone is European exclusive. Something to do with all the copyright shenanigans. Could be wrong, though!

I'm guessing that people in the US will be able to download the program but it will block all the videos which is similar to what the US Video Store does to us Europeans.

We can't even see the Video store or anything on it, let alone download anything.

Anyone know if they're planning on releasing a multipack of burnout content? I'd like to buy lots of the stuff already released but would rather wait until I could buy it all at once (preferably for a discount).

Well, they're certainly wasting no time in getting PSP games up on the store at least.

VidZone is only available in UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Australia. See http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/06/11/vidzone-lands-on-playstation3-today/

6 out of 48 countries in Europe. Bravo Sony, bravo...

Well that's just great...! FFS SCEE Europe is more than these six countries.
When are you going to give Scandinavia some love!?

I would guess that's for licencing reasons. This is the music industries fault, not SCEE (not SCEE Europe as that would be sony computer entertainment europe europe...man I hate redundant acronyms, even if they are due to typos). It's also the reason that it's not available elsewhere in the world e.g. USA.

*wonders why Australia is grouped in with SCEE, seeing as it's part of oceania/austrilasia, and clearly not europe*

No problemo, but yea, it took about 3-5 min long to tell me that it doesn't work :P

I actually thought it would work. Well off to streaming music video on youtube.

While I'm sure vidZone would be cool (here in the U.S.), I'm satisfied with a Killzone map update and a Burnout update. My money's being spent tonight, regardless!

In true Sony fashion, the thing doesn't work worth a damn... tried to launch it a few times now and, "Fatal Error"!

Just when you think Sony might actually do something right for a change... hmm.

Amazing!!!! More than 2 hours on Vidzone and I already have more than 70 videos on my favourite playlist. And video quality is better than my cable MTV Hits. ¬¬

Thank Sony xD
