    VidZone To Launch For Europe and Australia

    Sony Europe and Sony Australia today has announced that VidZone is coming to your PlayStation 3's. Check it out:
    [FL]http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/thumb_230px-Logo_vidzone.1244753585.jpg[/FL]VidZone is a brand new, free service that gives you the freedom to view thousands of music videos on demand by streaming them directly to your PS3 and onto your TV screen - complete with Surround Sound. It's launching with a bang and it's packed with a huge library of over 10,000 videos.

    What does that mean? It means that if you put them all into a single playlist and watched it for 24 hours a day, seven days a week - it would take you three solid weeks to watch it all. And there's much, much more on the way. VidZone is completely free and extremely easy to use. Just download the free VidZone application from PlayStation®Store, find it under the 'music' icon on your PS3's XrossMediaBar menu and you're away. You don't have to watch somebody else's choice of music - you're in complete control here. Select single videos to watch on their own - with the option of rewinding and fast-forwarding - or create your own library of streaming music and make custom playlists for every occasion. Whether you want a playlist for a living-room workout or a house party - or whether you just want to check out your favourite musician's dance moves or guitar fretwork - VidZone gives you all the options and puts you in complete control.


    You can even create a playlist via PSPTM (PlayStation®Portable) and have it waiting for you on PS3 when you get home. With major music labels on board as well as thousands of independents, you can count on getting the latest videos from the biggest names - including regular exclusives and world premieres. A first glance at a sample VidZone playlist reveals videos from artists including Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, Fatboy Slim, Black Eyed Peas, Glasvegas, Dizzee Rascal, P!nk, Noisettes, Ne-Yo, Armand van Helden, Tori Amos and Akon, among others - but that's just a few.


    With 10,000 videos on there and more to come, you'll find what you're into. Set to transform the music video experience, VidZone joins Blu-ray movies, music, digital TV, games and Internet one more reason to make PS3 the centre of your home entertainment experience. Download VidZone from PlayStation®Store and put yourself in control.

    European and Australian PlayStation 3 owners can check out the service now, no word yet on if the VidZone service will be hitting PlayStation's outside of these regions.

    It was a bit slow and clunky yesterday, though I guess that's probably due to 9001 people trying to use it at the exact same time at launch a very cool service though, just wish it would scrobble to last.fm though :)

      This service is pretty ace, wish they'd support the first party bluetooth keyboard when your searching. Would be cool too if you set your age so that you could get the full versions of songs and not the clean edits.

      As Stan by Eminem is full of the f and s words, kind of ruins the song, but just a minor gripe.

      Oh and I got rick rolled

        ^^

        I bet that you didn't see that coming...

        And from the news what i read about this VidZone thingy, it seems that Europe has gotten lot smaller than it used to be last week.

        Since apperantly the VidZone only works in UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany and Spain..

            Yes there is... But complaining really doesn't speed the launch up. Because from what i have understood, the delay is because some legal stuff(copyrights?!)...

            So until it launches here too, i'll just have to watch music videos from Youtube, or from MTV...
