VidZones brings unlimited streaming music videos ... for free
Europe is getting a wicked cool service to use early next year. Entitled VidZones, this new service, available in 23 European countries, including Australia and New Zealand, will allow PS3 fans to access an unlimited amount of streaming music videos on their PS3 for the incredible price of: free. You'll be able to create custom playlists and yes, you'll be able to stream it on your PSP via Remote Play. This will operate separately from the current PS3 Video Store.
In addition, users of VidZones will be able to download music videos and ringtones directly to their cell phones ... all for a nominal charge, of course. With this and PlayTV, the multimedia features of the European PS3 is far outclassing those of their (now jealous) neighbors.

Yeah, it's a shame Sony aren't launching some sort of video service in your region.
Oh wait a minute, they already have...

Link might not work outside the EU but it looks like its just the site optimised for the PS3

If frickin' Australia is getting this, the US better get it too, no offense to any Aussies in the [chat] room.

Stop complaining Yanks, we don't have half the content you guys get on the PS Store, we don't even have the Video Store.. so don't start crying saying your getting hard done by.

I know we get content here in the U.S. that you guys want, but damn this seems like something the U.S. would eat up even more so than the European market.
Who doesn't download songs from itunes, watch MTV or look for a new music videos on Youtube here in the U.S. It seems that we are getting shafted for no reason at all.
I also think that Play t.v. would be a great addition here, who the hell doesn't need a TIVO like device. We used to record old t.v. shows on VHS and the TIVO and like devices have penetrated the U.S. market. I think that SONY should reconsider their marketing and make the U.S. and European market even at least in terms of services like these. Just tailor the content differently for each market.
