The service has been rapidly expanding, grabbing exclusives before other television and online venues, such as MTV and Yahoo. Most recently, the service announced it will be debuting new videos from Placebo.
To expand upon its success, VidZone is planning to expand to other territories beyond Australia and a small handful of European countries. Jackson didn't reveal specifics, but did reiterate the company's support behind the platform. A free update in September will add many user-requested features like 16x9 support and improved search functionality.

No Sony love for Canada.

...effing CRTC. They're probably enforcing the CanCon rules and ruining our fun. No Vidzone, no video store. If it does ever come, it'll all be Bryan Adams.

This Placebo fan in the US is awfully jealous... :(

Ashtray Heart? WTF? I guess stealing the name of another artist's song and taking it as your own creation isn't a crime? I could see if it was a more generic song title, then maybe it could be a coincidence, but this just seems like unoriginality at it's finest. As for the music video service, it's cool to see at least some growth somewhere in the industry.

It is called a cover, and bands have been doing it for years. Welcome to 2009.
machineboy @ Aug 17th 2009 6:01PM
Ashtray Heart was the bands first name before they changed it to Placebo.

@Gordogg24p: No, it's not a cover. Don't talk about about something you know knothing about. Welcome to how not to be a complete jackass on the internet, lesson one.
@machineboy: Well, at least they had the sense to change their name.

@Gordogg24p: It's not a cover. Thanks for the lesson in Douchebag 101, though.

I guess it's next to impossible for this to come to Latin America, maybe the US but we have been mostly ignored by every game manufacturer except Microsoft.

Sweden please!! We can return the favor with a handful of Dalahästar! And meatballs!

Bring it on - it'll give me a reason to give a damn about music videos again.
