PS3 gets music and video buying and streaming service in early 2009

VidZone menu
Sony has revealed VidZone, an all-new music streaming service for the PlayStation 3 that will enable users to stream thousands of songs and music videos to their PS3. This by the way is an entirely different venture from the PS3 Video Store, which is already live in America but hasn’t yet released in Europe. The service will go live in Europe, Australia and New Zealand on PS3 “early next year” and will have a playlist feature that allows you to set your tunes to play in a specific order.

VidZone is one of Europe’s leading online music video services, streaming a full playlist of 1,000s videos from hip-hop to punk and heavy metal to classics. Music lovers can build their own playlists and personalise their VidZone experience to be whatever they choose. All these features and more will be included in the PS3 service, including the option to download songs, music videos and ringtones to a mobile phone for a small charge. VidZone’s service allows PS3 owners to watch the best new music videos for free on their PS3 or streamed to their PSP via Remote Play, so you can access your tunes at any time via the internet!
