E3: PS3 VidZone out next week

By Robert Purchese Published 2 June, 2009

Downloadable music videos.

Sony Europe has announced that PS3 downloadable music video service VidZone will be out here on 11th June.

This, remember, is different to the full movie store, which we're told is still happening here.

Music videos can be grabbed and then played, paused, rewound and generally manipulated. They can also be sorted into playlists for parties, for example.

The date announcements coincides with an avalanche of assets following the Sony E3 conference, which packed more of a punch than many expected.

Head over to our full Sony E3 conference transcript to find out exactly what happened.

    They've had a year to make the movie store happen. It simply isn't going to now. Time for them to be honest.

    Just me or does this sound surprisingly cool? Throw in RemotePlay and you pretty much have a free iTunes.

    I'm guessing this will be for the UK only with the rest of Europe left out? Every time it comes to license deals with the movie and music industry it seems to involve a lot of headbutting on a national level. You have some TV and movie downloads on iTunes in the UK, haven't you? I suspect we'll still be waiting for those here in Denmark come 2015 :).

    Well, this particular addition to PSN I can fortunately easily live without.

    This looks REALLY cool - check the trailer on the PSN store.

    Friggin perfect for parties. Makes Spotify look last-gen.

    I'm sure we'll see something big like the video downloads for Europe at Leipzig.
