Free music videos come to PS3

SCEE partners with VidZone to bring a video streaming music service featuring the hottest tracks to PlayStation 3.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced at Games Convention in Leipzig that VidZone, the online destination for music videos, will deliver their free streaming music video service to PlayStation 3.

The trial service is scheduled for launch in early 2009 for Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and is sure to be a hit with music lovers everywhere. 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.

VidZone is one of Europe’s leading online music video services, streaming a full playlist of 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.

SCEE will be launching a comprehensive film, TV and music download service at a later date.
