PSP Getting Video Download Service
SCEE also announced at its press conference a video download service for the PSP in partnership with British Sky Broadcasting (Sky). Here’s the deal:
The Go! branded Video Download Service will launch in early 2008, and will be the first official PSP video download service anywhere in Europe. It will allow millions of PSP owners to turn their device into a personalised library of programmes to enjoy whenever and wherever they choose.
Unlike other services, the Video Download Service will launch with a rich selection of high quality entertainment. The choice of programmes available will include a diverse mix of Sky content, spanning sports, entertainment, movies, music and animation. In addition to a selection of some of the best content from its own channels, Sky plans to work with third-party channel brands and content owners to create an even more comprehensive service. This is the first time Sky will offer video content through a non-Sky branded service.
The very latest premier movies and high profile sporting events, normally only available to Sky subscribers will be available on a pay per view basis, allowing users to choose their preferred way of using the download service.
As expected, users can use the PSP’s Wi-fi function to download their choice of videos, or download them to the PC and transfer content to the console.
“Both truly mobile and with a best in class high-quality screen, PSP delivers a great on-the-move video experience. Working with such a well known content brand, we will be able to offer PSP owners access to the best in cross-genre Sky content, available through the first official video download service. This really will make PSP the standout all-in-one portable gaming, video and music device”, commented David Reeves, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

Another reason why im buying a PSP when it gets the new chip/memory. Man, I love the way technology just keeps getting better and better. You have the world going hd.. hell, even radio. Cars are being made for safety better, and these little PSP/DS lite handhelds. very cool..
now, are the psp psx graphics or ps2 graphics?

Man you really want that Wii….. I think the comment of the week is a good idea, but you are giving a comment on every story and it’s allways “oh yeah, I love that, I want that game” (and your website is awesome)… come on Wicker man, I would like to see you win, but can you make less comments and make them more interesting??? I know you can do it! (and I’m not being sarcastic….)
