Sony launches Vidzone service for Europe, Australia, New Zealand
Sony has recently announced that they will begin offering their Vidzone service for the PS3 and PSP in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
If you don’t know what Vidzone is, it’s a free service that allows users to stream pretty much any music video they want to their PS3 and/or PSP through remote play. At launch the service will have 10,000 music videos with more being added regularly. In addition to watching pretty much any music video you want, you can also create a playlist of music videos.
If you are in one of the locations that I listed above you can head over to the Playstation Store and download Vidzone for free.

Netflix job posting points to console expansion
A recent job listing over at Neftlix discovered by Gamaustra details the need for an Engineering Leader for Gaming Platforms. The listing states that all who apply should, ”expect to help build a small technology team to rapidly prototype and iterate on a variety of platforms.”
A variety of platforms, huh? Well, we saw the expansion of Netflix streaming to the Xbox 360 some time ago so who is to say that the Playstation 3, or even the Wii, couldn’t get the same treatment?
Rumors have been floating around that Netflix would be expanding it’s console streaming service to consoles other than the Xbox 360 for some time now. So, it only makes sense that this job listing would point to those rumors and give them a thumbs up.
But wait, maybe they are looking to take on services like OnLive and stream games right to the consoles? We can dream can’t we?
