Confirmed: Sony Set to Launch VidZone PS3 Service on June 11

I would trade the video store for the PlayStation TV and VidZone any day. I suppose I'll try downloading this tomorrow anyways, would be great if it works on my US console.

let us know how it works out, i would love this feature as well, sucks that the US isn't getting it. i don't have time to test it out tomorrow.

What Playstation Store will this be in? US/EU/JPN? it doesnt mention..

Also, what sorta bandwidth do you require for this? does it stream it for each video? or will it cache them entirely first? will it cache at all? this could be a huge BANDWIDTH consumer if these files are huge!

I am confused as well.... Sony entertainment of Europe may have announced it. But it may come out for the USA as well? I don't know it sounds pretty cool though.

I signed up with my EU console today and there is no update yet. Does anyone has more info?

Yeah, kind a Strange stuff. I live in Australia and I've been checking PSN regularly throughout the day and I haven't found any Vidzone App.

I pretty confused because Vidzone did say that they were launching "tonight" so where is the app?

i guess us canadians wont have vidzone we dont evene have the tv chanels this suck i would like all this but sony dont care about canadians so they give us nothing thanks sony for your north american region oh sorry i mean USA canada is not in there guess

Tested this in the morning at 9PM (GMT+2) and it wasn't accessible with a UK account! I'll try this in 2 hours and post some results back!

Just to let you know, this is out under Other> Applications and Services in the Store. It is a 23MB download.

Enjoy! :)

Confirmed not to be working in the netherlands (by me) :crazy:

The app is most probably IP region locked, I live in Romania (Europe), trying to access it trough an UK account and it's not possible! HOME and PS Store works but vidzone is not!:(~ Of course my default account does not work with neither one :mad: !
It says it's only available in UK, Spain, France and some other countries...

So sadly for the majority of PS3 users, this time SONY WAS SMART ENOUGH TO SCAN FOR IP REGIONS not only for users countries!

Hehehe.. I'll try a proxy sometime later and share the results with you!

For everyone who got the TOO BUSY error don't try it no more if you are not in those countries! IT JUST DOES NOT WORK!

I'm able to connect using a proxy, but I still receive an error during the update library thing.

EDIT: Ok I got VidZone working using a proxy server. It took a while but I'm in finally. I guess it depends on the server's load (public free proxy servers suck in general anyway)

Good work. What country's store are you connecting at? UK store?

Hi i got this on my uk console (in uk) and while its quite good, there are several annoying problems with it...

1. Unable to accept license unless you use a controller (ie can't use the BD remote)
2. Unable to use the service at all with a BD remote! (Come on - WTF!?)
3. Poor/unintuative navigation (eg to get back to the main menu, once you have something playing, you have to go into a sub menu and then find a link at the bottom of one of the menus to go to the homepage)
4. Horrendous load time for intiial application boot up (AFTER initial installation boot - which takes even longer while it sets up the vid library)

Nice idea, poorly implemented. :(

Will probably use it from time to time, but the titles listed currently are pretty limited - has a Search feature so i thought i'd try for some GreenDay - not a sausage. Has got most UK chart stuff though by the looks of it - hopefully they'll expand the title list.

My rating: 6/10
(Would much prefer to have the video store you lot in the US have!!)

PSPSwampy.

Ya, UK account and UK store.

Tested and works nice, 23 MB Download, Install... and then go. My Ps3 is now worked by my Girlfriend -.- Crap :D But nice, the videos loads up fast and the sound is very good.

Vid Quality is ahh not so nice, but ok. And the Remote doesn't work proper in v 1.01.

Hi... could you give me a little help on how you got it to work with proxy?.... im using the PS3.ProxyServer.GUI

You make a new XMB/PSN account for the country that's supported by VidZone. go to the shop and download the application and install it.

Search for a fast and reliable proxy server (pay-server preferred).
Go to network settings, when prompted to use a proxy server, enter it's IP and port number, Test you connection and start VidZone. No need to use PS3.ProxyServer.GUI. Just make sure the proxy server matches the country you want to use to get into VidZone

Yes, I would love to have the video store too. PS3 stores should have the same content to offer all the users as much as possible.

I'm trying for more than 2 hours with various proxy sites, the best I accomplished was getting by the country check, even the initial database download, but got stuck at UPDATING feeds is with this proxy:

[SIZE=4][COLOR=black]213.229.149.94:8080[/COLOR][/SIZE] - UK account from Romania ;)

If anyone has a better proxy that offers speed and access to UK account please share! I tried all addresses that were freely available on the net! Please advise!

you can try 62.159.30.165:8080 (Germany proxy) worked for me :)

R.

Still stuck at updating video feeds.. must be some network error from my side... maybe my router? I'll try some direct connection (PPPOE) but it's pretty difficult because of how I made the wiring throughout the apartment!

All these people who are the the US and complain they can't get vidzone should think themselves lucky . We in Europe haven't got the video store on PSN that you in the US have, so you give us access to the PSN video store and we'll give you vidstore. sounds fair to me.

ice :hmm:

Is there any chance Sony will start video store in Europe and vidZone for other countries than UK /do not want to use proxy/ I can not find any info about it on official playstation web? thanks
