Whilst we’re still waiting on the green light to discuss the finer details of the PlayStation Network Video Delivery Service (catchy) we can say that it’s really not very far away.  At all.  Myself and Davs are on the way to the launch party in London right now, and as soon as we can there’ll be tweets going out [@_nofi,@djhsecondnature] (and then the rest of the guys are on standby to pick them up) but in the meantime, here’s the final launch trailer which gives you an exclusive idea of the content coming soon…

If anyone else is going to the party, say hi, and we’ll see you there.

  1. Sound quality in that video isn’t very… HD :S


    • It’s a demo of the quality you can expect ;)


  2. It does say the 19th on the end of the video right? :O


    • NO, of course not. That would mean we’ve spoiled the surprise. Clean your ears out.


      • Nofi, just seen your Tweet about how long it took a reader to realise the date was on there! Lmao, evidently RadioactiveMouse was the first one to watch it til the end ;) Geeeez


      • :P I didn’t hear it the first time through as I was busy reading then I went… “Hang on a second…” *slapped head, rewound the video and wrote comment soon after * :)


  3. i will admit i didn’t expect them to actually launch the video store in november.
    but then here they go announcing it for tomorrow.
    still time for some unforeseen circumstances though :)


  4. Oooh nice. Looks like I’ll have to stick a new HDD on the Christmas list. And a popcorn maker.


    • Slapped a nice 320GB drive in my 40GB model few months back. 40 quid from amazon, pretty pleased with it. However, I didn’t need one that big, even downloading every demo I could possibly want I haven’t gone below 200GB free.


      • Butterkist toffee popcorn btw ;)


      • 500gig


    • Briefly: Holy Crap it’s Pixl1983 etc…


  5. Looks good, all depends on the pricing though. Enjoy the party guys!


  6. Tomorrow!!!
    Firmware update tonight then? :D


    • If only you went through all the posts in chronological order to add your comments.


      • Why would that be?

        It’s not like I posted it on both pages or anything …… :P


  7. I’m looking forward to giving the Video Store a try, probably more so for renting HD titles.


    • That’s probably all I’ll use it for. Prices will have to be reasonable though.


  8. Can one of the guys there ask or find out if the movies purchased can be exported to an external HDD from the XMB. A bit similar to PlayTV files that you export to the XMB, they can be transferred to an external HDD so i would like to know if i can do the same.

    I have around 500gb of external HDD waiting to be filled with HD films from the store if the price is right of course. If it wont allow this then it would force me into rent only and the prices would have to be good to beat my love film subscription.

    Thanks and have a good time…


    • they updated the firmware a while back to allow you to backup your downloaded store videos to an external drive, for the americans at least, the same function should work for our store.


      • Is it a back up you can play from the external source or do you have to restore it to the XMB? I know it might seem a dum question but back up can mean different things.

        Thanks for the info though. After the PlayTV DRM debacle i was pleased to see that exporting to an external HDD was allowed, although it does reduce the quality a tad.

        I am sure TSA will have the full details later tonight or early tomorrow.


  9. So the 19th then! thanks mr voice over guy!


  10. Cool, I’m looking forward to the vido store. Got a 1TB external HDD connected to my PS3, so file size won’t be the problem. But I guess it’s gonna be looong downloads.
    Have fun on the launch party :)


  11. no word back from the party on price yet?


    • Hasn’t started yet.


  12. I’ve created a story out of this on N4G, it is currently pending with 3 approvals.

    Hope that’s ok like…I saw the N4G link thing so I thought why not…


  13. Seriously, this is fantastic.

    Thank you SONY :)

    now ffs, the one thing missing is a robust party and party chat system :(

    that is ALL else missing.
