You Spoke, We Listened, Lets Party

You guys consistently amaze me with how you listen to the community.

Thanks.

Indeed a Brilliant Update Keep it up guys *thumbs up*

Finally 16:9 support. Thank you guys, keep up the great work!

I wish there was some kind of SingStar integration. I don’t know how this should look like, but VidZone and SingStar feel like a perfect match to me.

Great update Ben, I noticed on Friday night that the adverts issue had sorted itself out for me.

All I needed to make Vidzone great

16:9 support – check
Keyboard support – check
Quicker Start times – check

Good job!

Keypad support \o/

Fantastic updates, slow search was really one of the things stopping me from using VidZone, vast improvements made. Keep up the good work.

Looking forward to trying this out when I get home tonight.

I agree with the person above who mentioned Singstar integration, that would be great

Hi, the Vidzone is amazing and i use it very often… but my question is, when put Sony Songs from Balkan (Croatia, Serbia …) in the Vidzone?

THX

Great update, always loved the idea of Vidzone and it was only a lot of small bugs that stopped me from using it more, now this has been sorted I’m sure to be using it much more often!

One question, will this also add the ability to randomise playlists?

Cheers

Well done vidzone team! Greeat update! Now I look forward to more videos

Sounds like a great update. The widescreen and improved search are greatly appreciated.

Great update…but…I don’t have VidZone in my country

Ben, do you have any news when VidZone will spread to other countries (not the accurate date but maybe months or season)?

Hello Ben

Can i ask, off topic. How can we suggest videos to be added to the playlist. As much as i like the current selection we could do with some more Videos in there( wont bore you with loads of names) but it would be nice to know where i could ask for certain vidoes to be added

These changes are really awesome. If I were on elite “VidZone countries list” I would be more than happy

Great update. I asked for Keyboard Support the first day VidZone was released!!!

ingone my post ben just read the the top of the page. Mybad

Thank you for doing all this things.

16:9 Great and the support for the PS3 Remote and the PS3 Keyboard is a very good feature. It is one of the best Updates since this service has started.

But i have one Question. So on some Videos is this real 16:9 or do you zoom in the Videos because there could be some differenz between nativ 16:9 and zoom 4:3 Letterbox.

HD would be nice but you said it doesn’t make sense because only a small part of the productions are in HD now.

But an other Question deeling about Eric Prydz. Why i can’t hearing Panjoo. At this Videos there is the Yellow Danger Symbol. So was does this concret meening? License? USK? or exklusiv for UK and when why?

And it would be nice when Tiesto comes to Vidzone.

And at last could you make in Genre a Part for Elektro or House, or Trance, because i don’t know. When I wanted to search Armin Van Buren in the Dance Genre i don’t find him, so please make a Genre for Elektro it would be nice.

In the next update can you make it so we can use the BD remote on it’s normal port (7)?

Wow!! Thank you! Great update, you’re awesome!

Hi Ben
Great update with great features, but…

When Brazil get VidZone ?

Thanks

I won’t be turning off that Network View thingy, I don’t care who knows that I like Avril Lavigne! She’s got a hot voice, dammit!

You really listened to the users, great update!

Thats soooooo great… Love it… Thank U

Now it just needs an HQ-Function for the Videos – available to choose in the settings – (and MADONNA-Videos) and VIDZONE will be the best Streaming Platform ever!

man do I wish we had this here in the US, sounds like a really cool app . U wouldn’t kno if they plan to release it here, do you?

On a totally separate note, first time checkin out the eu blog, its pretty cool, brighter and more vibrant looking than its US counterpart . Anyways keep up the good work!

Thanks for the update, its a welcome addition

Been following vidzones progress as I wait for it to hit Sweden (any news on release dates for the countries you announced at gamescon btw?) and this is a quality update.

And as an avid Rock Band fan that store section linking to Rock Band track is nothing short of genious. Kudos!

AWESOME.

I’ve used Vidzone a hell of a lot since it launched. So impresse with this service, guys. Ben, you and the team have done a fantastic job on this update, and on everything to do with vidzone.

*raises virtual pint*

@Ben or @Bloody_Marcel:
Do the PS remote buttons work too? Like do the next button give you the next song etc.?

Here’s hoping Sony learns from you.

Only one thing i dont like: Now all of my PSN friens will know how crap my music taste is

You need to stop dragging your heels behind and release VidZone in all countries in Europe (Sweden!) now. And while you are at it release the video store. It’s been over a year since it was introduced in America.

WOW this is massive ! It sounds like you did a huge job. Most of the improvements are those I expected to get the service better than it is. Now we just need more majors involved to get more tracks … any news about that ? thank you and please Ben congrat the team.

Hi Ben, thanks for the update but i have to say we want native 16:9 support for all the videos.

I’ve tested a lot and some doesn’t match the screen or look in very poor quality, i hope you keep working on that.

Cool update. The only thing I think is wrong with Vidzone is no keyboard support and now we’re getting it, plus a load of other stuff. Great job!

Great update everything i wanted but one. the only over thing i want from vidzone now is the ability to listen to the music in game, now that would be sweet.

is ben obsessed with secret celine dion sessions? could you be telling us something?

anyway great Vidzone update and thats one off the check lists of improvements. now to sort out the friends list.

OMG YES EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN SAYING AND YOU DELIVERED I CAN NOT WAIT TO LET MY GIRLFRIEND KNOW ABOUT THIS. YOUR THE MAN BEN & TEAM.

A simple question – does this update include support for the BluRay remote without having to alter the ‘port number’ its’ allocated to?

Jon

Love the changes! now when do I get to try it out here in Belgium?

Great update.

A suqqestion for the next update would be the ability to save favorite searches. I like to check whether any more Weezer vids have been included. If I can save them as a favorite artist or search it would make checking a whole lot easier.

great update, well done & thanks guys!

i was really looking forward to this update (16:9 vid support, audio normalisation, virtual keyboard/better search function) but the XMB song display is great!

now all we need is some decent videos! haha

less celione dion types and more classics (i.e. madonna vids, green day, coldplay, daft punk, chemical bros, blur, the beatles, red hot chili peppers, white stripes etc)

also add more to the current artists i.e. more oasis vids, nirvana, the strokes. thanks and keep it up!

adverts still seem a bit too frequent, approx every 4 vids for me

also can you make the search so that you dont need to specify THE before a band name? I should be able to type “prodigy” aswell as “the prodigy” to find the band. thanks!

You guys are fantastic!
A pleasure too have you on board with PlayStation 3.

If only you guys could do the ps3 firmware updates

Good job Vidzone team!

Hey is Nina doing the Singstore update list today for Thursday????

Wow that has got to be the best product update ever!!! You’ve addressed every minor quibble I had with the service – slow startup, lack of widescreen, lack of keyboard support, normalised volume level, and the adverts – and also added/fixed things I didn’t think of!

Limiting the ads to every 15 minutes is a genius idea, and was exactly the solution I was looking for – as someone who flicks through a lot of tracks having ads every X number of videos didn’t really work of me as I flick through so many.

You guys get a serious thumbs up from me and probably from every other VidZone user, you’ve listened to everything we’ve asked for and added it in a single update! For people without VidZone, this update would be equivalent to Sony adding cross-game invites, cross-game voice chat, and global in-game XMB music and internet support in the recent FW3.0 update – i.e. the Holy Grail of patches!!! lol

Ben,

my congratulations to you and your team. This is a great update but, more importantly, one can tell how passionate you are about your job.

Now if you could bring something by Ryuichi Sakamoto to Vidzone i’d be in heaven!

Thanks Ben, in that case, your update is flawless. Damn!

Do you know whem I search some artists… They come up in the search, but when I click their name, nothing is found. I’m from the UK. For example I search Juanes > It comes up with the name but no videos.

Is this to do with the language/country barrier?

wow guys! you are great

this is seriously all i wanted

keep up the awesome work people!
