I am so excited I have almost lost bodily functions!!
You have all been screaming for these dates and we finally have everything finalized, it’s felt like a lifetime but the day is finally here… You have no interest in anything I have to say apart from these dates so I’ll shut up and get on with it
The dates that the new VidZone Countries will be live are……….(Long X-Factor style pause)……
……….…………………………………………………………
- Thursday 26th November: Netherlands, Portugal, Austria
- Thursday 3rd December: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland
- Thursday 10th December: Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, New Zealand
After downloading the VidZone application from the PlayStation Store and opening it for the first time, you may have to wait up to 15 minutes for it to update so it shows all up to date videos and playlists. THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU START VIDZONE. The next time you open it will open within seconds. I promise!
Just as a little taster and to prove we have are paying attention to every countries local artists here is a couple of artists you will be able to find on the service in each country. This is obviously in addition to the amazing international artists that you come to expect, Everything from Rihanna to Metallica, Eminem to Eurythmics
- Austria – Falco, Herbstrock, Mondscheiner, Valerie
- Netherlands – Armin Van Buuren, Leaf, Fedde Le Grand
- Portugal – Buraka Som Sistema, Paulo Gonzo
- Sweden – Darin, ABBA, The Hives, Peter Jöback
- Denmark – Infernal, Thomas Helmig, Nephew
- Norway – Madcon, Maria Mena
- Finland – The Rasmus, Anna Puu, Lordi
- Belgium – Sylver, Lara Fabian, Lasgo, Kate Ryan
- Luxembourg – Laurent Wolf, Eros Ramazzotti
- Switzerland – Gotthard
- New Zealand – Ladyhawke, Smashproof
You cool with that? Let me know what you think.
Ben

At long last! Thanks for this Ben, must feel good to not have to answer these questions on the blog anymore huh?
Looking forward to this, thx for putting the extra effort into local artists too.
Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 4:27 pm by Ben Creasey
Hi Bahamut44-4
You have no idea how relieved I am. Don’t get me wrong I love the fact everyone want VidZone in their country. But I don’t like not being able to give people the answers they want.

Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 3:28 pm by TehPhilosopher
Yesss, Lordi! But as an expat Finn living in Holland, will I be able to view Lordi? IOW, is the content the same for all countries?

Will VidZone ever come to the UAE? I’d love for it to come here, but chances look slim… still, great work guys, keep it up!

Guys stop asking about the VIDEO STORE. VIDZONE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SCEE.

Hi, great that it’s coming soon to the Netherlands. Two questions though:
1 – Is Vidzone a free service or must I pay for every videoclip I see?
2 – I’m Portuguese, but live in the Netherlands. Will I be able to see Portuguese artists from Portugal’s service?
Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 4:30 pm by Ben Creasey
Hi Vads1972
It all depends what licenses we have for a certain artist in a certain country. You will see only videos with a license for Holland in Holland but usually the licenses we have cover the majority of the VidZone services whether the atrist is from another country or not.
If there is anything missing let us know and we will try and get it for you.

Eros Ramazzotti a local artist of Luxembourg? I thought he was Italian.
Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 4:43 pm by Ben Creasey
Hi StefNighthawk
True… But we know that he is very popular in Luxumbourg, so we added him to your list.
22
Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 3:37 pm by Arion87

Hopefully this will put an end to the constant whining that accompanies every Vidzone update, store update and….well….any update at all really.
Perhaps we can actuality keep a post on topic too!!
Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 4:33 pm by Ben Creasey
Hey SpiderMike
I hope people are happy and that we can keep on topic too. But… Sometimes whining is the only way you get what you want… So I forgive everyone

Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 3:41 pm by DarkUsS88
Ben, can you please inform me if there are any plans at all to bring Vidzone to Greece? I’m not asking for anything more than just a confirmation that there are indeed plans for this.
Thanks.

Posted on 17 November, 2009 at 3:41 pm by X201
Ben, could you have a look at The Stranglers content on the UK VidZone. They have a category but the timer icon just whirs forever and no content appears.
Thanks.

Still not in Czech Republic. As always. Why Sony not have a global PSN with all content in one place??? This decentralized system is silly.

Great news! Thanks… wait I forgot I’m still in Poland.
When I saw your news about Underworld and Chemical Bros. I started to like VidZone very much.
Could you plz share with us, what is behind selecting different countries in different moments? What about your rollout plans for 2010?
