Video Download Service Update

Do you plan 2 offer any subscription deals like lovefilm? Your store would definitely b more convenient & I’d rather my money go 2 u, but with lovefilm I get 2 movies at a time, an unlimited amount of times per month all for £12 per month. U don’t even pay 4 postage with them. As urs is a download service where u don’t have 2 pay 4 everyones postage I would have excepted u 2 at least try 2 b competitive. Instead we get single rental downloads 4 £3.50 a time & movies available 4 rent anywhere else already not coming on until several weeks later. I do really love the idea psn but feel you’ve a way 2 go b4 u steal my custom away. Please do try though I’d much rather use ur services.

I’d become a new Vidzone viewer since yesterday. What a great service this is. Even my wife didn´t mind I was testing this out. She is using the PS3 now, I can’t game anymore

Look at the french blog. EVERY comment is asking for original english versions with french subtitles ! France wants English with french subtitles!

Why can’t we even purchase HD movies? Only rent? I for one am not buying anything off the movie store until you get your act together and give is the “buy in HD” option.

It’s great to see that these kinds of services are slowly coming to Europe as well, even though they are sverely lacking and incomplete.

The blame, however, rests solely on the studios and their geriatric Boards of Directors who still live in the previous millennium and cling to business models that were made for an environment where national boundaries actually mattered.

It’s no longer than 15 years ago that a simultaneous worldwide release of a movie was a logistical nightmare that was hard to defend from an ROI standpoint. Hence, different release dates for different territories were a natural consequence of the technological possibilites. These days it’s all a different story, of course, and the studios are obviously having a hard time catching up.

I quote the article;

Another promotion is for all new PlayStation Network users: if you register between November 19 and 30, we will send you a voucher for Transformers movie download. If you just got a new PS3 or an old one and still haven’t registered on PSN, you have until Monday in order to receive your free Transformers download. It’s really simple as all you have to do is register and wait for Transformers voucher to arrive early December!

So people who have spent £220 on a PS3 Slim get free goodies, whilst someone like me with a £425 PS3 plus a £145 refurb plus a back catalogue of games gets zilch! Well done on isolating your most loyal customers in favour of people who couldn’t be arsed paying much! Again proving you don’t care one iota about existing customers!

I was very dissapointed to see that ireland didn’t get the video store it said in the orginal press release that ireland would get it but when i downloaded the new firmware 3.10 it wasn’t there please could i get an answer to this as i have looked all over the internet for a reason why it hasn’t been added to ireland but to no success.

i hope you weren’t driving while watching the psp on the way home.
was a bus driver cought playing his psp while driving, was in the newspaper, so nobody can say it never happens

where are all the tv shows i want scrubs familyguy, 2 and a half men, american dad, and top gear

so you can buy 1 DvD for 9 pound on da store or i can go to HMV and get 4 DVDS for 20 pound. you really tink u have a monopoly on movies so u give us $h!t only gd price is for renting haha and ri now i can go gamestop and get a DvD for 3 euro so thats not even worth it so please dnt bring the vid store to Ireland its a waste of time and effort and i dnt want 3 or 4 PSN store logos next you will have a icon for music and pictures so PLEASE dnt bring the vid store to Ireland

Why did our Spanish neighbors get this Video Download Service and we (Portuguese) didn’t yet?

This particular service should be already available, and preferably all over the world..
It’s sad the lack of support we see from sony..

Bloody hell, i would like to see the negative comments actually addressed for once rather than floated over for the asspattings..

also, why can you only rent HD? are sony actually capable of thought? Whats the difference aside from sharper picture? Does it immolate your Hard Drive when played 666 times? Or is it just Sony milking people for money?

*looks at last point* Yep, could’ve seen that one coming

When Poland???????????

Huh, I guess I’m not missing much so far.
Hope everything gets sorted when it’s released in sweden (subs, 5.1 sound, servercapacity).

hhmmm not good slow speeds to download and now I’ve tried to watch my first rental it keeps stopping with data is corrupted errors!! Try to download it again and it wants me to pay again, who do I have to contact to get it sorted out!!

As SCEE keep on delaying things the more I lose interest them and this one thing i have lost interest in. I also have lost interest in Home. I find PlayTV more convient for myself.

one word, two silables, first silable sounds like “glove”, second silable sounds like ….er….. you know what? i don’t think there’s a word in the English language that rhymes with film. that’s funny!

So, that would mean you get the film in it’s original language with subtitle and sound options AND all the extras, and no rental, beit SD or HD, costs more that £2.

THEN, you would also have a rating/review functionality, that would probably go so far as to create a bit of a community and increased traffic on the store.

i appreciate it’s early days yet but in this day and age the service is just second rate. the search option suck also.

seriously guys, the modles are out there already and have proved themselves.

lovefilm all the way. just watched “I’m a cyborg, and that’s OK.” would recommend to anyone who thinks that Angels and Demons, The DiVinci Code AND Transformers 2 all suck.

ps. the guy who mentioned Park Chan Wook and Beat Tikeshi? excellent choice, Sir.

@imajinetion #35;

Actually, UK, Spain, France and Germany accounts for 30% of the entire european population, so 95% is way off base.

when in Portugal ?

When Poland????????

totally agree why sony?

@sammi
TOTALLY AGREE

yes sony what about existing £425 owners ?

Speed up the downloads

I have a blockbuster 10mins from my house, so waiting 5 hours for a film to download is a waste of my time. I could have walked to Blockbuster and watched the film about 3 hours before the download has even finished.

You’ll probably ignore this comment though

That is all

i agree to i spent £425 and £145 refurb where is our freebies ??

Hi Olga ! I hope you had a nice week-end, and a good time with terminator ! I watched it 2 days ago on blu-ray, I liked it Also, I wanted to thank you for your answer about the original version and subtitiles You gave me hope ! Cya next Thursday / Friday for a new update !

@54 (JetSetWilly)

Ditto that mate…I too am in the Isle of Man, a UK resident, and would love for SCEE to get this sorted for us!

SCEE, the same problem happened when Vidzone went live however Vidzone did a great job on getting the service out to us ASAP, I hope you guys do the same :0)

hi can you please pleases tell me when the video store content on playstation network for psp well release on new Zealand?

crazysaw
i agree to i spent £425 and £145 refurb where is our freebies ??

Yeah come on sony at least give us an answer

hi xenokiller90 crazysaw is a good mate of mine & i also have a £425 release day console. i bet none of us get an answer to this question.

When Poland??

Hi, any plans for more christmas movies. Really is not that many on the store. And could you make easier to find them. Cheers.

Hi mint5000,No it don’t look like we are gonna get an answer,shame cause it just causes ill feelings,I have had every playstation from launch since 96 and consisder myself a bit of a sony fanboy,but I recently played on a xbox 360 elite,and bought my own i was that impressed,everthing sony are doing wrong,microsoft are doing right,the only good thing that keeps me going are the exclusives,uncharted,R&C,etc.Nobody on these blogs actually listens to joe public if they did they would make more money not less.
Epic Fail

i to have had 3 original playstations & still own a psone, playstation 2, ps2 slim, playstation 3 60g & ps3 slim 250g so i think me a sony fanboy too. dunno why they can’t even answer me!

Love the video store theory etc and used it the other night, although HD Coraline took several nights to download, but happy to live with that for the time being.

My issue is this, surely not a unique scenario. My GF and i started watching the film and then a friend unexpectedly visited. Becasue we had started the film it then triggered the 48 hrs expiry. We had other arrangements the next two nights so i only managed to watch the first hour in the end. If this 48hr countdown doesn’t change in the future then I won’t be using this service anymore. Why would i when i can watch at my leisure with love film, for example. Explained this scenario to a few friends who were interested that this service was now available on PS3 and they all agreed, the flexibility to watch when you want, within reason, say – a fortnight – is required.

So I paid 4.49 GBP for an hours film and no way to see the rest without payign for hire again.

Could someone at Sony let me know if this limit can be changed in the future or how i go about making a complaint and seeking a duplicate free download or refund.

Thank you

When POLAND???
