Happy Australia Day from VidZone!

Australia has a day? Who would have thought? Nah, I’m joking… I knew that. Well we couldn’t let this one slip by without contributing something to the party. Now what do you think we could give to the Australian people to help them celebrate? Alcohol? Nope, BBQ food? fraid not. Party hats? don’t be stupid!… Not got it yet… A PLAYLIST OF COURSE!!!

We have videos from everyone that is anyone in the Australian music scene. From Pendulum to Powderfinger, Hilltop Hoods to Hunters and Collectors.

This one is only available to Australian VidZone users (for obvious reasons) and will be available on Monday 25th of January which I know is a day early, but it gives you a day to check out the videos before the main event.

Hope you all have a “Bonza” day (sorry I had to put one in…) Let me know how it went!

Right I’m off…

Ben

Australia Day?…. isn’t that when the sport of kangaroo-tying is played? Only kidding – have a great day all you Aussies!
I wish we could view other countries playlists, that would be cool.

Wooo! Thanks

I love VidZone so i thought id ask you something to help improve

Is there any chance maybe through a future update to show what videos you’ve currently got downnloaded to my ps3?
It would be great if i could choose which videos i want to keep on my HDD and replace the ones that dont want anymore with new ones. My internet is so slow it takes AGES to re-download my favourite videos. I hope that makes sence

“Bonza”?

Anyway, there better be some Birds of Tokyo or Karnivool being added. That’d make an epic Australia Day sure.

Cheers mate, gunna listen to some Vidzone before BDO tomorrow.

would be nice to listen to these in other countries as well. Or is it strictly a copyright limitation?

Hi, first I have to say that I like Videzone but I also have some complaints. Like for example the start up time which is still to long the sound and video quality which is uneven and the fact that some searches result are found but give “emty artist”. My gf also finds the interface somewhat confusing bacuse it doesnt conform to normalt ps3 controls. And finaly sometimes videos take forever to load and I’m on a 100/100Mbps line.

Keep up the good work
