This summer, PlayStation and Sky will launch Go!View, the first official PlayStation Portable® (PSP™) video download service in Europe. Go!View will provide a wealth of programming from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, sport and movies for PSP™ owners to enjoy in addition to their usual gaming experience.

Go!View will allow PSP™ owners to create their own individual TV schedule on their PSP™ – to watch whenever and wherever they choose. The Sky and PlayStation joint venture has developed a service that makes portable, video-on-demand a reality.

Go!View gives PSP™ users the chance to watch their favourite programmes on either a subscription or pay-per-view basis. Once registered on the Go!View website, users will be able to easily download content to the PSP™ via their PC.

“Go!View allows PSP™ users to take advantage of a unique service, adding another dimension to PSP™’s offering” said Owen Jenkinson, Go!View Marketing Manager. “The opportunity to watch top TV and movies on-the-go and on-demand will allow PSP ™ owners to enjoy their favourite entertainment on their own terms, enhancing the PSP’s offering as a portable gaming console.”

“Go!View is a perfect marriage of great content and leading on-demand technology from Sky and the best portable device to watch it on from PlayStation”, Alison Turner, Managing Director, Go!View.

Go!View is the latest addition to the Go! portfolio, designed to supplement PSP™ owners’ gaming experience and give users more flexibility, choice and control. In addition to Go!View’s video download service, users also have access to Go!Messenger, a wireless communication package for PSP™ and Go!Cam, a camera attachment for the PSP™.

PlayTV and now this.

Europe gets all the good stuff.

Shin-Ra · 04-29-2008, 01:18 AM

It might have nothing worth downloading

and the PS3 download service will probably launch first in the US.

Come on, I'm sure there will be something worth downloading. And what PS3 download service are you talking about? Go!View or something else?

Just caught that address on one of the PlayStation Day videos. The service will begin in the UK then roll out to the rest of Europe. TV and movie content will be offered.

Sweet!!! You just have to love Sony

Cplhicks · 05-11-2008, 03:41 AM

I wonder if there's a way to make it think I'm in the UK so I can get downloads too... Come on Sony, where's the plans for the rest of the world?

This is UK only?

partridge · 07-14-2008, 10:07 PM

UK only, probably.

I have signed up and downloaded a few progs. I've already watched the recent Hatton boxing match and the quality was superb, this must have been sourced from HD. I have a few other progs to watch but I am already impressed with this.

A fiver a month for most programmes and a small additional fee for some others, but this is a great idea.

BBC - make a PSP version of the iPlayer!!!

Malosch78 · 07-15-2008, 06:22 AM

Damn it! You can only register when you are from the UK or Ireland

partridge · 07-15-2008, 07:43 AM

I think this was something Sky and Sony did together, rather than a Sony initiative that they could roll out globally.

You could always get in touch with your broadcasters and point them to the website to see if they could offer something similar?

It's a great idea, take your tv with you without the hassle of file sharing and media converting; for a small fee it's all there waiting.
