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™.

It might have nothing worth downloading and the PS3 download service will probably launch first in the US.
