Among the wealth of Sony news coming out of Europe today are some more details on the previously announced PSP video download service, which is now officially known as the Go! Video Download Service. As we knew before, Britain's Sky Broadcasting is Sony's key partner here, with it providing a range of content from its own channels, as well as from some unspecified third-party channels and content owners it plans to work with. Apparently among the content set to be on offer are the "very latest premier movies and high profile sporting events," which will be available on a pay-per-view basis (no word if there'll be any freebies for other content). According to Sony, PSP users will be able to both download content directly using a WiFi connection, or transfer content they've downloaded using their PC. Look for the service to launch in "early 2008."
Free content? From Sky? Not bloody likely.
another crappy gimmick from sony that is designed to empty your purse!
"available on a pay-per-view basis" - oh really
Oh my God, is that Hogfather he's watching? I want to go to Europe now.
maybe the 5 people that own a psp will have a great time paying for tv shows that you can watch for free at home, or maybe they will realize they bought into yet another proprietary format from the Sony money-making machine. Meanwhile, I'll listen to the music I recorded on my minidisc thru my walkman
Even for a mindless microsoft zealot (which i'm not saying you are), it's pretty difficult to defend such a statement. 25 million devices out there, 9 of them in the US and and another 9 in their prospective market for the service (EU). Sounds like a freaking lot of devices to me.

AGREEDS. Anderson has spoken like a true dipshit
yup - flameon fanboys
does it mean there isnt more than 4 people that own GC or XBOX?
cause may i remind you that the PSP sold more than the XBOX and Gamecube?
and it will probably outsell N64 next year
