Sony video service to hit Europe in 2010

European PS3 users to receive film and TV system next year

Sony is set to deliver on its promise of a video distribution service for Europe, announcing the system will launch next year.

The announcement came during Kaz Hirai’s keynote speech at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.

He told attendees: “We introduced a new video distribution service in the US, with 300 movie titles at launch and 1200 episodes of TV drama. Today, we have more than 13,300 TV dramas and 23,000 movies, and this service is going to be expanded outside the US.

“We are planning on rolling this service out to all of Europe by the end of 2010.”

Sony previously confirmed its movies-on-demand service would be heading to European PS3 users at this year’s Gamescom.

I see it says all of europe by the end of 2010. I know its a long shot, but that does not rule out the UK getting it sooner. I'm sure it will come to the big countries 1st.

UK, Germany & Spain to receive the service in November, the rest of Europe in 2010. Henry would you rather buy glitchy products that need a patch to work, let alone stay stable or the finished article. Rushing projects for release would do more damage to the brand. Why are movie tie ins so bad, because there rushed!
