Default VidZone (PS3)

Well how bloody kewl is this then. A new update this week on the PlayStation Network see's the introduction of Vidzone. which is an entirely free service that streams music videos. Sat here on the lappy just queuing up a play list of some quality music. First up was the full length Thriller Video followed by Sir Rick of Astley. Some of the features of VidZone

* Build your own playlists ala Spotify
* Play Predefined playlists (e.g. 80's, Rock, Live Sets)
* Near HD Quality dependant on net connection.

Some features coming soon is full widescreen support. Considering it's free and the adds are pretty unobtrusive, it gets a good 8/10 from me. It's like MTV used to be back in the day, cool

Well worth the install on your PSN account

Pah when they had real music on for more than two videos in a row was when Ray Cokes was a VJ and Davina Mcall was his teenage assistant. I gave up on MTV when Kurt Cobain died. MTV Died along with Kurt

It's epic, really streamlined, good quality vids, only problem i have atm is the rather small collection of music but they've promised to add music pretty much every week so i'm happy.

Just not my taste in music i'm afraid. Feeling a little guilty about the sweeping statement, i'd like to rephrase it as 'I feel he's overrated'

It's cool Streeteh. I think Kurt Cobain & Nirvana, like The Beatles, usually get very polarised opinions.

I wrote a bit about VidZone on my Blog, it's really surprised me, much better than I thought it would be.
