A little while back Sony announced a partnership with Sky TV, for them to bring video on demand to its Playstation Portable console, and luckily for us the service has just gone live with a free one month trial subscription.
Users will be able to download shows from providers such as ABC, ESPN, Disney, BBC, Sony, NBC and Sky Sports, and is only available via PC – unfortunately you can only download the programming via your PC and then upload it to your PSP unit, but with the Wi-Fi speed that the PSP generates, it would take months to just download one show, so it’s probably a good thing.
“Programming will range from US dramas such as library series of Lost and Desperate Housewives (produced by ABC Studios) to hit UK shows such as Doctor Who and Top Gear (from BBC Worldwide) through to FA Premier League football action and blockbuster movies.” – Sky & Sony
Like standard Sky packages, it will be available in three different genres – Comedy, Sport and Entertainment, and once the free month’s trial expires you will expect to pay:
• £5 per month for one pack
• £8 per month for two packs
• £10 per month for all three packs
But there is no need to subscribe, if you simply want to download one specific show it will cost you £1.50 and films will cost you £2.50. New content will be added on a regular basis, so if you’re bored and need something to watch, dust off your PSP and get downloading.
