Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has teamed up with Sky to launch Go!View, a video-on-demand service for the PlayStation Portable console.
The deal will give PSP owners access to regularly updated TV, movies and sport from Sky, transferring the content via their PC.
To promote the service, everyone who registers for the service at www.goview.tv will get a free month’s subscription.
Content will come from a range of distributors and broadcasters including Disney-ABC-ESPN Television, BBC Worldwide, Sony Pictures Television International, NBC Universal International Television Distribution, National Geographic and Sky Sports.
Shows include Lost, Desperate Housewives, Doctor Who and Top Gear as well as FA Premier League football and movies.
Comedy, Sport and Entertainment Packs are available by monthly subscription, whilst selected movies and TV series can be transferred via the rental service on Go!View.
Subscription packs are priced at £5 (€7) for 1 pack, £8 (€11) for 2 packs and £10 (€14) for all three packs and users can trial all three packs free for a month.
Rental TV is available from £1.50 (€2.00) per episode and a range of movies is available from £2.50 (€3.20) each.
This initial launch phase will see the Go!View service constantly growing from now through the autumn. ‘We are working with our content providers to secure a quality range of programming and ensure that PSP™ owners are getting the best possible service on-the-go and on-demand.’ said Alison Turner, General Manager, Go!View Entertainment UK
