PS3 Video Store – Euro roll out tomorrow!
The Euro Playstation blog has just announced the new video store arrives on PSN tomorrow. The Claw has been waiting for this for a long time. At last that transatlantic rage we’ve been suppressing can ebb slightly.
Here’s the blurb:
You’ve been waiting for movies to come to PlayStation Network and we can finally confirm some exciting news! Video Store will be available in the UK, France, Germany and Spain starting tomorrow November 19! Are you ready?
We’ve got amazing content lined up for you at launch, loads of latest new releases and all-time favourite classics. I will be updating you weekly via PlayStation Blog with all the new additions.
Now you can save the trip to the shops and enjoy hundreds of films in the comfort of your own sofa on your PS3 or on the go with PSP.
To celebrate the launch we are giving you PlayStation fans something extra! Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code: Two Great Movies for the Price of One! Its simple – you buy Angels & Demons and we e-mail you the voucher for The Da Vinci code. How great is that?
And if you are new to PlayStation we don’t want you to miss out! Just register your new console on PlayStation Network between November 19 and 30 and we will send you a voucher for Transformers movie. Yep, you can own Megan Fox in HD on your PS3 forever!
Not sure about The Da Vinci Code but that Transformers deal sounds decent. The store will reputedly have over 2000 offerings from the off and is set to grow weekly in a similar manner to the now huge US version. Pricing is reportedly €1.99 per rental and €7.99 to own a film. HD titles initially only available to rent.
We can’t wait – there goes that rental by mail subscription… \o/

Looks pretty good and a lot of choice, although there are some considerable gaps in HD and rental availability e.g. Transformers & Star Trek were only available in SD and only to buy. I’ve heard some good reports about the quality of the HD offerings too which are at least Sky HD quality but not as good as Blu Ray obviously.
I don’t think I’d ever use this to purchase a title to keep but maybe for the odd rental it could be handy (or the Xbox Zune Marketplace which is similar).

Yeah rental is is what I’m looking to with the service. Have to say the HD download is slooooow. I’d estimate 20 hours to download the 3rd Harry Potter film. I’d hope it was an anomaly but if that’s the norm then some serious forward planning would be required.
