PlayStation Video Store Coming to Canada Very Soon

06/18/2010 Written by Kyle P.

The PlayStation Video Store for Canada was announced during the Sony E3 press conference, but was not given a release date. Well, it looks like an official release date has been decided, and it is closer than many anticipated.

It looks like USA’s neighbours to the north will receive the long awaited video store on July 1st. No word yet if the store will feature all of the content the packed USA store has (which has over 20,000 TV episodes!). But, even if the content is gradually released, I am sure that all of our Canadian friends will not care, because they will be too busy enjoying their favorite HBO content.

Even though this year’s E3 convention is over, that does not mean that PlayStation LifeStyle will stop giving you what you want. Over the next few days, prepare for an onslaught of previews and hands-on impressions of your most anticipated games!

    I don’t think this got enough attention out of E3 that it should. A lot of Canadians are really happy that they are finally getting this service.

    & what about other countries !?

    will someday, somehow such services be available all around the world ? :(

    oh *sigh* …

    cheers!

  3. Is there anyway they could restrict Montreal residents from this? They deserve nothing!

    You must come from Toronto, Philly or Boston to say something like that.
    Go Habs Go!!

    I’ve been waitting forever for this! Canada always gets screwed when it comes to stuff like this.

  5. Actually, I DO have many friends from Toronto, and I’ve been there myself a few times.

    And BOOO Habs : )

    Go Sabres! : )

    Canucks are where it’s at. Go Vancouver!

    Happy to see this feature in Canada.

  7. Sabres? LMAO! No team likes to stay long in Buffalo.

    It’s great we finally get the video store. Though, I prefer to buy my shows and movies on DVD and Blu-ray.

    And I do Agree with TheHater they just made it amid line no more than 3 second announcement,But as long as we are getting it :)

  9. hope it’s true , and not something they’ll announce but still takes years to actually implement .
    renting through my ps3 sometimes would be a welcome change , especially when the video stores are out of the new releases or after a few beers when driving isn’t the best option .

    hopefully too this’ll mean things like comics and Qorocity are northern bound soon too .

    YES! Finally! all that bitching paid off, now i’m just gonna continue to stream my favourite TV shows via my PC. lol

    still, HBO is great… and I hope we get digital comics soon!

  11. I’m a BIG video/sound junkie. Anybody know how renting an HD movie compares to having the bluray disc itself?

  12. Robotron says:

    Now I will stop whining about this.

    ……but I will add SCREW YOU CRTC! ok I’m done.

  13. FiftyQuid says:

    Thanks for checking into this Kyle. I really appreciate it.

    You mention TV shows, but what about movies? I won’t hold my breath for HBO. We’ll get the dumbed down version (HBO Canada).

    Lastly, only a bunch of Canadians could take a PSN announcement and make it into a hockey thread. :) GO SENS GO!

    Not to sound greedy but can we please get extended warranties like they have in the States?
