Sony’s Music Video Service VidZone Relaunches Today on PSN
Do you like music? Who doesn’t? Like videos? Even better. How about putting the two together? Now we’re cooking! Earlier this morning Sony announced that a new and improved version of its music video service VidZone will be made available to all PlayStation Network users today.
For those that aren’t familiar with the service, VidZone is a free music video streaming service available in most of Europe that features some much needed improvements since it first graced Sony’s platform. VidZone is getting a reboot/relaunch of sorts and will feature all sorts of new updates that improve the service.
Improvements include an easier to use navigation system in addition to five new features:
- Zones, a place where you can browse/find music according to genre/theme
- My Zone, a custom version of the Zones feature
- V-Mix, a “smart playlist generator”
- Social Connectivity through Facebook integration
- An optimized search function
You’ll be able to download the service through a new update that will be made available via the XMB’s music section.

Is this service free?
Yup, added the word free to the article
Yep, it’s free. It’s one of my favorite apps on PSN! Try it out!
i’ll be trying it out as well. is it region free?
Nice! Now if Sony could finally update the browser I’ll be a happy gamer
but why there’s nothing on the ps blog or something like it.. I coudn’t find this info somewhere else… and when it says all psn user it really means ALL or just the already legally licensed countries??
Dang. Not in US then? :’(
checked the xmb and there is nothing there, is this still a EU only thing because you did say “all” psn users. and you did say “today” so pardon me if im a bit confused as to why i not watching music videos right now. i’ve wanted this service since they announced it for the EU some time ago, i even used my EU psn account to dload it when it first came out, but because im on a US server, it didnt let me use it.
In Canada here, still not on my PS3 fail sauce…
