Sony teams with Sky for PSP video on demand in Europe

While PSP users in Japan will soon be able to use their preferred handheld to pick up some digital broadcast TV, those in Europe will apparently be getting some new video options of a different sort, with Sony today announcing a partnership with Sky that'll see the two form a new company to offer video on demand. Details are unfortunately still pretty light at the moment, but the service (offering "a wealth of video and film content") will apparently be available in the UK and Ireland initially, with talk of further expansion in Europe reportedly still "ongoing." According to GamesIndustry.biz, the two will have plenty more to say about it at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany on August 22nd.

It's nice to be in the UK and get something first for once

What about litle Denmark? :D I hope they will launch a Freeview program (DVB-T) at Leipzig for PS3, so the rest of Europe can watch and record DVB-T, maybe in HD?

It's nice for Ireland to be included for once!
