i was really pleased with this update when i went on the PStore recently, couldn’t belive how good vidzone actually was, and i tried the overlord 2 demo also, but i wasn’t as impressed with that, i found it to be a little boring and dated.
We’ll have our impressions of Vidzone on the site very soon.
I hope the Vidzone or something like it comes to the US. I won’t complain though because we do have the video portion of the PS Store. Which I find my self using more and more. I’m even considering canceling my mail subscription with Blockbuster.
Loving Vidzone. A very nice addition the the PS3 arsenal. Only slight issue i’ve had with it so far, is that I burned through 3 gig of my download limit in the first day of using it!
they have a download limit on vidzone??
I think he’s referring to his download limit for his internet connection. I have one too.
I’m so glad that they don’t have download limits here in the states. (Although some ISPs have considered it.)
I stand corrected. I did some googling and it looks like Comcast may have a 250GB monthly limit. (It’s better than 3
)
oh right, yea that makes more sense, far as i know i dont have a download limit here, not that i download anything either.
Given the size of movie downloads (especially those in HD)and the size of game/demo downloads. You can see how easy it is for those with caps to quickly reach/exceed them. The positive reviews I’ve heard of the Vidzone are probably only going to make things worse for them.
I am indeed referring to the download limit of my net connection.
Haha, Sky (my ISP) are having a go at me saying i’m reaching my download limit of 40gb… They can’t even prove it!
VidZone is awesome i love its the best thing since trophies.
The burnout island is great value for money and its a great edition to the game
I will pick up the Killzone maps when i get back into Killzone.

I don’t think he has a 3GB limit, that would be crazy. Most likely he has a 10GB one which is most common.
I still think 10 is crazy
I could go through that in a week or two. Not including the bandwidth my wife uses. What’s the reason for such low caps? Infrastructure? Maybe it’s a good thing the PS Video store isn’t available in Europe.
We get scammed….
It certainly seems it. I’d be a pretty unhappy person if my ISP decided to put caps on bandwidth.

This time last year my monthly download limit was just 5GB. However at the end of July last year, I negotiated an increased to 20GB and a reduction in price as well.
I tend to end most months 15GB to 17GB so its just about right. However this month with watching streaming E3 and using Vidzone, plus downloading a couple of big demo’s from the store and im around 15GB at only halfway into the month!
Think I may switch ISP end of July when the contract ends, as I can now get unlimited for a slightly cheaper price.
That’s funny because up until a few months ago I had a 5GB but when I threatened to leave they gave me a 20GB one.
Hmmm. Maybe you are with the same ISP as me. The next tier with my guys is 50GB. I wonder if I will get offered that when I look to move.
I’m with Waitrose. Never heard about a 50GB though.
Hmm. I can’t actually reply to your last comment whoelse, hence this will be out of sequence.
Im with Madasafish, which when I signed up with them were under the Brightview ISP group, as per Waitrose at that time. My ISP were a bit cheaper, not a supermarket, and I had previous dial up experience with them.
