More TV on Your PSP, But Still Overseas

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 31, 2007 -- Sony's hatched another deal for people to watch TV without having to shell out for their LocationFree system. However, unlike the Japanese 1seg system, this one will work with old and new PSPs alike... in the UK and Ireland.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has partnered with British broadcaster BSkyB to provide films, TV shows and videos to PSP owners via a Wi-Fi download service, either on a subscription or pay-per-view basis. BSkyB also plans to extend the service to other devices in the future. No date for the rollout has been set as yet, though Sony will be announcing it late August at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany.

So -- first Japan, now the UK. Any chance we'll be seeing some deals a little closer to home anytime soon?
