SCEA: Go! services, PlayTV currently exclusive to Europe
Following SCEE‘s announcement of new services available for the PS3 and the PSP during its press conference at Leipzig, SCEA announced that availability of the mentioned services is still under evaluation for the U.S. For now, the Go! services and PlayTV will only be available in SCEE territories.
The unveiled Go! services and the PlayTV will launch in Europe next year, and the Go!Explore service is currently available in Japan. SCEA tells GamesIndustry.biz:
[We] want to ensure there is the appropriate level of software that would be applicable and bring value to the consumers in North America. [We] will continue to explore appropriate and compelling software that would allow us to bring this feature to PSP in our market.
To make the Go!Video download service available in Europe, SCEE partnered with British Sky Broadcasting. SCEA is currently “evaluating similar types of partnerships in North America.” Dave Karraker of SCEA comments, “We understand and respect the consumer interest in this type of service, and we will continue to explore downloadable content options for our territory.”
