Ben Creasey, Head of Production at the PlayStation music video streaming service VidZone, posted on the European PlayStation Blog recently regarding news of the service’s expanded availability in other countries over and above the current list including Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the UK.
