Before launching EMI, we wanted to ensure VidZone was better and faster so you could party harder. Here are some top features of VidZone 1.15 ? thanks to all at SCEE for their help on this release:

  • Speedy updates: The VidZone application will start-up exceptionally faster and content refreshes will be processed and downloaded quicker.
  • Optimised search: Search is now better than ever before. You can find more of what you want, without 'that scrolling letters search', as virtual keyboard becomes default.

  • Advanced settings: Our videos are multibitrate with hi, med and lo quality settings. You can now control your bandwidth use by fixing these settings (Aussie, Kiwi & Italiano fans ? this is for you!)
  • Overall experience: We have fixed a few minor bugs which will make a big difference to your music experience. Let us know if you can spot them!

VidZone 1.15 goes live TODAY so please download the update ahead of EMI content being published from Tuesday, August 17. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts here or visit our Twitter, Facebookor VidZone PS3 Zone.

Watch this space for more announcements soon! Your VidZone Team

PS ? And yes, EMI and VidZone 1.15 updates are across all 18 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France (with Monaco), Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain (with Gibraltar), Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.

Sounds like a great update. I think I'll be using this more often now since I've got a PS3 in the living room...so it's quite useful to have a playlist running when guests are over etc.

I like to start it up now and then and check out some music that I might like, but my god, I opened it the other day and it took like 40 minutes to download and update the database.

It really really needs to find a better way for doing it, I've said this from the begging but it really needs to be more inline with the Playstation Store and how it is loaded and ready to go just after opening.
