ITV Player, 4OD "This Week" on PS3

TSA Writes:
If British tax-dodging newspaper, The Guardian, is to be believed, we’re getting two new channels added to the PlayStation 3′s catch-up TV services. The liberal paper has spoken to several key players in the deals and is reporting it as an example of the convergence of new and old media.

It's about time we got these, I would use 4oD all the time on my laptop... should make things easier.

robep35314d ago

There was a Playstation add in the Sunday Papers that stated
ITV player and 4OD would be on the playstation soon!

ForzaGT5314d ago

BBC iplayer, nowfilms, now these two, its looking good now

outwar60105314d ago

dude isnt everyones sky box like inches away from the ps3 anyway it would be pointless to extra for a dodgy app when u get the full experience with ease

kharma455314d ago

Not always, you might have Sky in one room but not in the same one as the PS3 and multiroom may not be for some reason an option.

Plus you can use Sky Player if say you were at uni with your PS3 and your parents paid for a multiroom sub.

jjmustoe5314d ago

@kharma45

you have to pay £7.50 a month for Sky Player + 5.99 for Xbox Live Gold

multiroom is 9.99 a month + a free sky box

Si-Fly5314d ago

@outwar ; nope, I have a seperate games/geek out room to keep the GF happy, sky player would be a welcome addition!

redsquad5314d ago

My dad has hijacked the Sky box for another room (can't complain, as he's disabled!), so I get lumbered with Freeview. Sky Player on PS3 would come in handy!

kharma455314d ago

Ah but if Sky Player was to come to PS3 you'd be able to negate the ~£5 for XBL Gold.

outwar60105314d ago

but ps3 is a multi media hub powerhouse you can have tons of movies(i hav 43) all your music(976) 8it just seemed logical for me but oh well

Sky player means a second paid subscription = no tahnkyou. If you want paid stuff goto 360 theres plenty to spend your money on there. If you want Sky in another room get multiroom its cheaper than getting it on 360 and you get more.

Lucreto5314d ago

I seriously don't understand why people would give Rupert Murdoch their money while there is cheaper alternatives out there.

MaximusPrime5314d ago

Ignore 4cough. He is a typical dumb xbox fanboy. He was banned from official ps forums few years ago because of his trolls and dumb comments.

On topic, I don't want sky player because I got sky hd + in the main room. That is enough.

Undeadwolfy5314d ago

w00t! Awesome and about time. M$ have a contract with sky so i cant see sky doing anything on the ps3 till the contract expires. Sony should do something similar with Virgin Media. Talk about your console wars.

Thecraft19895314d ago (Edited 5314d ago )

ITV player uses silver light dose it not so would the ps3 not need update or the browser ?

kharma455314d ago

It may get a dedicated app like LoveFilm.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.

shadowhaxor9h ago

Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.

MaximusPrime_8h ago

Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.

AuraAbjure5h ago

This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha

That and Blur both deserve a sequel, they came out within days of eachother.

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
