Sony PlayStation and Sky have just announced a joint service called Go!View that will allow PSP owners to download TV from this summer.

This is the latest in the Go! Series of services for the increasingly flexible PSP, which recently got Go!Messenger phone, video messaging and IM services through BT. Go!View will be the first official PSP video download service in Europe.

Go!View will let PSP owners create their own TV schedule from Sky’s line-up of entertainment, sport and movies. Downloading the content, after registering for the subscription service or as pay-as-you-go customer, is done via a PC or laptop.

“Go!View allows PSP™ users to take advantage of a unique service, adding another dimension to PSP™’s offering” said Owen Jenkinson, Go!View Marketing Manager. “The opportunity to watch top TV and movies on-the-go and on-demand will allow PSP ™ owners to enjoy their favourite entertainment on their own terms, enhancing the PSP’s offering as a portable gaming console.”

The partners haven’t revealed just when it will launch this summer or how much it’s going to cost.-Martin Lynch
