    Music videos are crap. Its nice having this stuff just because its free but I doubt you'll be playing these videos in a continues loop. Well, you might if you don't have anything else to do. I can see most people keeping this on their system just to demo it to friends and show off the multimedia capabilities of the ps3.

    Isn't the Rogue Traders that band with Izzy from Neighbours? doesn't matter anyway, it's all mainstream crap

  • iBlackboi

    kobebryantyanic In case u don't know, unlike 360 users who pay 50 bucks/year for xbox live, we playstation3 users don't spend a cent for our psn. And psn just started it's only gonna get better. YA DIIIG. One more thing, i hope sony realizes that black people own ps3s too, can we get some love?? whats up with those artists???

    Church! How bout Sony ya'll look at the billbord charts and throw like the top 30-40 songs on it.

    360 has the same free stuff you find on the internet except 360 owners have to pay.

  • ShinAkuma777

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 11:30 am GMT

    if there were any good songs i'd make an au account

  • Kobugodo

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 11:24 am GMT

    wow... lots of hate for something that's free. Yeah... maybe I don't know these artists. But most of you prolly didn't know White Stripes until their 3rd album... or Nirvana after Kurt died. Because an artist is popular here doesn't mean squat for other countries.

    Stop whining and expand your mind with new experiences. Unless you'd prefer to watch a Britney video on the PSN.

    I hope this new service expands to the North American PSN... in the same vein as what Musicvideos.com is doing... don't let us keep the video... but maybe just let us stream it in HD. I'd imagine that's where Home will come in.

    what crap bands dear o dear lets hope the UK video service offers decent artists.

  • Foolz3h

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 10:55 am GMT

    Stop giving us free music videos and just lower the damn price.

  • Jakshot

    Who the hell are those bands?!LOL

  • HK-47-M4

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 10:24 am GMT

    More will probably come over time, but you would probably be better of buying Singstar.

    W/e, it's free.

  • dragkill

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 8:39 am GMT

    "Haha; Are people seriously complaining about the artists here? People it's free, you really shouldn't complain. If like me you don't like them... just don't waste your bandwidth and move on.


    People really will just complain about anything and everything I guess..."

    There's a thing called the internet......and it's crappy at that. it's like saying "here's some free products from us, that will probably have no use for you".

    You'd think when one bought a console it would be used for GAMING, not another PC. >_>

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 8:37 am GMT

    sweet free advertisements to buy albums! I wish I could get free ads lucky Aussies!!

  • FluffyMuffinMan

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 8:36 am GMT

    Why the hell do you care?, it's freaking free!
    Oh and at least Sony isn't charging for EVERY-FREAKING-THING.
    Yeah, you could get this on the internet, 1080p?, probably not.
    And we DO have demos and games on PSN you morons,
    don't get too excited because you have to pay for everything.

    I wish we had that kind of service state-side... wait a second, we do... and it's called the internet. Come to think of it, so does everyone else. For providing free content for no charge, I am awarding Sony another wagging finger of shame.

    sweet, i only need broadband, a hdtv, and a house in austrailia

  • gamer082009

    This shows exactly why the PSN just can't & wont catch up to Microsoft's Xbox Live. They should maybe add some game demos besides crappy musicians no one cares for...my god Sony we wan't GAMESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! PSN is like the ghetto version of Xbox Live! Xbox Live just can't be beat...period.!

  • Thornscar

    Posted Jul 20, 2007 6:06 am GMT

    This is just a waste of time. I've never even heard of any of them. Let's stick with gaming.
