News: VidZone launches their streaming music video service on PS3 allowing you to compile personalized video playlists and more.

Sony revealed earlier today that VidZone, a streaming music video service on PS3, is available in the U.S. on PSN. Gamers can access VidZone on their PS3 system for free by installing the VidZone app directly from the TV/Video Services category on the XMB. The VidZone app can also be found on the PlayStation Store under the Media & Apps category. Supported by major industry labels and more than 7,500 independent labels, the ad-supported VidZone app offers PlayStation music fans a wealth of music videos from the biggest artists including Justin Timberlake, Pink, Chris Brown, David Guetta and more. Some of the key features include:

Browse a huge catalogue of music videos and compile personalized video playlists. There’s no limit to how many playlists can be created, such as a workout mix or a brand’s greatest hits.

Watch VidZone TV channels based on personal music taste, including ‘Hip Hop TV,’ ‘80’s Party TV,’ ‘Rock Legends TV’ and more.

Choose from a huge selection of genre based ‘Zones,’ including ‘Hip Hop Zone,’ ‘Pop Zone’ and ‘Rock Zone’ to find music for every mood or preference. Users can also store their favorite music videos in their very own personal library, ‘My Zone.’

Instantly generate artist related playlists with V:Mix. For example, select the artist Justin Timberlake and V:Mix will create a playlist based on JT. Users can press Play to view the entire V:Mix or select a specific Justin Timberlake music video from the list.
