 Some sad news for those folks who want to access the recently opened PSN Video Store from outside the US. Joystiq reports that Sony's PSN Video Store is IP-locked to the United States.What does this mean, exactly? Well, if you have a US account, but don't live in the US (let's say Europe), you still won't be able to access the video store. In any event, this means that folks outside the US will have to wait for their respective areas to open up shop. Let's hope it happens soon. Related Articles: |

» I'm surprised
No one saw this coming. This would not have been able to happen if Sony couldn't find a way to stop people from other countries obtaining films which could potentially be banned there, like Japan has a limit on the number of western films that can be released... or is it China... and Australia trying to ban things left, right and centre)
The movie studios insisted on this, it's the same reason why 7 out of the 9 major Hollywood studios supported Blu-ray over HD DVD.
If it makes you feel any better, M$'s Netflix deal is only available to people in the USA too.
