More news fresh from Sony's conference, with word on the company's new joint-venture with British Sky Broadcasting, which will offer users the opportunity to watch live TV on the go, on-demand.

Dubbed Go!, the new service is set to commence in early 2008, and is the first service of its kind in Europe. Sky content offered spans sports, entertainment, movies, and animation, with promising a comprehensive mix of programs.

Movies and sporting events, usually only offered to Sky subscribers, will even be offered on a pay-per-view basis, and users will be able to download TV content directly to their PSP, or to their PC.

Sky are promising to help build an interface making the new content readily accessible.

"Both truly mobile and with a best in class high-quality screen, PSP delivers a great on-the-move video experience. Working with such a well known content brand, we will be able to offer PSP owners access to the best in cross-genre Sky content, available through the first official video download service. This really will make PSP the standout all-in-one portable gaming, video and music device", David Reeves chimed.

James Murdoch, boss of BSkyB, added: "Sky and Sony Computer Entertainment have complementary strengths in content, marketing and technology. Together, we’re ideally placed to make portable, on-demand TV a reality. Alongside our existing services for PCs and mobile phones, this is another example of how we’re working to give more choice, flexibility and control to customers. The quality of the PSP's screen and its substantial reach among 2 million users makes it a natural extension to our multi-platform strategy."
