As many might already know, I've been wanting to get music videos in HD since I first logged into a PSN store, I thought to myself that this could be a great way for Sony to promote their vast music library. Well months went by and not once was a music video ever made available on the PSN.
That was until just last month when I saw what I thought was the first music video made available on any PSN store, and that was Elanne Kong's "You are Leaving", which also came with an additional "Making of" video.
Now as it turns out, our Aussie PSN friends have been holding out on us!!!
Just yesterday I saw this post by Evolution-One in the Gran Turismo PS3 Theme thread:
Now normally, the Australian PSN Store has the exact same content as Europe, India, Middle East, New Zealand, and South Pacific, so I stopped checking the Aussie Store a long time ago. However after reading that post I immediately checked it and sure enough, under the Videos menu there was a folder for "Music Videos", and in it were 30 music videos form various artists, all available in 1080p, 720p, and 480p. 👍
After seeing that I did a search, and found the following article on Sony's official Australian PlayStation site:
Music Videos
(click on link to see album covers and more info)
Now most of the ones they listed are available for download:
Some however, are missing, or have not yet been made available:
I also went ahead and posted the entire list of music videos in the Official Playstation Store Thread among the 07/11/15 Update post.
As you can see, the first music videos were made available way back on July 19, 2007 and the latest set was made available on October 25th. What concerns me is that it's been nearly a month and no new videos have been added, so maybe the "trial period" has ended?

If anybody is wondering why I have an Australian account it's because Sony are testing their music download service there so you can download some music videos free of charge!

I quite agree... I have been wanting to get HD music videos for a long time now, and I hope this is a sign that we may see more of it and among all regions! 👍Now I must get an Australian account, if just to DL them all and make this seem like a popular idea.
