Sony has unveiled a joint project between PlayStation and Sky which will see the launch of the first official PSP video download service in Europe.

It designed to allow PSP owners access to a wealth of video content including TV shows, films and sports on the go.

Presumably because of the PSP's pretty weak Wi-Fi connection, a PC is still a necessary part of the equation, so content will be downloaded first to PC, but will organised into a sensible PSP-friendly format.

And now the catch: it's going to cost you, of course. We don't know how much yet, but you'll have the choice of pay-per-view or subscription options.

The service will be launching this summer. Precise dates, and any details we get on what content is available we'll let you know as soon as we hear. Meanwhile you can register you interest here.
