Sony have released VidZone, their online music video application/service for PS3.
This is a free application, downloadable via the Sony online store, giving you access to free access to thousands of music videos.
No word on how often it will be updated, but it should be noted that this is an ad-supported model: expect more of the same in the future as media companies wise up to what consumers are really after.

So the question is, will Boxee be allowed to re-integrate or are Hulu looking to take the media centre space and offer playback of stored media?

Yes, I just made that word up. 'Virality': how many mentions does your brand get on viral media sources?
ViralHeat to the rescue, tracking your individual or company name against dozens of viral video sites (YouTube, DailyMotion, etc) and Twitter.
From there you can see how well you fare across the various media platforms and determine the most popular content that mentions you. Data can be exported for easy integration in reports.
Best of all, it starts at only $10 per month.
