Oh sna.....XMB.
Not even for the bikini babe/s in the shower.
Plus there's no Tory MP to vote to torture in the Bushtucker trials this time around.

No Crunchyroll or YouTube?
At least there's Netflix and Viaplay, and:
That's good. Not requiring PS+ for Viaplay like on the PS3.

I don't believe Netflix is supported for remote play (doesn't work on the US Netflix iirc)
Excellent! Wish we could have BBC iPlayer in Ireland, I'd gladly pay that TV license than the RTE one
iPlayer doesn't even require a license fee, as long as you don't watch shows until after they've aired.

As long as I can still get US Netflix on a UK Ps4 i'm happy. (saying that it's not like my PS3 is going anywhere anytime soon)

At least Ntetflix and iPlayer are there. Just give me Youtube and 4OD and I'm done. They have just replied to a post on the blog saying another 20+ apps will be available between now and Spring 2014 so we'll see what happens

Nothing for Russia, as usual...

A VPN service or IP-masker will be your friend in this regard.
ALL of my Aussie/Kiwi mates who moved back home and Brit expats use one to get iPlayer.
Yea,isn't it ridiculous that Portugal hasn't got a single video service yet? (Netflix, Lovefilm...).Portugal -only Vidzone
But this reply on the EU blog got me curious...
What could it be?...Hi! We will have some news about Portugal soon Cant say just yet though. Watch this space
You can, using the browser. But no app yet indeed.
Thx for info, i wonder though how buggy the browser is.. , and how well it handles video stream pages like Twitch

Given how the press-releases of the Sony-owned Animax service is claiming their forthcoming Playstation apps will be the only dedicated anime streaming service on the Playstation platform, at least for the UK, I'm thinking there's political shenanigans going on preventing Crunchy from launching in Europe.
Video Unlimited not available for any Scandinavian country
That service will never be available here... So much for nothing Sony, you announced it back in 2008 and it still isn't out in all of Europe.
Viaplay > Video Unlimited.

Dinner date!
Hmm, I wonder if my PS4 will have any trouble with my PSN account. Back when I bought my PS3 and created my PSN account, I still lived with my parents in Holland. I have since moved to Belgium (just 50km southwards btw) but Sony won't let me change my country of residence. Not sure how Sony will handle their country-specific services this time around.
I watched a few hours of the Redbull Battlegrounds on Twitch through the PS4 browser. Worked just fine, able to log into the site and full screen (quality was only source, seemed to be 720p but bitrate was only decent) without any issue. The PS4 web browser takes a bit of getting used to though, not sure I like its layout as much as the PS3 yet but it unsurprisingly performs a lot better.

They'll probably introduce Music Unlimited to Portugal soon.
Pleasantly surprised with the apps the UK get. Plus the 20+ coming between now and spring. If Sony deliver on this it makes me confident for the future of apps on the PS4.
Got the essentials I need on the 29th though, although Twitch, Youtube, ITV Player, 4OD, Sky Go, Spotify and Crunchy roll would be the icing on the cake!
Sad to hear about some other countries though regarding lack of apps.

Right. Seeing how Video Unlimited is yet to be launched here I got no hope of Animax.

No it wouldn't, at least not outside the uk via bbc worldwide.
They are planning a global online store after scrapping a global iplayer project.

You can use the browser for youtube. It should work fine if you enable HTML5.
Isn't this like telling UK gamers to pirate games just because they aren't out here yet? The BBC is not a free service

Have we seen the PS4 iPlayer yet by any chance? Just wondering if it's the same as on PS3 or redone.
Really love the one on PS3 personally.
I got them well confused alright. Dunno how I managed it since Frost hasn't been on for ages... bit of an illogical moment for me there

Yeah, that's ridiculous. I want to try Music Unlimited, but apparently Sony doesn't want my money.
Ha! Finland fares slightly better because we are spared from the horrors of IGN.
Poland...nothing, so don't worry.
Nothing, what a shame..
Some apps but not others.
