As for the video download service recently announced for the US, Reeves admitted that it would not be heading to Europe and Australia in 2008.
"This will not come to the PAL markets this year, but Sir Howard Stringer has made the commitment that non-games will come to all regions in due course and it will. The dates for video content will come later this year. For us, and I think you appreciate most of you European, that local content is important, and that's what [we are] working on right now," Reeves said.
