Looks good, Sucks about this but!

How big is each episode?

On average, about 1GB. (when released weekly it will chew a bit)

and den there is this

How much does it cost?

Each episode costs 99p, or you can save 30% by subscribing for £8.99 for 90 days.

Is it just for UK users?

Initially, yes. But there are plans to roll out to all PAL regions as soon as possible.

Well we're still waiting on Qcore (or whatever it's called) and movie downloads/rentals, we're still waiting on the GPS accessory for the PSP (PlayStation Portable), the Australian versions of the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home are PATHETIC compared to the North American equivalent, so yeah, I'm pretty sure we won't see this anytime soon and if we DO, it's almost-certainly going to be unimpressive...

Yes, we have VidZone and PlayTV, two FANTASTIC programs that many other regions do not have, but there's an awful lot of "key" functionality that we as Australians are missing out on!

Yeah, the Pommy accent and focus alone would be enough to convince me to NOT subscribe to this!

We already get enough rubbish from Europe in PlayStation Home...

will still remain hey? just like how otherOS did too

yeh I dont know if I'll download these. Quota just kills it for me.

Unless something can be worked on for australia isp - eg unmetered content on some ISPs with ABC's Iview then I would reconsider.

I guess it also comes down to whether australia even gets the content as well.
