Now you can keep up with all of your favorite TV shows including Misfits, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, Coronation Street, X-Factor and of course, one of our personal favorite… Jeremy Kyle! You will never miss an episode of the best soaps again. You can read more about the additions over at Sony PlayStation’s official site here.

The media players store online up to 30 days worth of programs that you can view any time which is great news for all of you that lead such busy social lives. There is no firmware update to load it into the interface, all we did for mine was turn on a PlayStation 3, connect to the PSN and then checked on the TV icon on the XMB and low and behold there they were. We are wondering what will join the PSN next?

Will you be taking advantage of the new players? Have you had any problems getting them? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Gone are the days when you could miss a television program and not get to see it. I know that if we forget to record Eastenders for example, the wife will be loading up the iPlayer to catch up.

According to VG247 it looks like the other popular web streaming platforms in the ITV player and 4oD have seen sense and joined the BBC iPlayer with Sony. This is good news for me as if we ever miss anything on ITV we end up watching it on the laptop or having the hassle of connecting the laptop to the TV.

To be honest I am surprised that they aren’t on multiple platforms that include the PS3 already, Coronation Street may have increased their traffic if this was done sooner with their crazy week on the popular soap just finishing, this even included a live episode.

The Guardian also report that by Sony’s estimations, there are around 4 million PlayStation 3 consoles in the UK with around 80% of them being connected to the PSN. Alan Duncan who holds the position of marketing director for PlayStation UK thinks that 4oD could expect around a 10% increase in traffic.

Interesting stuff, expect to see a few adverts for this soon on the likes of the ITV player website as well as the 4oD and I would have thought on PlayStation blogs around the net. If you aren’t a PlayStation owner but want to catch up with ITV and 4oD the click here and here to be directed to their players.

What do you think of this decision? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
