Access all areas with Future and Sony PlayStation

Future, the special-interest media group, and Sony Computer Entertainment have revealed Access, a new weekly HD video guide to the best of PlayStation in the UK.

Available to download every Wednesday from the UK PlayStation Store on the PlayStation Network, Access is completely free for all UK PSN account holders to watch on their PlayStation 3 consoles.

Hosted by comedian Lucy Porter, Access offers unrivalled access to the world of PlayStation – getting up close and personal with the best games, the biggest industry events and SCE UK’s Access community. The focal point of the Access community is the Facebook page, which offers gamers exclusive game and entertainment related activities.

Episode one of Access, available now, tackles blockbuster games including the smash-hit shooter Resistance 3, as well as taking an exclusive look at footballing behemoth FIFA 12. It also reports direct from SCE UK’s Access tour – events across the UK offering upfront plays on unreleased games, live music and much more.

Each 10-minute episode is packed with up-to-the-minute HD previews, interviews, features and more, offering expert guidance to the huge array of multimedia services available on PlayStation 3 – from Blu-ray movie releases to the best downloadable PSN games.

Following its premiere on the UK PlayStation Store every week, selected content from each show will be available to watch across Future’s acclaimed portfolio of videogames websites, including www.computerandvideogames.com and www.gamesradar.com.

Simon Maxwell, Future’s Group Publisher, Entertainment, says: “We’re hugely proud of the market-leading video content we’re producing and this is the perfect showcase for it. Access reaches PlayStation 3 owners directly at their consoles, offering a completely unique experience, and further bolsters Future’s reputation for multi-platform innovation.” 

Alan Duncan, SCE UK’s Marketing Director, says: “The show is a key part of our Access project delivering high quality original content covering everything that’s happening on PlayStation in the UK. It also gives our partners a new opportunity to reach key PlayStation gamers.”

Access continues the long-running and successful partnership between SCE UK and Future, which began in 1995. Access can be downloaded from the UK PlayStation Store for free now.
