Yesterday RT? announced the availability of their video on demand service RT? Player for the PS3. The player is now available to Irish PS3 owners as a separate icon from the PlayStation home screen, under a new ‘TV’ menu item.

The move from RT? to make their content available on the games console comes just one day after similar strategies from ITV and Channel 4 in the UK. The service is similar to that offered by the web version, allowing viewers to watch RT? One and RT? Two shows for up to twenty-one days after their original airing.

Commenting on the deal with RT?, Niall O’Hanrahan, managing director of Sony Ireland stated:

“The availability of RT? Player on the PlayStation 3 adds even more entertainment to the console and gives people yet another reason to enjoy the PS3”.
