Music app that launched on PS3 and was also available on PS4 up until about a week ago.

Never heard of it so clearly it never existed, so clearly Sony could not have shut it down.

Now you guys are making me think... did it ever exist or was it all in my head.

Just found the Vidzone app on the PS Store under the apps section. It's an older app so you'll have to get a little ways down. Still there.

When I fire up the app it says it no longer exists and to check out the store for other exciting apps.

Odd, because according to their Twitter they updated recently. Try deleting the app and reinstalling. They were telling a lot of people to do that over the last few years from what I've seen. It may be that the app does not update normally and must be reinstalled. If that doesn't work, I got nothing.

Strange! The way the error message read sounded like they stopped the service. I'll reinstall.

So I've checked and they have definitely removed the app, you can't even download it from the store. What's strange is that when I use my US account, I'm from the UK, I can still use it and it's still there in the store to download. So it's been removed from the UK but still up and running in the US.

That's.... strange.

Just read update history and the 1.04 patch was an 'end of life patch'.
But the US Vidzone runs fine on my UK account so it's all good.

It was very popular at one point. Perhaps the netflix deal has something to do with it.
