Official PlayStation app not available in NZ

FYI, this story is more than a year old

Sony has done the awesome and finally released an official PlayStation app for iPhone and Android smartphones.

The only problem is that it's not yet available in New Zealand.

While currently being a little light on features, the app does allow you to keep up to date with your trophies, friends’ games and online status. You can also read the latest updates from the PlayStation blog.

It looks like the app has been created by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, which may explain its lack of attendance in the New Zealand iTunes store. But New Zealand has PlayStation 3s and it has iPhones and Androids. So what's the hold up?

Let’s just hope that it doesn’t take Sony as long to launch the app here as it did to launch Play TV.

We’ve dropped Sony a line for more information.

Update: Sony's got back and told us that the app will be released in New Zealand at some point, it's just not too sure when. We'll let you know when it goes live.
