Sony posts our music video

Sony picked up the "Shining Chrome Knife" music video and has it posted as a free download to all PSP users worldwide. It is available on their psp.connect.com site - currently on their front page (don't know for how long) and also under "Music Videos & Extras".

Look for this image (above) Mouse over will say "Dead City Sunday: Shining Chrome Knife". Clicking the thumb on the Sony site will download their psp-friendly mp4 encoded version of the video.

Quicktime 7 will play it back without owning a PSP....

Enjoy!
