Playstation 3 PVR
Why don’t they ever release new technology in America first!? At the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Press Office they announced that PlayTV will be available for PS3 (just not in the states). PlayTV is a combination: TV tuner/Personal Video Recorder. In early 2008, it will be released in the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain (with other PAL territories to follow).
What does PlayTV do? Here’s excerpts from the official press release:
“Designed to reinforce PS3’s rightful place in the Living Room at the heart of the home entertainment needs, the twin channel TV tuner peripheral and PVR software turns PS3 into a state of the art TV recorder, allowing users to watch, pause and record live TV. PlayTV will also record individual programmes or whole series1 to the PS3 hard drive for viewing later on the family TV, or for transferring to the PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) for remote viewing outside of the home.”
“PlayTV’s two TV tuners are High Definition ready and are able to view, record and play back High Definition signals in full HD1080P to fully complement PS3’s already impressive High Definition credentials.”
Sounds like a winner to me. Now, try shipping it to the USA.
