Rumors have been flying around the internet about a DVR add-on for the PS3. I had doubts whether we would actually see such a product anytime soon. Apparently the rumors are true, at least for European PS3 owners. From Sony’s press release:
At Games Convention today, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced the introduction of PlayTV, a combined TV tuner and Personal Video Recorder (PVR) for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™). PlayTV will be available in UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain early in 2008, with other PAL territories to follow in due course.
PlayTV, which will let you watch and record live TV, will be also compatible with the PSP so you will be able to take your TV shows with you. With all good things, there is a catch: PlayTV will not be able to record HD content from cable and satellites. Sony also made no mention of price.
I wonder how long until there is a DVR add-on for the Xbox 360.
