Play TV, a Television Tuner and video recorder for the PS3 by Sony has been revealed at the Leipzig Games Convention 2007 expo in Germany.
This peripheral will allow you to watch and record all your favorite TV shows onto your Playstation 3 console’s HDD.
A seven-day guide allows you to choose which programs you want to keep on your HDD, and you can even do this remotely using your PSP! That way if you forget to record something and you’ve already left the house, you have no worries! You can even stream files from your PS3 to your PSP to watch it elsewhere.
PlayTV will use the Digital Video Broadcasting standard, and be able to intelligently display the picture in high or standard definition depending on the capabilities of your TV.
“The introduction of PlayTV really will extend the already broad entertainment credentials of PS3, and makes it an exceptionally attractive proposition for the whole family,” said David Reeves, big cheese of Sony Europe.
This will be available in early 2008 across Europe (UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain were mentioned) and a price has yet to be determined.
No word yet on releases outside Europe, but you can bet that it will be coming eventually.
