In case the PS3 just doesn't have enough digital media functions for you, have no fear, Sony is releasing the add-on for you. With it's built-in, Blu-ray, DVD, CD, SA-CD, mp3 audio, mp4 video, and media server playback functions, the PS3 is already a rather astounding all-in-one home entertainment hub. Starting next Spring, however, European PS3 owners will be able to remove yet another component from their system racks as Sony will be releasing the "PlayTV" DVB-T TV tuner and DVR add-on.
Specs for the European version of "PlayTV:"
- Dual Digital Video Broadcasting = Terrestrial (Freeview) high definition tuners
- 7-day Electronic Program Guide
- Full DVR functionality, recording content to the PS3 hard drive
- Able to stream live and recorded TV to a PSP system via Wifi
- Will be updated with new features through the Playstation Network
- No monthly charge
Pricing and exact release date have not yet been announced. Also, a version for U.S. consumers has not been announced, and would likely be more complex as most U.S. consumers subscribe to either cable or satellite service.
