In light of the recent MS price cuts, Sony announces tv add on to the PS3..

Sony hits back in console wars - tech & gadgets

whether this will work remains to be seen, but like any of these press releases, they always forget to mention that other providers, will want a slice of the action... (wifi aint free)

You only need the wifi if you are streaming to your psp though ?

As a side issue anyone fancy a PS3 + Motorstorm going cheap in the London area? Don't want to take it when I leave these shores

Will the tv shows come with Sony's rootkit installed


I suspect by 2008 most people will have a tv with built in freeview, or a freeview box, or sky/cable so why is this such an innovation. Too little to late as usual

 

Because you'll be able to record 2 channels while watching a third if your tv has a builtin freeview.
It makes the PS3 into a PVR for the cost of freeview add on (what £30?)

Lol, Is there actually 3 things worth watching in a week let alone at the same time

 

Probably not

But you will be able to connect to it via your psp and set it recording remotely...a bit geeky but nice or just watch it on your psp...

Cheers

isn't the 360 going to have PVR functions via BT in the UK ? like the BT fusion box ?

 

Of course it's only of any use if you can actually get a freeview signal. We can't, hence why we've got a sky+ box. With the number of other devices offering this sort of functionality increasing by the day, (dvd recorders, bt fusion etc) it doesn't seem that exciting to me. A nice to have if you already have the console though...

 

Least it'll mean there will be a use for the PS3 whilst waiting for them to release some games for it
