Overview:
Officially announced August 22, 2007; PlayTV is a twin-channel DVB-T tuner peripheral with digital video recorder (DVR) software which allows users to record television programs to the PlayStation 3 hard drive for later viewing. Wi-Fi connectivity with a PSP allows for portable viewing of live or recorded television programming. Recorded programs can be transcoded and transferred via USB to the PSP for viewing programs on the go. The software features a 7-day electronic program guide for utilizing the DVR features. PlayTV is officially set to release in Spring 2008; with SCE New Zealand's head of marketing Warwick Light stating that the product is hoped to be released around the same time as the region's terrestrial Freeview digital broadcast service launches (currently expected in March 2008). UK retailer 'Play.com' listed the PlayTV on their website, with a March 28, 2008 release date, at an estimated £99 price. NOTE This information has since been removed from 'Play.com'. The site now neither states a price or release date for PlayTV.
