Ps3. playTv


Playstation 3 just keeps on evolving,improving and broadening it´s featureset and functions, great stuff and one of the best announcements i´ve heard in along,long time.

PlayTv is essentialy a high quality HD dvr, which of course works with sd content aswell, it´s external and it will turn your ps3 into a complete media solution for your home.

Let´s see once playTv is out, your favourite playstation 3 console can.

A: play games
B: play blu-ray movies
C: play sacd music
D: play dvd movies
E: stream movies and music from your computers, hub, server or other devices
F: play mp3 music and movies from the internal ps3 hd or an external usb drive.
G: browse the web
H: cure diseases with folding@home
I: Stream your ps3 music and movies to your psp regardless of where you are
J: - New: record High definition or sd tv shows from your hd tv, or standard definition tv shows from your sd tv, while you watch another channel.
K: - New: stream your tv shows to your psp.
L: - New: record preprogrammed tv shows or record tv shows anytime you wish and you can start the recording even if you´re on the other side of the world, all you need is your psp since it can trigger the recording.

Great stuff for sure and we´ll be picking one up asap it hit´s hometurf in Sweden and we already have built in dvr functionality on our hd tv but this makes it even better and would allow us to actually record two tv shows at the same time + it´s easy to add a bigger hd drive to the ps3, which isnt the case with our lg plasma tv.

And for those of you wishing that the ps3 could do nothing but play games, well this is highly optional, dont buy playTv if you dont want to.

The gui looks as sweet as everything else on the ps3 aswell.

Added a link to a Swedish article about playtv doesnt say to much tho but it doesnt hurt linking it up :)
