Sony fastforwards with DVR technology for Playstation

Sony has unveiled a TV tuner which plugs into the PS3 and turns it into a digital video recorder (DVR). At a press conference at the Leipzig games show in Germany, Sony highlighted the key multimedia apabilities for both the PS3, as well as the popular PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld console. PlayTV for PS3 is a twin TV tuner that will launch in early 2008 in the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, with other countries to follow. Recorded TV programs can be streamed over a wireless internet connection to the portable PSP or transferred permanently to the handheld console via a USB cable. David Reeves, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, said PlayTV would extend the "broad entertainment credentials of PS3". *
