At the Sony Press Conference at the Leipzig Games Convention, Sony has revealed their plans to release a TV Tuner for the PS3 which will effectively give the system TV recording capabilities. A small tuner box will enable the PS3 to utilize PlayTV, which will allow users to record and watch freeview digital television. Users will also be able to transmit the signals to their PSP using Wi-fi or Remote Connection.
"With the ability to watch, pause and record live TV from a huge range of free channels, PlayTV reinforces PS3's rightful place in the Living Room at the heart of the family's entertainment needs," Sony stated.
No word on pricing or a final release date, although Sony does expect the product and service to be available in early 2008.
