My guess is that we'll get this once all TV's switch over to digital in 2009. Otherwise, we'll just have to wait for Sony to catch up with XBLM and start offering downloadable movies and TV shows.

Why wait, most have converted already. They just broadcast both. I hope you can plug in other devices like sat boxes. I dont use an off-air antenna and dont know many people that do. Maybe I'll put one up if not. This gives the PS3 yet another advantage over the competition.

Any announcement of this coming to the US?

Nice!

in asia a lot of people are still using aerial antennae, this is great for them

oh my god, europe gets something before the rest of the world?????well its about time!!! lol this looks ace i cant wait to get it - im regretting trading in my psp now for sure!!  more kudos for the ps3 over the xbox360 woop

sound nice, but how about being able to download the stored recorded program of the ps3 to your pro duo card, for the psp. this would be great, record movies, then store to psp, no need for wifi signal.

Technically if you have a location free player you can do this already with a Tivo and a cable box. My coworker today was showing me how he was able to watch cable at work on his PSP as well as any shows that were on his DVR right there on the spot.

I mean granted this cuts out a bunch of machines but assuming you have the main ones a DRV a Cable box and the Location Free player you can already do what Play TV is offering without a PS3.

So in order to watch tv now, I have to turn on my ps3. what a waste of energy.

But I actually might pick this up. aha.

But no announcement on when the US gets it....but hey Europe got something ahead of everyone else for once

psn id: gingo.... i would definitely like this but i'm not willing to pay 100 quid for this

sweet, i love remote play so this would be a nice addition. Hope it comes to US soon.

I really wish sony would have put a usb plug in the back of the ps3

to me seeing a wire plugged into the front all the time might be annoying

but im a neat freak lol

OMG How super cool is this. Makes me want to get a PSP now as well!!! And at last a simple and effective straight forward advert, not like the stupid & bizarre surreal ones.

Yeah I think 1st poster has a point, perhaps late in 2009-early 2010 for this feature because this is relatively a big thing. A new form of tivo I guess.

what cant the ps3 dooo..... it cann doooooo soooooo mmuch that why not buy one??? i mean theres no subsription??? y do ppl call it gay... and dumb... it can do every thing... whats so bad about having better grafs and better features... THIS IS AMAZING!!

This does add so much more to the PS3/PSP combo.

The only draw back to any of this is that it connects via USB & this will be a nuisance to quite a few people or at the very least unsightly.

I never really cared about the USB ports being at the front, but I think this device will make that difference a little bit of an inconvenience.

GoCam and PlayTV wow Sony i want them now.

Sounds awesome...  March 28th couldnt come soon enough.

i am in Australia, its nice,but i allready have Foxtel with Foxtel IQ i can do almost all that,but not the PSP think.So when this  coming to australia and when it comes wil it work with Foxtel?

i'm going to need a bigger hard drive! ...if it comes to the US

My HDD space gets sucked up with demos fast enough as is.  Luckily (for me) the US won't be getting it soon.  Not that streaming media to the PSP is fast enough anyway to not lag. 

I SERIOUSLY dont understand why both Sony and Microsoft are venturing into such projects. It's simply a freeview box thats plugged in through your PS3 at the end of the day :/ You can buy freeview boxes that record and playback anyway.

I pay for Sky+ so I'm certainly not interested in this at all.

They're clearly not sure about the £99.99 price point, which is DAMN right. £99.99 for a slightly glorified freeview box that can play HD "freeview" channels (are there any?)

Im living in Japan and im hoping the service is availble here too!!! Anyone know?

hope it's possible to use the UK playTV device in other locations in EU

i will buy it on its release date >>>> so cool

Niiiicee...

This is a great feature and I will definitely get it when it comes to the U.S., at least Sony is smarter than Microsoft in the fact they don't appeal to only hard-core FPS gamers.

So, when does it appear here in America? It says all about foreign contries but what about us???

kinda cool

MMMMMM Sci-FI Channel on the PSP.......... Forbidden Donuts (Drool). hope it comes to America

Awesome.  Can't wait!

All well and good, and yes it is very tempting, but can I plug my SKY box into it? Where I live doesn't get Freeview so at the moment the only way I can watch digital TV is by being a SKY customer, and Freeview doesn't get some of the channels (actually, quite a lot of the channels!) that show the TV shows that I want to watch - like Lost, Prison Break, Heroes (ok so I could wait until BBC2 show it but why would I want to wait when I can watch it on Sci-Fi?) etc etc. Otherwise, it is pretty damn cool. ;)

only thing is guys hardly no one will b able to use this coz u need the device connected to the tv aerial and then from the box to the ps3 using usb how can we do tht if our consoles R in diffrent rooms coz iknow my aerial is in the living room plugged into my living room tv with sky so i cnt even get this nw this is ahuge problem unless usb its wireless to the ps3
