Sony shoots down UK PlayTV date and price

Posted on February 26th, 2008 at 12:04 EDT

Sony has responded to a listing on HMV’s website pertaining to the UK release of its forthcoming PlayTV service, insisting that the company has yet to issue launch details to retailers.

The listing in question put the TV accessory for release on March 28, priced at GBP 99.99/EUR 130.

However, speaking to Eurogamer today, a Sony spokesperson stated, “We have not confirmed the price and release date of PlayTV to anyone, and that includes retailers.”

PlayTV allows users to record television broadcasts by utilizing the PlayStation 3’s hard drive. The device is scheduled for release in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, and will not be restricted by copy protection.

Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Well I think £100 is a fine price for an item like this. I think your compareing this to you average freeview recorder which are crap.

This on the other Hand looks like a very high Quality product.

I would be willing to pay at least $150-$200 for the PlayTV . I've always wanted to be able to record television shows and I don't have a TiVo. Plus, with the TiVo, you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee just to use it. PlayTV is almost a dream come true.

They want to keep it affordable because not everyone will dish out any high amount off the bat, unless your ballen.
