I have been holding off on a next gen gaming console, but man are those guys over at SONY making me want a PlayStation 3 more and more. First they come with a Blue-Ray DVD player built in (my choose for the winner of the HD-DVD vs Blue-Ray battle) and now a DVR and Tuner. What next? Blender and toaster?

The info is flying fast today as Sony's launches a multi-tiered attack on the entertainment community. Luckily, we've got some additional info on the just announced
PlayTV TV tuner / DVR for the PS3, and we'd like to share it. The unit
will apparently be coming to Europe "early in 2008" with other
territories to follow (PAL only for now). The new box will feature two
1080p tuners, which utilize the European Digital Video Broadcasting
system (DVB-T) -- which should dash any US hopes for the time being.
The system will allow you to store recorded broadcasts on your PS3
drive, and also transcode and transfer the saved files to your PSP.
Additionally, you'll be able to use the PSP's "Remote Play" feature to
program and watch your PlayTV away from home. Sony reps also
make the bold pronouncement that the PlayTV architecture will "never be
out of date" due to automatic network updates from the company. We're
gutted that the US gets no love from Sony on this one, but it's a good
time to be a European PlayStation 3 fan, that's for sure.
