Sony Unveils PS3's With DVR and Video Chat

PlayStation 3 (PS3) users in Europe will soon be able to record and playback digital TV on their console. Sony has unveiled a TV tuner which plugs into the PS3 and turns it into a personal video recorder like Sky+. 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 programmes can be streamed over a wireless internet connection to the portable PSP or transferred permanently to the handheld console via a USB cable. Sony also gave more details of a video chat and instant messaging system for the PSP, called Go!Messenger, developed in conjunction with BT in the UK. PSP users in Europe will be able to send messages, and video chat with each other once the software behind the tool is released in January.
