Sony clarifies PlayTV date, price
Bit later, bit cheaper than expected.
Sony has told Eurogamer that PlayTV will be released on 19th September and cost GBP 69.99.
David Reeves had prepared us for a 10th September launch and a European price of EUR 99 (GBP 78). Which means Sony must, like Tesco, know we're feeling the pinch at the moment.
PlayTV is digital video recorder for PS3 that can record TV while you play games or watch other programs. There is no copy protection on content, which is saved in a standard format, and your PSP can control the box remotely like something out of The Jetsons.
Head over to our preview of PlayTV to find out more, and beware that our main concern in that piece - that Sony couldn't confirm recording at the same time as playing games - has now been clarified: you can.
