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."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/ps3psptv_01_small.jpg" /><br /><br />Heck of an add-on for the PS3, and I have to admit I wish there was something similar for the Xbox 360. Looks to complete directly with TiVo and the Slingbox. Unfortunately it will never get off the ground in the US thanks to the debacle that is CableCARD. :roll: My only question is: how much will it cost? Knowing Sony, not cheap. Your thoughts?
