Er, you know that September 10th, €99 (about £78) PlayTV launch announced by David Reeves? Well, turns out that the Sony Europe president jumped the gun or the product’s been dragged through a trough of delay. Whatever the case, Sony Europe told Eurogamer that the PS3 TV tuner / DVR add-on will launch on the 19th of September now and cost a bit less at just 70 Quid. It’s also said to be HD ready should local DVB-T broadcasters decide to throw that switch.
Sony has moved back the PlayTV tuner for its PS3 from the end of last month all the way to September 10th, and this time round it will even be able to support recording TV shows in the midst of gaming. The device will also support dual DVB-T tuners and has the capability to capture one over-the-air digital channel while playing another live. Folks living in the UK and mainland Europe will be able to pick this puppy up for approximately 99 Euros, while an Australia and New Zealand is slated for a February 2009 release.
