Recordable TV coming to PS3

MCV’s prediction rings true as Sony exec confirms digital tuner feature

Sony Computer Entertainment’s head of marketing for New Zealand has confirmed that the company is looking to launch a digital tuner for the PS3 next year – effectively transforming it into a fully-functioning TV recorder.

Warwick Light told NZ’s The Press newspaper:

"We're hoping next year – about the same time that Freeview launches its terrestrial broadcasting service – to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder."

The news follows MCV’s prediction that Sony would announce video-on-demand and Freeview TV features at the Leipzig Game Convention later this month.

The spec of this machine keeps improving, starting to show its real competitive advantages over the 360.
