Turning your next-gen console into a souped up television network can definitely be a glorious thing for the average couch potato. Now there’s even more reason for everyone to celebrate because Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s David Reeves recently announced the arrival of PlayTV in Europe this September.
This digital TV service can basically turn your PlayStation 3 Console into a Freeview receiver and recorder, which can allow you to watch and record free-to-air TV programs. Every program recorded on the PS3 can then be exported to the XMB and stored there with other videos to watch at your leisure. The service will be priced at €99, although no specific date when it will go live was mentioned.
In addition, PlayStation Portable users don’t have to feel left out since the video and movie download service Go!View will also be going live soon. Reeves mentioned that Go!View will be released by the end of June (the 30th to be exact) and will be available in either subscription or pay-per-view packages for PSP owners in the region.
