PS3 to have DVR capabilities in 2008

Warwick Light, who runs marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment in New Zealand, set the beans to spilling in The Press, saying "We're also hoping next year – about the same time that Freeview launches its terrestrial broadcasting service (expected to be in March) – to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder." When can you expect to hear more? Well, we're just guessing, but we've already heard we can expect some fireworks from Sony at Leipzig. Also, Microsoft's been talking about offering this sort of service this fall, so the timing would make sense.

Very curious how this would work, maybe over IP?

As I understand it, it's just going to be an OTA tuner. And it's only going to be released in New Zealand. And it's going to cost $800. So... okay then, Sony.

Interesting idea....we need SOME competition with local cable companies, but this does not seem beneficial....yet.
