Eurogamer announced after receiving word from Sony that PlayTV will be released on September 19th for £69.99 (€ 99).

Originally the release was slated for september 10th but now seems to be pushed back for around a week (Ain’t that a surprise).

With PlayTV you’ll be able to record TV while you play games at the same time. There were some technical issue’s with this feature but they managed to solve it. This is a vital and much requested function in modern day DVR/PVR’s.
Some of the code for this feature and more were already implemented in firmware 2.41.


The release will start in the UK, followed by France, Italy, Germany and Spain. The remaining countries in Europe can expect it between September and December. There is still no official list or word of which countries these might be.
Australia and New Zealand can expect it around February 2009, this will give them more time to settle on digital terrestrial standards.
