Sony,why tell me something if I doesnt pertain to my region? Is it just to torture me?


The cable/satellite companies use private encryption on their programming. So to record from these sources, you have to go through these companies and they want money for it. This is why they sell their own boxes, because then they can keep 100% of the money.

Yes, but they are required by law to provide cable cards at very low cost (TIVO uses these).  This could easily be incorporated into a PS3 (or 360) add on unit.

You mean cable card which the FCC admitted was a failure?

Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
