Forums - Sony - Sony Readying High Capacity PS3 DVR Bundle

M.U.G.E.N on 05 October 2010

Sony announced today a value priced package for prospective PlayStation 3 buyers who'd like to make use of the system's digital video recording capabilities.

On November 18, Sony will release the PlayStation 3 HDD Recorder Pack 320GB unit. This limited edition package combines a Charcoal Black 320 gigabyte PlayStation 3 system with Sony's popular Torne digital video recording device.

The bundle will sell for ¥39,980. Separately, the Charcoal Black 320GB system currently sells for ¥34,980 (a Classic White version, announced at the Tokyo Game Show, is due on October 21), while Torne sells on its own for ¥9,980 (although it's widely available for a couple of thousand yen less).

In a separate announcement, Sony also said today that it will be releasing a 2.8m USB cable (Mini-B-A type). This is priced ¥500 and will be released on December 16. The cable that's included with the PS3 is 1.5 meters. The longer cable can be used in a similar capacity as that, for charging your controller and connecting to a PSP.

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.



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.

No.  Torne is a DVR, which allows you to record programs off of the TV.  I'm guessing it won't come state-side because of legal reasons, which is a damn shame.  Though, I do wish we at least had Play TV like you do in EU.  Doesn't seem like there would be too much of a legal hurdle.  I mean it only plays Sony owned content, right?

Nope, PlayTV is a DVR for all free-to-air digital channels.
