Forums - Sony - Sony Readying High Capacity PS3 DVR Bundle

TIVO didn't do it because you still have to pay a monthly fee.  Your choice is to lay out $400-$800 dollars for TIVO and pay $12 a month or pay no initial cost and only around $15 a month to the cable company.  It's a no brainer for most people.

If a solution came out at $200 or less with no monthly fee, you'd see some real competition for the cable companies.  It may not be cost effective right now, but it could be in the near future.

If it doesn't happen after nearly 15 years, I don't see it happening any time soon.



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.

well here in AUS you have Free to air or Cable(pay tv), we have the play TV and you can record any Free To Air Show and it works great, but it rips though space like crazy. Never knew Play Tv isn't available in the US. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Is this really news? I guess if you consider getting it slightly cheaper. When the torne was first released earlier this year they had it available as a bundle with the 250gb slim PS3(for 42,900 yen, I think). I believe at the moment they have it bundled with the 160gb PS3. (for 36,900 yen)

So it's pretty much you pay 3,000 yen and you get double the hdd space. Though considering regular hdd's are really cheap, it's probably better to get an external drive/replace the PS3 hdd yourself.
