Play TV is the way to receive, record and programme digital terrestrial television through your PlayStation 3. Simply plug your TV aerial into the Play TV TV-tuner, and connect to your PS3 via the USB cable provided. Instantly you will be able to receive more TV and radio channels than before, and will have total control of your TV viewing.

You can check our older post which shows the PlayTV demonstration.

Check play.com for ordering information.

Unfortunately there are no plans for North America as of yet.

I wish I can use my PS3/PSP the same way in US as well

Its only over the air programming/network television. For me and most people in the US it is useless. Its a good idea but someone needs to hack it to have it work on cable programming.

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

useless piece of kit. there are freeview boxes that cost £30 in the uk. why would somebody buy it for their ps3 at £99? sure it can record and all that shit, but at the expense of your ps3 being on aswell? i dont want to switch on my games console in order to watch t.v lol. talk about wasting energy.
