PS3 PlayTV coming to Australia in Q4 2008 (yes, before 2009!)
Gizmodo
There's been a few rumblings recently about the PlayTV's European launch, but at a briefing today in Sydney, Sony announced that Australia will be getting the PlayTV in the fourth quarter this year, for less than $200, although official pricing and release dates are still to be confirmed.
Nice one. Should be October - same month as Little Big Planet.

Really, I bet most people here have inbuilt high definition tuners in their TV and therefor wont find it that useful to buy this PlayTV ...
I can tell you now that I wont be buying it UNTILL a Universal Remote comes out that can do both Infrared and Bluetooth.

Um, Chycophy... do you have any idea what PlayTV is?

Can a TV's digital tuner record one HD program while watching another? How about pause live TV? Fast-forward through adverts?

It depends whether they've got twin-tuners. If so, yes you can watch one and record another... If they've got a HDD recorder then they can pause too...

I don't know about the FF through adverts though... unless you've paused it for enough time to be able to.

PlayTV certainly sounds like a great option if you haven't already got a twin-tuner HD HDD recording system - which I'd say most people don't.
