PlyTV dated

SCEE president David Reeves has revealed that PlayTV will launch in Europe from September to December, with the first date being September 10th.

Reeves also added that a digital recorder will allow users to record TV whilst playing games.

"Yep, it's going to be 10th September that PlayTV comes out,"

Asked if Sony had overcome technical hurdles and definitely planned to let you record TV at the same time as playing games, he said: "We do, yep."

"It was very difficult for some of the tech guys but we had to include it in the firmware upgrade, 2.41, but it's done now," he said, so in theory if your PS3 is up to date you're all set for the 10th September launch.

Reeves announced at PlayStation Day in May that PlayTV would cost EUR 99 when it launched in September, but was unable to nail down a date.

Sounding good then, hopefully this feature wont be hit by sony's recent "delay plague".
