Play TV - 10/10

I gave Play TV a 10/10 for two reasons it’s so easy to set up and the item dose what it says on the box.
Plug your aero in the Playstation TV tuner and a way you go. It’s so simple. You can also play games while you record programs, bearing in mind you couldn't do this before. If you want to watch one program and record another program at the same time you can with a touch of a button, or record a whole series, if the program comes on weekly Play TV while record automatically when set.

Knock on door, just pause or rewind the program back to where you finished. The handy little thing dose not take up much space. The original price of Play TV was set at £100 before release date but Sony knocked back the price to £59.99, which makes it affordable for the credit crunch. So sit back and relax, you will never miss your favorite shows again while playing with your friends online. 10/10 recommended.

Future plans- Playstation Home provides a TV in your personal space and if you have recorded TV on your PS3 hard drive you can sit back with your friends on Playstation Home and watch your shows.

Melbourne, Victoria - No, I don't have an XBOX 360, Wii, or any other console, so every game is a PS3 exclusive as far as I'm concerned.

Love the idea but the 60 pound price tag is a bit much (~180 aud), not really worth it if you haven't upgraded the hard drive yet. If you have so worth it
