Sony announces date for PS3 Freeview
Sony has announced that its much-hyped Freeview PVR PS3 device will be released in the UK on September 10.

PlayTV will turn the PlayStation 3 console into a fully-functional digital TV device, allowing users to watch Freeview TV and to record it onto the machine's hard drive.

Sony also confirmed it has now added the ability to record TV while playing games, a function that was previously missing from the service.

Online retailer Amazon claims the new device will retail for £59.99, but Sony has yet to announce an official price.
