Playstation 3 will receive a TV tuner

Responsible for the project Playstation 3 people who had time to effectively hit people in the mud during the period of unsuccessful sales of the console, struggling to rehabilitate themselves and regularly announce significant updates to the console. In particular, the PS3 has already received an 80-gigabyte hard drive, slightly lost in price and even promises to return the vibration function to the gamepads soon. Soon one more item will be added to this list - the presence of a digital TV tuner. Apparently - external.

According to Warwick Light, sales manager at Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand, the console will be modified to suit the changing needs of users. “We hope to release a digital TV tuner specifically for the PS3 next year, which will turn the console into a programmable TV recorder,” Light said. The release of the device, apparently, will be timed to the March launch in New Zealand of a new television service, but this does not mean that the tuner will not be available in other countries. However, in the case of Russia, this statement is still debatable.
