Never be out of date?? Really, so this means that Sony will not be releasing a Playstation 4 then because then it should never be out of date either right?
So basically you get about 5-8 hours of TV even on the highest end console. Wouldn't you rather just use your computer where storage is cheaper and transferring the video is easier and then just stream it across the network to your computer? I wish one of the consoles did that....
@Martin you can stream stuff from your computer to your PS3 already but remmeber that you can transfer your PS3 video on an external HDD/USB/Flash card (i read they are about to make 16/32gb card!) and then plug it to your PC for transfer maybe you can already copy stuff from PS3 to PC, i didnt try
The thing that you have to realize is that you will be able to watch TV anywhere you have an internet connection with you PSP: "you'll be able to use the PSP's "Remote Play" feature to program and watch your PlayTV away from home." That is what I am really stoked about.
Martin, one thing that can be done is attach an external USB drive, so you can go and get your $200 750GB drive and be done with it. The PS3 can probably make short work of transcoding over the air MPEG-2 to AVC, meaning that if they do offer that, then you can get even more use out of a given drive.
Though I hear the comment down a ways, it would be nice if there were USB ports in the back of the unit.

"The PlayTV feature 'will never be out of date'" says the article, not the Ps3.
