This is getting silly

Ever since both Microsoft's xbox 360 and Sony's Playstation 3 came out fanboys everywhere have been fighting (over the internet of course) over what one is better and at doing what etc etc.

As everyone in this field knows, at the moment 360 in my opinion has the upper hand on ps3 as it has such a wide selection of games and exclusives to choose from. The ps3 at the moment, hasn't. People who have one are just having to be patient. And if that wasn't bad enough the ps3 has lost some of its appeal by losing out on crucial exclusives such as the ever epic Grand Theft Auto franchise to the 360, effectively swaying people more to the 360. It gets worse for Sony. Rockstar have announced that the first 2 additional downloadable content packages for GTA4 will be exclusive for the 360.

But the one thing that most critics agree on is that the ps3 is infact the superior media hub, this has been due to many reasons, from large, such as the ps3's blue ray disc player, to petty, such as the 360's cooling fan being louder that a swarm of very....very angry bumble bees.
Never the less the ps3 always had the upper hand. But yesterday, (or was it the day before, i forget) the 360 launched a firmware update enabling the 360 to support DivX codec as well as a Video On Demand service. This is one of Sony's problems as the ps3 at the moment only supports mp4 formated videos, those of which, no one seems to use.
Hmmmm.

But, PlayStation 3, is going digital.
PlayTV, is to be the new digital TV service released by Sony in early 2008.
It consists of a combined Freeview (DVB-T) TV tuner and Personal Video Recorder (PVR) for the PlayStation 3. Next gen or what.
This new fancy piece of kit will enable ps3 owners to watch, pause, and record live TV by recording the programmes to the console's hard drive. Conveniently, you'll also be able to transfer those recordings to your PSP handheld for watching while on the move. If yur into that kinda stuff.
Designed to reinforce the ps3 as the media hub king and reinstate its place in the family room.
Think of a sky+ box, that just happens to play games and music as well.



Is the Ps3 future proof?
