Sony changes PlayTV functions Print
Written by Donny

Some changes are made before the launch of their PlayTV Service.

 

When Sony said that it would launch a new TV service just similar to that of Xbox Live everyone thought that they could transfer downloaded content to their PSP's, PC's and Memory Sticks. That however seems to have changed now that Sony started considering the possibility of Piracy because of the service.

"With regards to PlayTV, you can not transfer content to your PSP, PC, or memory sticks. You can stream live or recorded TV content on your PSP via Remote Play only," said a Sony spokeswoman.

On top of that it is also said that it will not support HD signals but its something that Sony might want to look to in the near future.

I would still prefer to download movies and shows and install them on my PS3 via Memory Stick. At least Sony still hasnt blocked that feature and I hope it's still the same way in the future. However because all those videos take up memory upgrading the HDD is in the cards in the near future for everyone including those who decide to save content to their PS3's via PlayTV.

The PlayTV device will retail for $130 and will be availble by this fall.
