PlayTV recordings no longer transferable, says Sony
Filed under: Gaming, Sony Playstation 3
In an article over at Eurogamer, Sony has said that PlayTV will no longer allow saved video files to be transferred to PSP, PC or Memory Stick as originally planned.
This is set to be a huge blow to fans hoping to pick one up as it’s just lost one of its main functions.
The PS3 TV recorder will now only be able to stream live or recorded content over to the PSP using the Remote Play feature.
Those responsible for the bad news, Sony Cambridge stated: “there was no copy protection or time restrictions on the standard format recordings, which could be moved freely onto all manner of storage devices”
With the device still set to launch in the UK on 19th September for £69.99, I can pretty much say that Sony would have lost out on quite a number of potential buyers, as I can personally say I was looking forward to recording clips and transferring them to any device to watch at any time, doesn’t look possible now, So its a big disappointment from Sony. What do you guys think of this? Post your comments below.
