Does this thing connect via USB? If so maybe devs could hack it for the PSP-1000...

» Truth why America won't see this...
The truth why this isn't gonna be released in the US is because the only country where over 99% of the medium and high class people are up to date with technological advances are japanese. The truth is that if they do this in the US or almost any other country it will be a loss for any TV company to host this new service cause only a few people will know about it. In addition, to back this up you all know how poorly portable handheld televisions sold in the US? well you probably don't remember them but you don't see them being sold now, in japan many people bought portable handheld televisions and they still are being sold (and for all those US haters, what happenned in the US goes as well in England, Australia, Canada, ect.).

» Yeah but
that you would buy it doesn't mean it's gonna be succesful. In fact, I bet the majority of people who come to pspupdates for news would buy this because they know a lot of their psp. But to a business standard it would be a failure cause outside this noone will know of the service or know the psp's capability or about new technology and will ignore this, there will be losses if any TV companie decided to host signal for the psp. Now if it were to watch only local channels I could see a possibility since it won't need any agreements between tv companies and the product could be sold by sony to retails but how would they get that to cheap price? Will it be a good investment? Or would it be horrible and actually bring losses due to production cost?

But in Australia we have many portable TV's, maybe in america you use too much cable tv. cable has only really taken off in the last several years here, there is no need for special services we've got free to air tv you can pick up anywhere.

» Japan Only
It will worki n Japan only because we (US) dont get these signals. The only thing we get over here is DVB-T signals, which can allow us to watch FreeView, but Sony still wont make an accessory for that either! So unless you like in Japan, you can not get these signals. Sure you can mod a PSP to run it....but you will get 0 channels...always.

So if the US can only get DVB-T signals, then someone should just make a mod and a hack to allow us to watch TV. I say this should be another contest for QJ.

Maybe its just me, but i have a feeling that someone is gonna make a homebrew or mod that will allow the tuner to work on an original psp. While its not certain, it seems likely, cuz most people wont buy a psp slim just for the tuner, and people would want it

I want one for my old PSP to. But I need PS3 for MGS4 and therefore I can't buy the slim as I actually was thinking about. I love sony consoles, but I agree that Sony is doing a lot of things wrong now. If it hadn't been for MGS4 I had bought a 360 tomorow.

The PSP-1000 isn't much of a difference.
The Slim looks just like the original but
thinner. If the new PSP is ugly, it's just
as ugly as the original then. You make
no sense with your baited breath.

Japan gets all the cool stuff years before US
does, if we ever get it at all.
We don't even have an NTFC GoCAM yet but everybody else gets a GoCAM for their region.
SONY must hate Americans though, I mean think
about it, a lot of stuff gets released to others long
before it's released to the US.
Ok, so to rap it up... Japan gets ChottoShot and Digital

Well, that goes for everyone in the gaming industry. It seems that they really hate europe. Or, I know it is because of sales, but damn it was annoying when they released MGS:PO 6 months earlier in US and japan than europe, I was about to import, but because of that Sony sued lik sang a while ago They couldn't ship it over here. A while later i hacked my PSP and they "forced2 me to DL it. And I want to support MGS and FF because theyr'e so damn good, not even to begin talking about suporting my beloved PSP who suffers real bad because of piracy.

For mobile TV, 1seg is broadcasted in ISDB-T here in Japan.
Same system used in the mobile phone, pda, electronic dictionary etc.. here.
So I doubt they will make different version of the system, as it is not deployed every where.
Korea is more like to get it and they use T-DMB standard.

I really would like to have a TV Tuner but no, We (U.S.A) dont bother broadcasting television through the air. Japan is always ahead of us by like 10x. Everyone in Japan is walking around with TV on all their portable devices, Cell Phones included.
We have DVB-T (Yes, in the US) which can use Freeview, and thats nice and all, but the PSP doesnt have a tuner for that. I would like to see somebody find a way to make a DVB-T receiver work on a PSP, that would be sweet. Because honestly, TV on a psp would be really nice, I dont like locationfree player because being by a hotspot is such a hassle. And the price for DVB-T portable devices is around $300, why not just find a way to get it working on a PSP, the tuners cost $20. And yes, some of them will actually connect to a PSP USB Port, its just a matter of getting it running.

» PAL release
This product will be released in the uk and across all PAL territories to the PSP-2000. The uk version will be modified so it can receive "Freeview" channels (DVB-T) rather than analogue because as of 2008 the analogue signals will be shut down in the uk. As far as i am aware the product will be released early 2008 in the uk and across all PAL territories.
