Sony: 85,000 PlayTV units in UK shipped |
Ó
Released just last week in the UK, PlayTV has already shipped 85,000 units. That's quite a big number considering that only around 9,000 pre-orders for the video recording device were placed before its release.
If things go well for Sony, PlayTV could eventually land a big footprint on media hub history. And while the Go!View service is already avaiable on the PSP, the PlayTV pushes the handheld's capabilities further by allowing PS3 and PSP owners on-the-go viewing via Remote Play.
Currently, PlayTV is priced at GBP 69.99, with a release in North America being a big question mark still. Here's to hoping that reception in the UK will convince Sony to release the freeview box in the US as well.

why are we posting this on a American site?
Good for UK
(claps quickly)
Since when was this site American? Damn, if that's the case I want the European PSN update news deleted!!
Shipped, not sold.
Though I can't imagine this product doing well considering how much cheaper (and flexible) it is to get one for the PC/Mac.
Got one of these on my Mac Mini. since it's such an effecient and low power usage device I can leave it on as a PVR. Imagine the bills using a PS3 as one, haha.
I would buy one.
it has a lot of appeal for people who don't have computers
