BBC to bring iPlayer 3 to PS3, still hoping to get it on Xbox 360

iplayerSoon, you can continue to play catch-up on all your missed TV series through BBC's newest version of it's iPlayer through your PlayStation 3. Yes, BBC's iPlayer 3 will indeed be heading off to Sony's console very soon.






 

The announcement was made by BBC's Simon Cross in an interview with Tech Radar. All they're waiting for now is the ironing out of some technical issues concerning the sign-in process. "We don't know whether to integrate it with PSN signing in process or do something new," he said.






 

iPlayer has been integrated to both the PS3 and the Wii for sometime now, but it has yet to be incorporated into the Xbox 360. Cross did express his hope, though, that they will one day be able to set an agreement with Microsoft regarding bringing the feature over to their console.

The bbc will not bring it to Xbox 360 unless they let all users use it. Microsoft try to make money out of all stuff they bring out. They are just money hungry. And no i am not just a PS3 fanboy. I own a PS3 and Xbox 360.

From wiki:

"In the United Kingdom and its Crown dependencies, any household watching or recording live television transmissions must purchase a television licence"

You don't need a licence to watch catch-up TV, only live content.

The iplayer on ps3 is great i just wish it would allow you to download the programs like it does on the pc that would be perfect.

It'd be nice if it worked in the States.

the UK and Australia have had the iplayer for a while now but in the US we have no streaming TV player. However, Sony may be making a deal with Hulu as early as next week so the US will finally have a player.

The iPlayer service on PS3 isn't too bad.

It would be nice if it had access to HD content and the fullscreen option needs to fill the whole screen.
