Bret? Present. Jemaine? Present. Murray? Present. PlayTV? ... Sony's
PlayTV DVR add-on for the
PlayStation 3 suffered through more than one delay before going on sale in Europe, and it appears thing will be no different in
New Zealand, but at least with good reason - they're getting HD working this time. As it stands, the original version's dual HD
DVB-T tuners are pretty useless since there aren't any Freeview stations broadcasting in that format in the UK and FreeSat HD support is still up in the air. David Hine from Sony revealed on the
ButtonMasher podcast that a push back 'til the end of the year is related to the spread of high definition on the island, so that they can "work in" HD support before it launches, unleashing Remote Play and XMB powered HDTV watching upon the populace so they can catch season two of
Flight of the Conchords as it was meant to be seen.

It's "Jemaine"
Ha, fixed
I thought it was hip-hop-opotamus.
Richard, I know what you meant.
I love the show.
Only trouble is that Flight of the Conchords in New Zealand is on a channel that isn't broadcast in HD anyways...
i wish this thing would come out in the u.s. i just ditched comcast and it would be nice to use one device to control all my media, play games, and watch/record hd ota.
At least this is still coming. I thought they'd scrapped it. I've been holding back on getting a Freeview box just so I can get this.
