PlayTV is almost here!!!!! Sadly not for US owners. I think Sony should sell a DVR attachment for the US owners. It’s the closest thing that comes towards the PlayTV. If they released it, then it would sell like hot cakes. Sadly I dont think they’ll do that. We will have to just make use of the Playstation movie download store which i’m ok with. I dont watch much TV but i’m sure alot of other people do. One thing Europeans better do is upgrade their Playstation hard drives. Especially if they plan to record HD content.
Play TV is an external device for Playstation 3 that allows European owners to watch record SD and HD television. What you record is stored on the Playstation 3 and you can use your PSP to stream your recordings through remote play.

Well with the exception of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 Modern warfare most Xbox users arent playing their videogames online. OXM did a study and played a few games xbox 360 games online that had decent popularity. To their surprise the amount of people who played those games were very small. The list of games played is listed below
1. Smackdown Vs Raw
2. Fifa 06: Road to the World cup
3. F.E.A.R
4. BRIAN LARA INTERNATIONAL CRICKET
5. Tenchu Z
6. World Championship Poker
7. Blitz the League
8. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2
9. Marvel Ultimate Alliance
10. World Championship Snooker 2007
While I expected some of those games to have dead communities, I didnt really expect to see FEAR or Marvel Ultimate Alliance. If he did more of the up to date games out there I wonder if he would have found more players. Ever since Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 was released those have been the only games recently everybody talks about playing online.
I would have to say Playstation has more online players than Xbox players. I mean people still play Warhawk and Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection Online. Those were games that came quite a while ago. You can compare Tekken 5 with Dead or Alive (which was on the above list).
So what exactly are these 360 users doing? I know for sure all 20 million of them aren’t playing Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. Are they still even playing the console? Were they converted to Playstation 3 users? Do they not want to pay for Online Play? Are their consoles still broken and at the factory repair shop? Microsoft may have the lead in console sales but they dont have people who play online.
