In what looks like an accidental leak yesterday, Sony New Zealand boss Warwick Light let slip that the company plans to release a digital tuner for the Playstation 3 that will mean the consoles will be able to be used as a TiVo-like digital video recorder. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10455415

It appears that the tuner will be released as a USB add-on, accompanied by a software upgrade that will allow PS3s to record television to their internal hard drives.

This is a steep discount compared to what users in the U.S. and elsewhere are charged for the software. The reason for the price reduction? Battling piracy, of course. The new pricing 'narrows the price gap between original versions of Microsoft's software and pirated copies,' making it that much easier for consumers to do the right thing."

If this isn't the perfect oportunity for a desperate 25th level Cleric to conjure up a potion of rohypnol, I don't know what is.
