More technolust

This article came up on my Google Reader this morning: Sony NZ leaks plans for digital TV tuner in PS3

As Stuff.co.nz don't archive their articles for very long the gist of it is that Sony are planning to include a Freeview compatible DVB-T tuner with the PS3 'by next year'. I was actually speculating at the beginning of this year that if the PS3 had a TV tuner then I would say it would be the ultimate home theater device - particularly for the hordes who have neither the time nor the inclination to build and maintain Myth or MCE b0xxen of their own. This is such a wide open market just waiting for a device like this. I seriously don't know why it has taken so long for a consumer-friendly solution to emerge. I mean the technology has all been there for half a decade now...

If there was a way to synchronise my iTunes library with a PS3 then I think I would just have to buy one of the damn things. And I'm not even a gamer!
