It's an ok idea and I'm glad to see Sony branching out but I can't help feel it's too little.

500g? That's nothing...I'm not sure people will pay so much for so little, Or if the market is big enough for it.

I already have cable with a 1TB Tivo box. And a 2TB NAS attached to the network. Sony are about 2 years too late for me at least.

Maybe they will fair better in the fledgling markets, but I cant think of anyone I know who doesn't have a similar set-up to my own.

yewles14382d ago

This is primarily for streaming content to multiple devices simultaneously, mainly a PS3, PSVita and VAIO PC. You can't really stream TiVo content to a PS3 w/o streaming it to a PC first, creating a daisy chain from hell.

Tired4382d ago

Ok, granted. But my NAS streams to my ps3, laptop, tablet and phone. Whilst my Tivo box records however many programs simultaneously.

Speaking off daisy chains, we have two ps3's, a nas, a desktop, laptop all wired through a gig switch. Any .mkv is taken from the nas, transcoded then viewed on the ps3. It's not that bad. And at least the wires are hidden.

It's a great device...but I'm not sure it'll be the next big thing. I've had all those bases covered for a couple of years now. Most people I know do but Maybe there's enough people who don't.

I'd like to see some serious innovation from Sony. Something cool and 'MUST OWN!'

NewMonday4381d ago

a good device idea that many would really want is box that can stream everything over the whole house.

plug a PS3, 360, PC, cable, satellite TV, internet into it and it will deliver content multi-channeled to every room, it should also be able to send and receive data between devices as a middle man with a simple drag and drop interface

NukaCola4381d ago

Is this what TORNE for PS3 is like? I thought it was an AppleTV meets TiVo device that hooked to your PS3. Also gave trophies too.

morganfell4381d ago

"2 years too late for me at least"

You are missing the fact that by instituting this now Sony will gain a wealth of experience and feedback. Not just from people like you that refuse to buy it but from people that actually do pick one up.

When Sony institutes this next gen it will have the kind of leg up that is only possible from actual market entry.

Otherwise Sony would be stuck with the kind of half value research that exists on paper and the comments of people that not only didn't buy a non-existent device but neither did they get everything exactly the way they wanted it with their name engraved on it, in gold, a luxury home, maid service for life, and a never aging supermodel nuclear physicist girlfriend...yesterday.

metsgaming4381d ago

so let me see if i can get this straight. You can connect it to a set top box and it can stream the cable over the wifi and you can watch it on a vita? If so can someone else watch something else on the tv while this is going on or does it have to be on the same program/recording? If so i would be interested if the price is right =)

jeseth4381d ago

Sometimes when you sit back and look at what we complain about you realize how lazy and convenient our lives are.

Thats all I could think about while reading hawks issues with this device.

yewles14382d ago

Considering it's Japan only, AND that it's created by SCE, I REALLY don't think this was meant for anything other than another PlayStation accessory for a market that CAN accept this, considering Torne is still in the market and all...

Ok, better start making plans to move to Japan then.....

dcbronco4381d ago (Edited 4381d ago )

@hawkboi

Considering next generation consoles will most likely be able to record I believe this is too late too also. The next Xbox will surely be a cable box like the 360 but with the added function of recording games and live TV. This seems like a unnecessary expense. It would have been better a couple of years ago.

Sucitta4381d ago

not sure if this will happen but it would be a welcomed addition = )

WeskerChildReborned4381d ago

Let's just hope that next gen consoles come with a built in recorder. I think it'll be sweet if it did.

mcstorm4381d ago

I don't see the next xbox and PS4 having a built in tv function. as no country is the same and all offer different services for example here in the UK we have SKY Virgin Media BTVision Talktalk TV FreeSat and freeview. I see Sony offering another freeview box like the I see them all talking to the big names from each country and having IPTV as they don't need different hardware to do this as it can be done via software like bbci player Netflix skyplayer ect is done now in the UK.

I do think this box is a little late though as people can pickup storage that can do all of this with the ps3 and 360 with bigger drives ect. For me im going to carry on using my Windows Home server 2o11 as I have over 4TB of Video and Music content and this is the best way for me to be able to manage, Backup and use and different devices and at the same time.

dcbronco4377d ago

Storm the 360 has live tv function. You believe they will remove it next gen. Not going to happen. MS tried to go directly to content holders but had to settle for using cable operators. MS will eventually get direct content. And they hired their own writers years ago for exclusive content.

They should have doubled this up to allow game capture(that saves directly) also, would have been pretty sweet.. suppose that's a minority userbase in comparison though

Where does this fit with PlayTV and torne?

MySwordIsHeavenly4381d ago

I honestly have NO idea what this thing does...

Even after reading the article, I'm completely confused.

SuperStrokey11234381d ago

you and me both... it just records TV?

xAlmostPro4381d ago

It doesn't just 'record'..

It allows the devices to watch digital TV also(sort of like a freeview box) and record.

The recorded files or whats currently being watched can then be streamed to multiple devices, either at once or something recorded via ps3 will be accessible via other sony devices via app software.

xD

MySwordIsHeavenly4381d ago

Ok...

Which channels does it get?

The_Devil_Hunter4381d ago

Haha I read as well and I the read the below comment to see if it gave more info but I still find it rather confusing....is it free tv for PS3 and Vita?

Huh..

Soldierone4381d ago

I don't understand it either. I want to, but can't.

From what I'm getting its a box for satellite TV etc...but isn't free? But unlike your standard box, this can record AND stream it to all devices?

Godmars2904381d ago

Where is the GoogleTV equivalent of this damnit!

Sony's Nasne Release Delay Due To Broken Hard Drives

Andriasang.com

''SCE has issued a statement regarding the delayed release of the Nasne peripheral. The company says that the internal 500 gigabyte hard drive in some units were damaged during shipment from the factory. The damage occurred after quality assurance tests had been conducted, so Sony has to reinspect all units.''

This is the difference between Sony and Microsoft. MS would have released his with the broken HDD if it were thiers. It's a shame how such a dishonest company is so successful. Guess that's the only way to succeed in this world.

dazzrazz4289d ago

Oh noes like most of fat PS3 units did not die from shitty blur ray drive lenses or YLOD

Best4289d ago

Yep, it's official, QA is out the door with Sony.

justpassinggas4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

@dazzrazz:

It has been shown countless times that the RROD defect was inherent to every 360 that was released in at least the first two years of production. The product was broken right out of the box. It was of pandemic proportions. On the other hand, the YLOD is not as infamous as the RROD simply because it hasn't happened at nearly as big a scale as the RROD. I still have my phat PS3 and it is working perfectly fine. Can't say that about the 360 for myself or for any of my friends who have all had to get replacements for their original 360s at least 3 times and a few just outright bought the newer version to save them the hassle!

cstyle4289d ago

That maybe true but at he same time, sony can't really afford to handle the fallout from faulty hardware. They can't afford to pay out a billion dollars the way a cash rich corp like ms or apple can.

WeskerChildReborned4289d ago

Oh well that's reasonable but wow that's bad luck that they decide to break down before it was about to launch lol.

IHateYouFanboys4289d ago

i dont understand why it doesnt have a removable HDD, yet you can plug in external HDDs? if youre going to make it a NAS, make it a NAS instead of just half-arsing it. a NAS with 500gb is completely pointless.

limiting the streaming of PlayTV/Torne to only Sony devices is also a typical sony BS move. why not let the 10s of millions of iOS/android device owners stream it?

@Pirate - Thanks, thought it was the name of the leaked new PS3 slim.

zeal0us4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

From the looks of it, it look like the rumor new PS3. The pics from a few weeks showed some kind of ps device with no disc drive on the front of it.

iJihaD4289d ago

I Guess it'd have better sales if it also recorded PS3 gameplay.. Duh, Sony.

If that is true then why did they release the Playstation Display. That is the most faulty product on the market. I haven't sold one that hasn't been returned in their first 6 months due to hardware failure. Not to mention how can you say you stand by a product that only has a 90 day warranty for a display. Also lets not forget they waited a week to let everyone know our credit card info was stolen or potentially stolen. Im a fan of the playstation brand, but they arent flawless.

Neko_Mega4289d ago

The fail rate of PS3 was at best 14%, which is lower then 360's 54% fail rate. Having that big of a fail rate world wide is a bad thing, kind of the reason I like Sony products more.

Plus if you don't want something that will must likely fail on you, don't buy the first wave of it then. Could save you alot of trouble, like the PS2 had when it came out.

BABYLEG4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

In America we create then innovate.. in Asia they just Chug along and stay stagnant. Look at all the Asian countries without US influence.. they just live a long life of nothing and then die. In America, we perfect. Other countries imitate.

Yall ain't gonna sit here and disrespect. As bad as we are, we're light years ahead of those other dusty ass countries. The shit I got 12 years ago is in theaters now over there.

Rainoffire4289d ago

In reply to Babyleg.
Yet a large amount of technology still comes out of the Asian countries.

Japan has a proper railway system, that is far more advance compared to the US. Samsung pumps out brilliant displays in monitors or TV. The best cameras come from Japan. And most Manufacturing has been out source to China.

In theaters? Are you only talking about how movies take time to arrive in foreign countries?

Europe and Asia have a far greater internet connection available to to public at much affordable rate. Cars far more efficient and reliable compared to USDM, V8 15mpg isn't very pleasant... Foriegn countries have even started doing ECO efforts long before the The US. America perfect? Far from it. The US influence? Yes it is there, but it is more a cultural effect, like fashion and phrases.

The US is far ahead of many, in terms of military advancement. Trying to fix other countries problems instead of its own domestic affairs.

TBM4289d ago

I'm american and can't believe babyleg actually said that crap. america does nothing of the sort, and if it actually did do what he claims he needs to explain our HORRIBLE internet infrastructure, our crappy car making skills.

we dont perfect a goddamn thing here in america.

TBM4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

@babyleg

also explain to me if we're so perfect why it take my friend more than 3hrs to get home from work here in NYC after a rainstorm cause of water on the tracks.

i'll take a product made overseas to an american made product 99% of the time.

Godmars2904289d ago

No point in having one unless you're in Japan. Or Europe for matter.

Given the structure of US cable companies its just too problematic.

nukeitall4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

I don't know, I think MS is coming out with DVR functionality in the US. It certainly was indications of it, but I have feeling it is delayed and will be rolled into the next Xbox.

Godmars2904289d ago

MS is trying to supplant cable by becoming a new cable service. Likely holes to strong arm their way in once a certain in the general market is reached, but its arguable they'll ever reach that point.

Soldierone4289d ago

No. This is the exact reason MS is securing deals with companies like ESPN, to provide their own service.

Cable companies are run like a bunch of idiots, and those idiots pay even bigger idiots to get channels.....look at DirecTV fighting with greedy Viacom right now....
