PlayTV Hits European, Aussie PS3s In Q4

[EoT]

"PlayTV, Sony's digital television tuner/recording device for the PS3, has finally been given a release window. Speaking with Sony Australia during a techy meeting this morning, Gizmodo AU were told that the system would launch in Australia during Q4 2008, "roughly a month" after it's released in Europe. They were also told that it would retail "for less than AUD$200" ($US185). Any Americans not already aware, now's a good time to remind you that, sorry, thanks to the way your TV is broadcast, you will never ever see this in the US."

Poor US I guess? Does anyone know if this gives your picture HD? or is it purely for the pause/recording options?
