62We were expecting some form of new PlayTV information from Sony’s Gamescom event, and we got it in the form of “PlayTV Live Chat”.
Apparently Live Chat will add community features to the app, including (unsurprisingly) live chat, as well as programme recommendations and the ability to share what you’re watching on Facebook.
Sounds like a software update for the existing hardware, but we’re waiting for more details from Sony.

Wonder if this will work like Sky’s chat feature on Xbox? and if so its a really cool feature, but I can only see it being of niche attraction

One (quite major) question: WHY?

no mention of hd then?
you can get hd freeview boxes now so they can’t use the “specifications aren’t final” excuse any more.

They said that they are looking into HD possibly for the future.

Does this mean live talking chat or typing chat ps3 style? Wish they would bloody sort this out once and for all.

Typing chat PS3 style, which will either be overlaid on the picture or in a seperate area of the screen.
