I know: what PS3 DVR? We haven't talked much about it, but it's out there, and it seems to be kicking ass, according to the reviews on the UK Amazon site. This little device has a two built in TV tuners that let you record and play back anything you'd like to and from the PS3's hard drive. Oh, and did I mention it records in high-definition?
The latest on this amazing device is that it does all of ths without the digital rights management hassle. From CVG's review of the device:
...brilliantly, you can export videos to your PS3's XMB menu as MPEG-2 video (despite rumours suggesting the feature had been removed). From there you can use it like a normal file - watch it on your PS3, put it on PC, transfer it to your PSP... whatever you like.
This makes this Europe-only device even sexier to those who can't have it yet. I hope Sony has this ready for us soon.
What do you think? Would you use this?

you are a fountain of information!!
It says on ComputerandVideogames.com that you can't record in HD.
"Don't expect miracles from the picture quality - you may have your PS3 hooked up via HDMI, but you're still essentially watching a standard definition signal so you'll have the same grainy picture you get with Sky TV or any decent-quality Freeview box."
From CVG's review of the device
Unfortunately, as with all TV - sh*t in equals sh*t out...
Might sound retarded, but can you connect something that picks up HD signals into that coaxial input?
Sony late to the party once again...oh i forgot rumble is so last gen!!!
You're so clever, man. How do you do it?
It's the same with the inability to recieve HD signals - I wont even noticed and / or care about this.
The best part of this device has to be the twin tuner - the ability to watch whilst you record aswell as the feature that should allow you to record whilst in game is making this a fecking great bit of kit
