But Sony should really bundle this with a PS3 which has a 120 or 160Gb HDD. 40Gb is too small and even the forthcoming 80Gb is cutting it fine. <br><br>Its easy enough to swap out the HDD (aside from stripping the screws if you don't use the right tool), but how many non-technical people will bother with that? Maybe Sony should also sell a blister pack SATA HDD already prefitted with a slide try and a screwdriver for easy drive replacement for people who want to upgrade.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DrXym]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 5:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm not flaming, this actually sounds a very good thing, but isn't this going to make it even a shit load harder to sell an all ready overpriced stand alone BR player?<br>At the rate sony is going, they will have 99% BR market share and shut all the other CE companies out,  they will be left with even less than what they have now!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DVD4ME]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 7:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have a good point, but many people on the specialist AV forums (rightly or wrongly) refuse in principle to have what they perceive to be a kids games console at the heart of their AV setup, so whats right for one group, may not work for another group of users]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tronski]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 11:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well its an addon, so it there if people want it or not. Similar to the HD DVD add on for the Xbox 360. I kinda think it would easy to sell, because now it can handle your HD gaming needs, HDTV needs, and HD movie watching needs. I do agree with what you said about Sony taking too much control of the Blu-Ray player market though.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[IseWise]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 4:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[And there in lies the danger with getting into bed with sony and letting them get on top!!<br>It was probably part of the grand plan knowing that greedy and monopolistic  driven anti consumer company, destroy HD DVD and then work on your partners, control 95%+ of the BR market and have the monopoly all to yourself.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 9:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[All the talk about Toshiba subsidizing players, at least they were competing with the opposition, sony is doing the same thing with the PS3 and destroying it's own partners in the process.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DVD4ME]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 7:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[The PS3 is first and foremost a game console. Game consoles are subsidized because game licensing revenues are expected to make up for the up-front hardware losses. You know, give away the razor and make money on the blades. <br><br>In any case, Now Sony's own $399 (MSRP) standalone Blu-ray player is out. Unlike the PS3, retailers will be discounting the standalone player, so  the days of the PS3 being the least expensive full-featured major brand Blu-ray player are behind us for good.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mr. E]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 1:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want to see an American version!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[omfgu8mychkn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 18th 2008 9:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's PlayTV begins European rollout September 10th in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/18/sonys-playtv-begins-european-rollout-september-10th-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[We dont have freeview, so it wont work.
