Speaking with Gamespot AU, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) Vice President Jim Ryan revealed that PlayTV has enjoyed steady sales across Europe since it's release in September.

In addition, Ryan also confirmed that plans are in place to launch the service in Australia at some point in 2009.

"It's launched in a number of European countries with good sales, steady sales, and we're looking forward to bringing the product to Australia at some point in 2009," said Ryan.

When asked about a specific date, Ryan replied, "There are a couple of issues--technical and commercial--that we have to work through, but it's definitely on the roadmap."

Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available.

    I must admit, that although the price is a bit on the high side, playtv is really good and I think the picture quality is much better than my freeview box. I like it.

    for your information , the playtv (in my country FRANCE) is inconsistent with HD, be careful a lot of people in France are very disappointed, then they are reimbursed

    when you call the support, they say : sorry but there won't firmware update to solve the issue
