Darern Waters from the BBC news technology blog got some hands-on time with PlayTV and also got to film it in action (perhaps for the first time). Soon we won’t have to sit up for half the night to get our Family Guy fix.
Edit: Some of you have been asking about whether or not the PS3 will boot up if you set it to record. We asked the chaps at Sony and the answer is yes! If you set something to record and turn off your PS3 it will turn on to record the programme and then switch itself off afterwards.
Edit2: Yes it does support subtitles. As long as the programme has them, PlayTV will support it and record it. Sony come through again.

1. If two separate paths look connected, they are.
2. If a gap between two paths disappears from view and the paths then look connected, they are.
3. If one path seems to be above another, it is.
4. If a hole disappears from view, it does not exist.
5. If the mannequin jumps from a path, it will land on whatever lies beneath.

Resistance 2 is definitely going to be one of the top PS3 games of 2008. Insomniac CEO Ted Price revealed some new information at D.I.C.E., most interestingly that Resistance 2 uses the Ratchet & Clank PS3 game engine.
Ted also talks about the co-op and multi-player game modes and reveals that 60-strong multi-player matches are being tested right now and run with no lag.
The biggest criticism of Factor 5’s L.A.I.R. was its non-optional use of the SIXAXIS motion controls. Recently talking to IGN, Factor 5 President Julian Eggebrecht recognised the criticism and even hinted that an update could be on its way to change the control scheme.
“If we find a chance in the future that would bring Lair to the audience which didn’t get any access, that would be fantastic. I can’t say anything quite yet, but there might be something in the works there. We might have a chance yet to bring those back to the table and hopefully, if that should happen, they would give the game a second chance.”

It’s been a while since Warner announced their Blu-ray exclusivity, and the war still goes on, with Paramount and Universal clinging onto HD DVD. This week delivers yet more crushing blows to the HD DVD camp, with US mail rental firm Netflix phasing out support for the format, and retailer Best Buy planning to give Blu-ray more shelf space and recommend it to customers over HD DVD. This, along with various European distributors going Blu-ray exclusive since the Warner move, pushes the camp closer to victory – although, the final nail in HD DVD’s coffin is bound to be the loss of Paramount and long standing supporter, Universal Studios.

To mark the release on February the 18th of Resident Evil: Extinction on Blu-ray, Sony Pictures have kindly given us 15 copies of the film to give away here on Three Speech.
Resident Evil: Extinction is the third installment in the series of film adaptations, based on the Capcom franchise and starring Milla Jovovich. Borrowing elements from the Resident Evil Code: Veronica video game, the film follows the sleepless heroine Alice, and a group of survivors from Raccoon City, as they attempt to escape a zombie apocalypse. Erk.
To be in with a chance of winning a copy of Resident Evil:Extinction, simply answer the following drop-dead easy question: who directed Resident Evil: Extinction?
Email your answer to blog@threespeech.com and if you are one out the first 15 out of the hat when we do the draw at midday on Friday, a copy of REE will be yours. Be sure to put Resident Evil in the subject of your email. This competition is open to UK residents only.
Ken Kutaragi, the man with the PlayStation masterplan, the guy who got the phenomenon started, scooped a Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual D.I.C.E. Summit at the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS).
