    Sony Electronics' PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox game consoles may include digital video recording (DVR) technology in future versions, panelists said during a discussion at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

    Despite lagging sales, DVR would be a hot consumer technology in the future, said speakers on a panel devoted to investigating future consumer electronics products and technology trends.
    And I say... BULLSHIT!

    It's a USB addon apparently, not a new version console.

    Processing will be in the Xbox, the USB addon (If it is this in the end) will just be a TV tuner, similar to PC USB TV tuners.

    there's been pc usb tv tuners and capture devices for years. and considering that the controller ports in an xbox are usb, it's only natural.

    the only real problem with such a device on an xbox is that the xbox only has a 8gb hard drive to begin with. and video likes to eat tons of hd space if it isnt heavily compressed, something that doesnt work very well on the fly.

    the ps2hdd is supposed to be what, 40gb? and while it might have made more sense for it to be firewire and put that worthless port to some use, it'll probably end up being usb as well.

    and considering the increased cost of the psx already for sale, if sony did make a ps3 with a tivo like functionality, they would be stupid to include it in every console and not release a version without it.

    theres no reason to be mad at any company for the decision.
