But Sony is determined to change all that with its next-generation console, according to the latest issue of US magazine PSM. Scans of an article posted on the PlayStation.com forum (sorry, no link - it's the law, you know) reveal that Sony is hoping to "go way beyond mimicking Xbox Live" with an all-singing, all-dancing online service. And that's not all - some very interesting details regarding the PS3's multimedia capabilities have been revealed, too.

 

So do you think Sony has what it takes to make a successful XBOX-Live esque service?

Rather excitingly, the PS3 will act as a digital video recorder, so you can digitally store all your favourite telly programmes just like with Sky+ and TiVo. Plus, you'll have the option to control the DVR function using your PSP.

MS has a 4 year head start on live. sony will have to play major catchup to stand a chance.

PS-Live news not so interesting.

 

However, the PS3s multimedia capabilities still impress, especially if compared to the less than amazing offerings of the 360. If they can live up to these promises Im looking to be sold on the PS3 (and maybe even a PSP too).

I don't feel like eating the same cookies sony fed us a few years back. So I really don't think much about this.
