SONY, CONFIRMING earlier stories, have exhibited the Playstation 2 set top box, which will include a proper DVD recorder and a TV tuner.
The unit will start selling in Japan later this year and Sony is also expected to introduce a model for the European and US markets early in the new year.

That's likely to prompt Microsoft into action and bring something better on its Xbox platform sooner than expected.

Japanese web site AV Watch has a picture and presentation from Sony on the Playstation STB, which you can find here. µ
