Sony separately announced an accessory for its flagship PlayStation 3 that will turn the games console into a digital video recorder. The accessory is a receiver for terrestrial digital broadcasts such as the Freeview service in Britain.

A player that also owns a PSP will be able to transfer recorded programs to the handheld device and watch them on the go, Sony said.
