psp tv tuner announced by sony
Sony Japan today revealed a new TV tuner add-on for their PSP portable gaming system. The PSP-S310 tuner plugs into the PSP’s cartridge port and provides digital television reception on the system’s TFT screen.
Unfortunately, the tuner is only planned for markets that support 1seg digital broadcasts at this point, which means that you won’t be able to use it outside of Japan. Also, it will only work with the newly released, thin PSP models (PSP-2000), not the original model (PSP-1000.) The tuner is expected to be released on September 20th for ¥6980 (about $57 USD.)
Hopefully, they’ll make a model that works with other types of signals down the road.

do you think they gona make it for the original psp.
and do we need internet for it
nope, it’s only for the new slim models, and only works in Japan (over the air digital signals)
how can you watch tv on a psp and what kind regular or cable
i want a tv tuner and a psp
sony should come up with a tv tuner for psp owners here in america. They’ll make mad money . but it’ll probably be pricy. it should be cable broadcasted
if they make the tv tuner universal they wold make a killing i know for my self i would be happy to sell my old one buy a new psp just to get the tuner ;D but ;( knowing japanese they would not do it i have a friend wholive over there and they have some cool tech but only for japan …we can only hope
This is a waste of money and complete failure…Everything is going HD and Japan already found something that is going to by pass HD by 2025. Digital isn’t going to be used anymore this was a stupid idea.
the tv tuners pretty good but only if it works outside Japan also.they should have to combine it with the psp go.I’d say that.
