Neue PlayTV Features nur gegen Bezahlung?

PlayTV soll bekannterweise demnächst neue Features spendiert bekommen, ua. eine Text Chat Funktion während des Aufnehmens / Aspielens von Filmen und Serien, einen Premium Programmplaner, der bereits das Programm der nächsten Woche anzeigt, sowie diverse Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten via Facebook und PSN.

Allerdings wird es dieses Update nicht als kostenfreien Patch geben, sondern als kostenpflichtiges Add-On im PSN Store. Das geht zumindest aus den Aussagen des britischen Produktmanagers James Thorpe hervor.

\"Hi, the development guys are constantly working hard to add as many new features as possible that have been requested across all markets. The new features in this update represent PlayStation’s strong community commitment. You will be able to get the software update on PS Store at a reasonble price. A lot of effort went into developing these features and they will make PlayTV a very unique product.\"

\"!Hi, the guys at Cambridge put a great deal of effort into this update and, unlike the previous free updates, we will be charging a reasonable amout for the new features. Plus members are very important to us and we are looking into providing you guys extra value for PlayTV. Will keep you posted on this. PlayTV Live Chat is an adition to an already great product. If you are not keen on the new features then you do not have to buy the update, therfore there is no reason not to recommend this to your friend, we are NOT charging people to watch TV (as you said)\"
