European XMB Icons?? (Play TV related question)

Archive: 18 posts


Hey guys just a quick question for whoever can answer me first. I need to know in which order the XMB main icons are on european PS3s. See we don't have the TV icon (Play TV) here in the Americas and I can't for the life of me find a full screenshot of a european XMB. My guess is this:

Users, Settings, Photo, Music, Video, TV, Game, Network, Playstation Network, Friends.

Is that correct?

Thanks!

Everything correct, only the "TV" section isn't here for us
I assume that is Qore?

O_o So it's not out? I thought I had read it was already out (that little box contraption and everything)? Anyway yes, I meant the Play TV icon... So is it out anywhere in Europe? Or has it never come out at all?2008-12-27 21:09:00

It isn't out in Europe, no.
The UK might be getting it this year, but there is no hope for countries like Belgium :/

It's basically something like Digital TV.
You can record TV programs and films onto your HDD, you can rent films from a library etc...

It's out alright.
It was in the shops.

But.
It's freeview.
And I've got Sky.
So nah.

If so, then I'm wrong about UK getting it in 2009, they've already got it.

Wait. Have you got Users, Settings, Photo, Music, Video, TV, Game, Network, Playstation Network, Friends in the US?

No, that's why I'm asking, we don't (won't ever) have Play TV. Oh and I'm in Canada, but it's the same for the US. See they have the PS Video Store, which we don't even have, but that's not an XMB icon, just another tab in the PS store

In the UK, we don't have TV, but everything else is correct

I'm almost certain people in the US don't too

Huh, darn, thanks I mean, lol... But I'm even more confused now. Could it be that the icon only installs itself if the PS3 owner buys and installs Play TV?

I think that's themost likely answer mate. We've got no use for it if we haven'tgot PlayTV2008-12-27 21:53:00

I finally worded my search right in Google to find the info I needed! lol.

Anyway if it interests anyone other than me, I was correct about the way it shows up, and it does indeed only pop up (the PlayTV icon) once you install PlayTV.

PlayTV is available in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and France, with other countries to be announced soon. It is unlikely the device will make it to North America any time soon as digital over-the-air TV is hard to come by. If anything, North America may get a similar device in 2009.

[...]

The installation only takes a few minutes to complete, after which a [TV] icon will appear between the [Video] and [Game] XMB icons.

And of course a big thanks to those who tried to help, I realise now only a very small percentage of PS3 owners have the TV icon on their XMB
