索尼 PS TV 发布日期确定Sony has revealed autumn launch dates for its PlayStation TV in the US, UK, and Europe.索尼公布秋季新品发布日期，此次将在美国、英国和欧洲发布 PS TV。Sony had previously announced that the device would be available this autumn Available in Japan since last year, the micro-console is the firm's efforts to take on other streaming television consoles like AppleTV and Roku. Unlike those, Sony's offering will allow gamers access to PlayStation games. Sony said consoles will go on sale in the US on 14 October and in the UK on 14 November. They will cost $99 in the US and 99 euros in Europe, and will include three games. The UK price has not yet been announced. The console will allow users access to Sony's games library via emote Play, and it will also offer access to third-party applications like Netflix. In the US, it will also offer access to Sony's game-streaming service, PlayStation Now, which will be coming to Europe and the UK in 2015. 'Enough of both' Sony has previously announced the existence of the PlayStation TV at various events. Many analysts seem optimistic about the device's prospects, despite earlier failed streaming games efforts, such as OnLive, which was forced to lay off all of its employees in 2012. "This TV could be a proper streaming device, one that could compete well with the other ones that are out there - the Apple, Roku, even things like Amazon FireTV," Brian Blau, research director of consumer technology at Gartner, told the BBC. "It's not the most robust streaming service and it's not the most robust gaming device but it's enough of both for the price," he added.
