After two years of waiting, Sony’s Aussie arm has finally announced a release date and price for its personal video recorder add-on for the PlayStation 3. PlayTV will arrive down under on November 26 for A$169.95.

PlayTV adds in a dual-HD TV tuner, allowing users to watch TV via their PlayStation 3. It features a seven-day electronic programming guide, as well as streaming content to your PlayStation Portable wirelessly.

Word came down last week that Sony may be planning on releasing the TV tuner soon, when a screenshot surfaced of a patch, specifically pointing out support for Australian digital TV stations in the addition/changes notes.

A local Sony spokesperson also confirmed to GameSpot AU that ABC iView is also still on track to come out in 2009 for the PS3 but wouldn't go into any specifics. Similar to a dedicated YouTube channel, iView allows people to stream complete episodes of ABC shows that have already aired.
