Sony has announced a network recorder and media storage device for the PlayStation 3. It's called Nasne, and builds on the features of the already-existing Torne digital video recorder technology.
Unlike its predecessor though, Nasne is a standalone peripheral with a 500GB disk drive and a built-in digital terrestrial and satellite broadcasting tuners. When connected to a home network, programmes that have been recorded with a PS3, Vita, Vaio, Sony Tablet or Xperia mobile phone can be shared.
It also has a capability to stream to two different devices while recording. Up to four PS3s can be connected to the Nasne network.
The Torne software will still be required to access the Nasne device from a connected PS3. Vita users will need to download a dedicated application, tentatively titled "Torne for PS Vita." Has a nice ring to it.
Nasne will launch on 19th July in Japan for 16,980 yen (or around £133). Sony has not announced whether it has plans to introduce Nasne in the West. In the UK, the Play TV peripheral allows users to use the PS3 as a DVR, much like Nasne's predecessor, Torne.
