Slashdot Mirror

Thanks to GameGossip for reprinting the press release announcing the release of Datel's unofficial Junk TV software for PlayStation 2, which allows UK-based users with a PS2, broadband connection, and the already million-selling USB Eye Toy peripheral to "record great video messages and share them with your friends over the internet. Store your video clips on Datel's Max TV server, and download messages recorded by others." The PS2 disc, which, interestingly, hasn't passed Sony approval, promises you can "record messages of up to a minute in length", and then "browse the uploaded clips by type, looking for soap-box rants, karaoke performances, games tips and more", although it's unclear whether messages will be vetted before being made public. Update: 12/15 23:11 GMT by S : The Junk TV site is now online, and reveals there's a U.S. version of the software called Max TV.
