Looks like Sony's got a new gizmo in the works, which will apparently be "...a hybrid gaming machine with digital media hub features: a TV tuner, DVD and hard-drive recording and photo album and music player functions." They'll be selling in in Japan later this year with a price tag of about $720.
I'm sure by the time this comes to the U.S. it'll come down a little in price, but regardless, I can't imagine one of these things gracing our living room. We've already got a satellite receiver that can record about 60 hours worth of TV, a really nice progressive-scan DVD player, and a PS2. They all do very nicely, and space isn't at such a premium that we're looking to consolidate. A couple years ago we might have considered something like this, but it's really too late for us. Sorry, Sony.
