Psx.
I am so glad that Sony has announced some news on this. And more happy that they have called it PSX. Because some crazy people still think that PsOne code name is PSX, which is not TRUE!
Neways..... A new machine is announced by Sony, which I think would rock and I most probably will buy!.! May 28, 2003 - Sony announced today the PSX, a new hardware platform scheduled for Japanese release this year and American/European release next year (try not to confuse it with the code-name for the original PlayStation system). The PSX includes the PlayStation 2's Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer chips and will allow you to play PS2 games. But this isn't just a games system. The PSX also comes with a TV tuner, DVD recording capability and a 120 gigabyte hard disk. On top of this are USB 2.0 and memory stick support and a built-in Ethernet adapter. This product was announced as part of a financial meeting for the entire Sony group in which big shot Ken Kutaragi revealed that the PS2 has reached worldwide cumulative shipments of 52.5 million. Following an introduction to the recently announced PSP (Play Station Portable) hardware, Kutaragi introduced and demoed the PSX. According to Sony, the PSX represents the synergy between games and electronics. The built-in PS2 hardware will be used not just for games, but for the product's recording features. Sony clarified the nature of the product following the presentation: "The PSX is a product not from SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment), but from Sony. It's a product that was born from the synthesis of the game and electronic fields, so while you can play games on it, it will not take the position of a game console. We're making it into a new DVD/HDD (hard disk drive) recording product that includes technology from SCE." Pricing details and in-depth specifications will be revealed in the future. The pictures below were handed out by Sony. How playstation products fits togather. PSX next to the big TV. PSX. From behind. Sounds awesome.

HOLY SHIT!!!
I will definitely get it someday. Now I wonder, will it be worth it, then, to buy a Hard drive for the PS2 if it gets released over here?

shame i have no need for two PS2s, because this does look nice.
Oh and the ign news article also agrees with strange idea that PSX is the name of the original Playstation. The PSOne was the name for the minature version after all...

Actually, PSX was never the "official" name for the original Playstation. Sony code-named it "PSX" when they announced it after 'breaking up' with Nintendo. The name just sorta stuck with consumer and media..

I like the hardrive idea a lot, the DVD recording would be good too, DVD recorders aint cheap.
But its stupid to release it now, it gets annoying when Manufacturers realease a new version of an existing console, e.g GBA SP, even though I still bought it (The Backlighting was a great feature) But nah, its stupid, I cant really imagine a person who hasnt got a PS2, who will be won over with the new version. I thought PSX was just called that because PS sounds boring and the X brings some sort of coolness, also I think PSX is actually easier to say than PS |

OK...What I want to know is: WIll the Hard Disk Drive still be released seperately so I can buy that and hook it up to my existing PS2 along with my Network adaptor and all that shite and still have all the same available gaming power as this new PSX thing? Because i am certainly not that interested in buying an entire new machine just for the ability to burn dvd's and replace my computer with the damn thing for that kind of price. Unless Sony cooks up some special offer (which I doubt they will) I doubt I could get much money on a trade in and as weird as this sounds I've grown rather attached to this particular PS2 of mine.
SUre I can't deny this new hardware sounds incredible, but since I want to save money, I need some questions answered! Man... _RED_ stuff

I'm assuming that thing is going to be hella expensive.
If it is that amazing, I'll just wait until the price drops to a reasonable price and stick with my PS2 until then. |

The PSX looks and sounds interesting, but like everyone else, I'm not willing to spend a few hundred more dollars on hardware that (despite the new features and the harddrive) will play exactly like a PS2; and judging from the worldwide figures, most people have the good ol' system already.

I would like to repeat my question. Is the Hard Disk Drive still coming out as hardware being sold seperately so you can buy it and take it home and install it to your existing PS2? Read my above post for the full question. I don't mean to repeat myself, I just really would like to know. This PSX thing sounds like an unnecassary investment so I hope the Drive is sold sepereately like the network adaptor.

I voted for Its 'one beautiful machine. Amazing!' I dont know why becuase I dont see the point, why dont sony just do this with the PS3? Some one tell kojima to make MGS3 work on this machine so its better. It will work on it most prbally, but just for more power. But I will buy this, probally on the release date.
