“Sony on Wednesday introduced the PSX, a follow-up to the hugely popular PlayStation 2, and touted it as a device that creates a new entertainment category.
In addition to the basic features of a game console, PSX will offer a DVD recorder, a 120GB hard drive, a TV tuner, an Ethernet port, a USB 2.0 port and a Memory Stick slot.
The PSX shares a number of components with PlayStation 2, including the Emotion Engine processor and the operating system. But the company tried to design it as a “digital appliance of the next generation,” and as more than just a game console, by infusing the elements of a PC and an audio-video appliance, said Ken Kutaragi, head of Sony Computer Entertainment.” [News.com]
I don’t like that they’re naming this the PSX. They’ve already had a PSX! Am I the only one that remembers that when the original PlayStation was shipped it was called the PSX? It’s almost as if they started calling it the PSOne and overnight it was so. Sony should remember the names of their own products. Call it the PS2 EX or something like that. The PlayStation 2 EX. Not the PSX.
