View Full Version : What does everyone think?
Info:
Sony has unveiled the PSX, a new machine which combines a TV tuner, DVD recorder and PS2 into a single box. The PSX will include a hard-disk drive and broadcast satellite tuner and is due for launch in Japan this year and in Europe and the United States early next year as an all-in-one entertainment device for games, music and moving pictures.

first of all THE PSX IS NOT A NEW GAMES MACHINE. i get so tired of ppl thinking it is, no offense but that is a real stupid thing to say. but i forgive u because while u only just posted this post i think its old because of the way you said in japan this year and in US and europe next year
just so every1 is more clear on this the PSX is a multimedia device (which a might post a thread about its features) that in effect has a ps2 in it, this thing is not a new console, it has been done by sony corp and not SCE. just think of it this way, a DVD burner with a massive HDD (diffrent sizes for the 2 models but both a huge), plus loads of fuctinality plus the ability to play ps2 and ps1 games all for around $1000
I know its not a new games machine but your reading into what im saying far too much. Its new - Its a machine - It plays PS2 games - hence me refering to it a new games machine. I'm aware that it is not a new PS2 PS3, PS4, Gamecube, Xbox or anything like that! It simply plays PS2 games and is a machine hence refreing to it as a new games machine. :roll:
I agree with Morph, you read way to much into things. You seem to want to spur debate where it's not needed, I enjoy your intellegence in gaming related matter and I assure you the debates will come. But dont undermine someone, especially when what they said has no room for debate anyways. "new machine" I believe it's fairly obvious what he was saying here. In essence it is a new gaming machine.

your right and im sorry, its just that from a year or 2 ago around 80% of my friends turned into xbox fanboys, and i mean real fanboys and u know what xbox fanboys are like, pretty soon after that we were no longer friends but beeing in the same classes at school it was enebitble what happend, more arguments increasing in scale, not because i started em its just becausse they loved to come out with their stupid incorrect comments and i just corrected em and gave em some basic info about computers of course beeing fanboys they wouldnt listen so i desided there was no other way apart from total war, safe to say the arguments stoped prety soon and imnow friends with half of em again, we jsut not talk about xbox and ps2 much and the games instead which i can do as i have both consoles. woops tht went on abit and i havent even got to the main bit. okay basicly when the first psx news came out they were all like ha sony is bringing out a new games console and they cant even make any better hardware then in the ps2, well something like tht
i just read morphus post in the wrong way, and im sorry for that, il try to not do that again i just jumped to conclustions and went into argument mode sorry once again
X-box trolls... :roll: Everythings cool man, keep up the great posts.
ps2 kicks everything about x-box... the first ps kicks x-box... x-box only has halo and rainbox 6 and that's it!!! there's no final fantasy, not all of the tony hawk games, no zelda, no mario, not much good... basically, x-box is really only good for first person shooters...
and, the psx looks awesome but i heard it's really expensive and i have to save up for so much already, like the ps3 when it comes out, a trip to mexico, a trip to greece (so excited about that), and a trip to see my boyfriend... unfortunately this year, psx is sorta my last resort... plus i already have all the things to make up for it... oh well...
bye :lol:
Cool didnt notice we had a girl on the forum. 8) I dont have a problem with any of the consoles really. I believe they're all great..Im just not a big fan of M$, but I dont let that get in the way of playing the X-box because it is a good system.
Yes PSX retails at almost $1000 which is pricy indeed. Only the wealthy and desperate are going to throw out the cash for this beast. If Sonly releases two different kinds of PS3's though, I might be willing to fork out the money for the more expensive one.

yea but its cheap if u consider what its got in it, i mean a lot of DVD recorders can cost say £500 so that would be about $750 by themselves and the psx has a dvd recorder, a massive hdd (the more expensive version has a 250GB hdd, thats the $1000 costing 1. there is a $700 costing 1 which will have a 150GB hdd instead). when the specs are fully restored if they arnt already its specs are
huge (150 or 250 GB) HDD
ps2
ps2 network adapter
DVD recorder (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW)
CD-R
TIFF files
GIFF files
MP3 support
15 second fast-forward flash function
Video title sorting
USB keyboard support
24x DVD reading speed
4x DVD writing
Cybershot camera animation support
i may have missed some stuff out though and i may have made a few small mistakes somewhere though
i can see your point, it does seem cheap when you put it that way...
but, i hope that x-box doesn't gain the lead of ps still!!! it's pretty unfair how they're not even a legendary gaming system and with one console they're apparently better than nintendo!!! nintendo and ps have the best games and stuff... hopefully it perks up and is right along the side of the ps... the psx and ps3 is going to keep it right up on top, exactly where it should be!!!
anyways...
i guess psx is cheap for all of the features!!! it would still take 1/4 of my years wages to get it though!!! (student with part-time job...)
bye
The PSX is not for me. There is nothing in it that I would particulary want anyway that I dont have in some form, even if it was priced much cheaper. :)
Agreed, the PSX is more for those techno nerds that like that sorta thing. I have a PC with alot of the features the PSX has and I never use them. Im with you though Chels, I hope the PSX does well.

It looks like a shitty DvD player. Back to the garbage with that, id never buy it if you were thinking about it. Waste of money, $1000 pffffff.....I can get ATi Radeon 880 Pro 256mb with that money in a couple of days.
Performance is all that matters, for get the desighn. $1000 is a very resonable price for that's all included with it, give or take a little. The Radeon statement is invalid as a graphics card and entertainment box cant be compared. Im with you though, Im much looking forward to getting a Radeon and the only reason I wont buy a PSX is simply because Im not that interested. I can do the same things with my computer.
i'm planning on buying a ps3, and wouldn't buy a psx, but i do also think it looks sorta bad, but at least ps3 is making stuff, while x-box and gamecube are sittin' on their butts doin' nothing. seriously, all gamecube has done in the past few years is make GBA into a cellphone device thing so that every little GBA guy can think he's a little bit cooler. And x-box hasn't really done anything.
the ps is stayin' on top for a reason. they make new stuff like the psx and psp and stuff. and they have some of the best games. you can't really compare, so maybe we shouldn't totally knock the psx until we actually see it in person!
Heh, remember Chels Gamecube, and Xbox's are just consoles...not companies. When making an argument remember to say "Sony is doing blah blah blah, while MS and Nintendo aren't".
GBA in to a cell-phone device? Im confused, anyone else here this. I figure your talking about the N-Gage out by Nokia...a cellualar phone company.
Well really every company brings out new things to keep it's console saling well. For instance, X-Box Live is MS's main thing right now. Nintendo has the GBA and they always release different color of consoles. The Nintendo DS will also be out soon. So Sony isn't the only company releasing new products to support thier main one, they're just better at it. 8)

if i remember correctly Nintendo released a add on for the gba which aloud u to use it as a cell phone but it was sold and for Japan only
and the point of the psx is for those people who have so much crap in their living room’s so they can do this that and everything else, the psx is to replace it as a singular device that does it all which makes life that much easier if that makes sense
$1000? That’s crazy. I’ve already got a PS2 and I don't need a DVD Recorder so its useless to me.
Well yea, you'll see that most dont need or want this device. It's only for the diehards or the freakishly rich. It's a pretty neat device but would be useless for me to get it.

It's a Sony!
And I shall Buy one when it comes.....
Better a Psx then a dvd player and ps2....
I have a Ps2 but I think Psx is better when I waths movies!!!
But a PS2 DVD player works just as well as a typicall DVD player, what would be the point in getting it just for the DVD player? Plus I wouldnt say anything is better unless you have tried it. You cant really say the PSX is better than the PS2 because essentially the PSX is a PS2 just with a whole lot of extras. Maybe you could say it's a better version of the PS2, but not greater than the PS2.

Liksang.com has A LOT of info on the PSX.
I don't care for the PSX so I'm not sure, but I think you can only do one or the other at the same time.
And for the different machines, look at the size diff. ( PSX is on the Left. )

I bought one when the day they came out here in Japan. Overall it's ok (but the price is high). You can record to HD and play games at the same time (although you can't pause a game and go into the sys menu). It plays music burnt to CD-R but dosn't support copying to the HD from cd-r. What I would love is a way to access the HD over the Lan. transfering photos from a camera via USB takes forever (8-10 secs). burn to DVD is average. Would luv to see an english manual for this.

Actually Gamecube is working on the new nintendo "DS" or dualscreen. X-box is making its 2nd system supposadly called the Xenon. Gamecube is said to be maaking another system 2. The name and hardware is still yet to be discovered. The rease of the Xenon is said 2 be in december 2005 while both gamecube's next system are coming out on the same day in november 2005. ps3 butterfly, xenon, and gamecube 2 are all said 2 be priced to be over 500 $$$. save that money up, you only got a year lol. :)
None of those console names have been confirmed Beerlover. Xenon, Butterfly and Dolphin are all just Codenames given by fans. Please make sure you clarify that before you state them as factually confirmed.

Dolphin was confirmed years and years ago back in around what 1999 that it was the codename for the game cube
and I don’t think xenon has been confirmed to be the code name of the next xbox but its just what every1 including some M$ guys call it so...

Morpheus told me himself on another thread that Dolphin was another codename for ps2 like the butterfly, so dont trust them. Thats what he said so thats what i posted later. No offence ofcourse morph, you still know more than me. Infact that just makes me stupid to believe anything people say.
Dolphin was the codename for the Gamecube, case closed. We're dealing with such trivial information here.

I am aware that Dolphin was the codename for Gamecube and you're correct Xenon has not been officially confirmed. It's just a few big gaming websites have been calling that as well as a few Microsoft Insiders.

I did not say it was a codename for PS2! You must have misinterpreted what I was saying. All I said was that it was a codename. I did not mean to imply it belonged to any particular console or time frame. I merely pointed out that it was a codename, nothing more.

what I think is......its cool I like it I want one BUT they havnt come out over here yet, wich sucks.......god im ganna be brook b4 I get out of hi school cuz of all the stuff that microsoft, sony and nintendo are putting out.
Here's an easy solution, dont spend all your money on it. I personally buy a console and then buy games sparingly. As in only purchase a game when I find one that really really interest me. I really have to know Im going to like it before considering purchasing it, the rest I can just rent.

It would be hard for me to buy a game every time a good one came out, im only 15 and cant get money so easy so its a good job for me that my dad likes games. Every time he gets his pay in he buys some games (not for me, for himself. Good job we like the same games), so I usually end up with about five new games every month. he only buys PS2 games as he hates the X-Box, FOOL.

It's the size of your regular set top box, or sky digi box...probably smaller.
You all seem to be thinks that it's a big console with the other features.
Try to think of it this way...its a normal size set top box...with the feature of playing ps2 games.
see, that wasn't so bad :D :wink:
I actually wouldn't mind one, The PSX is very good...IF YOU'RE REAL RICH...sorry was that caps? I actually really would like one if it was the price of a regular PS2, *Ain't never gonna happen*

ModChip $30
or hell just buy a premodded xbox...although you dont get the TV recorder with it, hmmm guess thats what the 600+ more your spending for....
although can you play burned games with that? a modded box can, i guess each one serves a purpose dont it...

I hope if they make a PSX of the PS3, they dont just call it PSX. IMO they should at least make it PSX 3 or anything other than PSX because they've used PSX twice now and for me, it would get quite annoying if they called it the same thing.

There's nothing different from the first generation PSone and the 2nd version. Just a size difference. With the PS2 and the smaller PStwo, there's the size difference, and the smaller version has the network adaptor built in, but it lacks the space for a hard drive.
They're probably going to make a smaller PS3 a little into it's life cycle, too.

I'm not so certain of that this time, because it's going to pack a LOT under its hood. They're probably working very hard on making it a decent size already.

I’m not so sure about that either because Sony did say they're going to make 2 Playstation 3s. One as a whole home theatre console and one as only a video game/movie console without recording capabilities. And because there's going to be 2, I don’t think there would be a need for another PSX.
PeanutButterMunky
02-01-2005, 03:39
The 2nd more complicated version could be considered the "PSX," but it would have 20 times more features than the PSX ever did. Even with the games only version, if that's in fact what they do, will still have so much tech stuff under the hood that they couldn't possibly make it very small.

If they added TiVo i'd be sold =)

Yeh i know, but PSX was a slang term used by most people for the PS1, i have no idea why they called it that, was pretty silly really, and then people get confused cause Sony bring out an actual thing called PSX.
The first Playstation wasnt the PSX, it was the PS, that was it, PS1 or PSOne as its mostly shown as was the smaller, compact Playstation, PSX is a PS2 with lots of functions such as digital recorder etc.. its a super PS2, an attempt of Sony to create a digital media centre for games, music, films etc..but sadly never worked out too well
Some people are still confused with it, referring to is as the second PSX and so on
Thats what i think of it
As for the PSX, i think maybe the time it was released wasnt the best of times, which is why i think it never really kicked off very well, but PS3 is there much better attempt at this :D
So in a way we could refer to PS3 as the PSX2, but its best not to since Sony might release another PSX, who knows..

thank you for clearing that up with me and i checked out what the PSX would look like and it is kinda cool but its stupid for its use. all it is for is to play ps1 and ps2 games how corny is that!?!?
also its called the "japenese version" i found on the net while surfing and found that interesting. why? Because the japanese are so advanced in technology that i thought it was a discrace to make some of so low quality.... but thats only my opinion wat do u think hunnter? :twisted:

Ok you telling me you just found this out with out looking up why we have a PSX broad. just forget what I said.
your right and im sorry, its just that from a year or 2 ago around 80% of my friends turned into xbox fanboys, and i mean real fanboys and u know what xbox fanboys are like, pretty soon after that we were no longer friends but beeing in the same classes at school it was enebitble what happend, more arguments increasing in scale, not because i started em its just becausse they loved to come out with their stupid incorrect comments and i just corrected em and gave em some basic info about computers of course beeing fanboys they wouldnt listen so i desided there was no other way apart from total war, safe to say the arguments stoped prety soon and imnow friends with half of em again, we jsut not talk about xbox and ps2 much and the games instead which i can do as i have both consoles. woops tht went on abit and i havent even got to the main bit. okay basicly when the first psx news came out they were all like ha sony is bringing out a new games console and they cant even make any better hardware then in the ps2, well something like tht
i just read morphus post in the wrong way, and im sorry for that, il try to not do that again i just jumped to conclustions and went into argument mode sorry once again
you should be sorry, just kidding

mumbles your gonna lose massive points for double posting because it is against the rules (dum dum)
why would you come up with that lame term for the PS3 coming out and it wouldnt be righht because if the PS1 was called PSX then the PS2 would be the PSX2 and then that would leave the PS3 the name of the PSX3 duh man think mumbles think! :twisted:

There's nothing different from the first generation PSone and the 2nd version. Just a size difference.
That is wrong. The first PS1 had a slot for your Gameshark at the back but for the PSone has no slot for that. That's why there's a CDX of gameshark now.

PSX is a good concept especially with the hard drive feature. The original ps2 after it's release came out with a 40GB hard drive with Final Fantasy which sold for $100 U.S.D+ and was latter decommissioned for some reason. Did not really sit with some fans especially me, i didn't like final Fantasy series so why should i be forced to buy a hard drive with the final fantasy pre-installed :pissed: . Sony should never try that again, especially with the ps3 they should not sell the hard drive pre-installed with any game. Let it come out by it self without any strings attached. Thats one of the reason that i may buy the psx.

I think the PSX is way over-priced but I like the idea of a broadcast satellite tuner. Hopefully something they will do for the PS3.

Info:
Sony has unveiled the PSX, a new machine which combines a TV tuner, DVD recorder and PS2 into a single box. The PSX will include a hard-disk drive and broadcast satellite tuner and is due for launch in Japan this year and in Europe and the United States early next year as an all-in-one entertainment device for games, music and moving pictures.

:arrow: What does everyone think? Too expensive? (Currently $995 for top of the range import model)
I didn't know it was that expensive and I didn't really like the idea. Is it even being made anymore? I haven't sifted through these pages yet so I wouldn't know. It was just a gimmick to make more money. But isn't everything lol.
I am almost done the article and will post it very soon.
Here it is, any suggestions as to make it better?
Sony CEO can “produce the PS3 anytime”
This bold statement came from Ken Kutaragi himself at the Las Vegas Consumer’s Electronics Show last week.
Could this mean the PS3 is almost done testing? No one knows for sure but Sony has not released much information about it which leads a lot of gamers to assume that it will go on sale in fall and not spring as Sony stated. There wasn’t much talk about the PS3 at this year’s CES and even the PS3 demo consoles on display had a tag saying that they were still subject to change. Ken Kutaragi said something very bold and if he does not support this statement by releasing the PS3 in spring a major upset will arise from gamers who have been waiting for the technologically advanced console to hit the market.
Ken has been very straightforward also saying that the “BD is technologically right. I hope the purely technologically innovative one wins.” This statement was regarding the format war between the Blu-Ray drives and the HD-DVD drives that will supposedly take over the now common DVD-9 format.
However this does not mean anything since a few years back the Sony Betamax lost to the now old VHS format. It lost even though Betamax was technically superior and could mirror on the next format war between Sony and Microsoft.

in the last line, change it from "technologically" to "technically"
Changed it but wouldnt it make more sense to say technologically?
Walid - good piece. I think to improve you could try to seperate the comment from the news, and have the comments abot the piece at the end. Could you try that?

Not really - never read an article where it's said betamax is "technologically" superior.
Okay Bahv

I will get to that right now.

Walid - much better, Its now live! I dropped the last paragraph as it didn't add much to the already good news article.
