Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX"

Posted by michael on from the it's-all-about-the-X dept.

Doctor_No writes "Sony has announced a souped-up Playstation 2 in Japan. The machine, named the "PSX", comes with 120GB hard drive and a DVD+/-RW for recording videos and DVR features much like Sony's Cocoon. The machine will be released sometime in 2003, and come with a service that offers multimedia content such as video and music through internet connectivity. If you live in Japan, it will also come with a BS tuner; which is a Japanese Satellite Broadcast tuner. The new machine also boasts a real-time OS, USB 2.0, Memorystick slot, and a connection with Sony's Portable handheld, the "PSP". UBS Warburg has an article here, but these two Japanese sites offer better information (albeit in Japanese); Watch Impress, ZDnet Japan. Here is a rather large PDF presentation."

    It's made in a plant in Nagasaki, according to the PDF. So...is one of its features to assist its main user by fostering the growth of a third arm or perhaps a second head?

    Fox News tells it how american rednecks want it to be.

    what does your prejudice have to do with the quality of Fox News?

    Somehow, Sky News manages to be better than Fox News, despite being the same parent company (also the same company as Al-Jazeera, BTW...), but BBC news is so far superior it makes either look like a joke.

    could you explain how the terms "better" and "superior" are objective terms?
    How this is anything but your opinion?

    You americans don't seem to realise the sheer amount of propaganda you are spoon-fed.

    Look everybody, it's the Jane Goodall of American culture. First he pinpoints rednecks, now it's all of us. How much time did you spend in the US while doing your research? What cities did you live in? Did you spend time in all 50 states? I'd hate to think you're basing your opinions of all American's on a few of them, or even worse, on television and movies and the news.

    Sure, the BBC is hardly propaganda-free, but compared to Fox, it's amazing.

    I think what you're comparing here, is who's propaganda is being perpetuated.

    I'll be surprised if I get a response to this.
