Sony To Unveil PSX All-In-One Device Next Week

Posted by simoniker on from the praying-to-the-white-god dept.

Thanks to Forbes/Reuters for the news that Sony will unveil its PS2-based, all-in-one PSX game device to the public next week. According to the article, "The PSX, which packs a TV tuner, DVD recorder, hard-disk drive, and the Playstation 2 game player into a single white box, will be unveiled at the CEATEC Japan 2003 industry show... near Tokyo, on Tuesday." Consumers may be seeing the PSX sooner, rather than later, since "Sony plans to launch the machine in Japan before the end of this year, and in Europe and the United States early next year", but unfortunately, "a spokesman for Sony said on Friday the exact launch timetable and pricing were yet to be decided."

    If you plan on picking one of these up, plan on looking for some wireless controllers with it - the controller ports are (delightfully) in the back. This is a Good Thing. The device looks better (you don't have cables hanging off the front of your DVD player, do you?), and it encourages people to go for a more elegant solution. If only Sony had doen the first-party wireless thing. Oh well.

    I like to sometimes turn down the volume to my games and play my own music. You can't do that if this is the only thing you have.

    One of the advantages of the Xbox over the PS2. You can rip your own music onto the hard drive and any game that supports the feature lets you play your ripped music in-game.
