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

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."

    That'll go good with all my white electronics... oh, wait.

    Eh, I doubt I'd ever get one. I'm really not impressed with the all in one appliances. They just never seem to be as good as if you buy all the components seperatly. Sure it might be more expensive and take up more room but there are advantages. One being quality but also is a greater number of features that are left out of the all in one devices.

    For instance, my DVD player has many more features that the PS2/X-box DVD players have. Not only that I have never had a problem with my DVD player but have had issues with both game consoles' DVD players.
