Sony Unveils PSX Details, Pricing

kevinvee writes "Following an earlier Slashdot article, Yahoo is now reporting on the actual unveiling of Sony's PSX, with in-depth details on features and Japanese-specific prices for the 'hybrid gaming machine with digital media hub', which will start at $720 for the 160-gigabyte hard disk version." Japanese site Watch Impress has more pictures from the unveiling, including close-ups of the machine, and Digit Magazine explains specific features of this "hard disk, DVD digital video recorder and PlayStation 2 rolled into one", most notably that "...recording at 24 times normal speed is possible when copying previously recorded video... to a DVD-R optical disc", while GameSpot provides further analysis.

Said a million times over

Like most people, I really don't need a multi-function device- especially one that tries to address un-related needs.

It's a video game console, of a generation that is in its decline.

AND it is an early generation DVD recorder.

Not too long from now, I would be buying the next-gen console, and I won't feel so good about my multifunction device (ugly to boot) sitting in my cabinet.

Take out the Playstation, and it makes more sense to me.
