PSX Review At Lik-Sang

Posted by timothy on from the eyecandy dept.

bhtooefr writes "Over at Lik-Sang, they've got a review of the new PSX, which was released in Japan on the 13th. In it, they take a look at the new design, debunk some myths (that the new controllers were incompatible, and that the ports are USB 2.0 - they're 1.1), and crack the case open. They didn't like how it's incompatible with some peripherals and the MultiTap doesn't work."

    I know. Here's the summary of the models:

    PlayStation (PS): Super Nintendo with a CD drive. 200 made, and no known CD games.
    PlayStation X (PSX): The PlayStation as we know it.
    PlayStation One (PSone): Original PSX, just in a smaller form factor.
    PlayStation 2 (PS2): The PS2 - how hard does it get?
    PlayStation X (PSX) (version 2): A PS2 with a built in TiVo and DVD burner. And a confusing name, to boot.

    Actually you are wrong on certain things. The original CD addon for SNES was called the "Super CD." I don't believe any were actually produced either (but don't quote me on that). The PSX designation was given to the original playstation in its developmental stage. PSX originally stood for Play Station Xperimental. The other info you posted is correct though.

    This is what happens when you rush a product.
