PSX Review At Lik-Sang

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."

24x dvd-r

I read somewhere the psx was supposed to have a 24x dvd-r drive. so... is it really 24x; what's this "dubbing"? Like dubbing tapes?

Hehe

DVD burner included, eh? So now you don't even need a computer to pirate your playstation games? Seems like an odd plan, but then again I'm not the one with the degree in Strategized Marketecture, so what do I know.

Re:I wish Sony didn't call it the PSX.

PSX: "Original" PlayStation
PSone: Reworked PSX
PS2: PlayStation 2
PSX: PS2 + TiVo + DVD+-RW

Price

The price of the unit from Lik-Sang is $800 US dollars! - for the cheap version! Does this in any way reflect pricing in the US once Sony releases it here?

1.1 = 2.0

Didn't the powers that be decree that USB 1.1 shall be refered to as USB 2.0? From the comments on this story, I thought we were supposed to pretend there was no differences because any alleged differences were of no consequence. Anyway, anyone who needed high speeds were terrorist of pirates.
