Sony's PSX A Hit In Japan, PS2 Launches In China
Thanks to Reuters for their story revealing Sony's PSX 'media center' has been a major hit in Japan, after the PlayStation 2, DVD recorder and DVR combo "went on sale on December 13 in Japan amid a flurry of media attention." According to Sony boss Ken Kutaragi: "We sold 100,000 PSXs in the first week. It sells for almost 100,000 yen ($941) and it still sold out. There are no products out there that can say that." CNET News are also reporting that the PlayStation 2 has finally launched in China, after "the company... shelved plans for its December launch but failed to provide a full explanation for the change." The PS2 roll-out seems very low-key indeed, though, as "the electronics giant cut down its distribution to two cities from the original five."
Does anyone know if you can DVR record yourself while you're playing a game? I think this would be a really cool feature to have if not. Hopefully we will see it on the US version. buttsex Thanks.
Will the moderators ever check ?
The Japanses will buy ANYTHING with "SONY" stamped on it.
They butchered the original specs of this thing and it still sells.
Ugh, doesn't every home over there own like 3 or 4 ps2's now? Or have they replaced broken ones?!?!
