Sony To Ship Enhanced PSX Console/DVR Combo

bluethundr writes "The Register has posted a story indicating that Sony will ship the new PSX models on July 1 (Japan first, Europe to follow, then - eventually released to us Yanks?) following the company's move to suspend production of the original model of PlayStation 2/digital video recorder hybrid, earlier this year. Apparently: 'The new models, the DESR-5100 and DESR-7100, offer the same storage capacity - 160GB and 250GB, respectively - as their predecessors, the DESR-5000 and DESR- 7000. What's changed is the introduction of a better graphical user interface and the ability to add DVD-style menus to content copied from the unit's hard drive to a DVD-R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc.' Sony also appears to have added a range of extra video recording modes to maximise the amount of programming that can be stored on the PSX's hard drive."

Japanese people get excited by anything new if it's released by certain companies. For whatever reason, they would buy a bag of shit for Sony.

In some ways, I feel sorry for them. They have such meaningless lives. All wrapped up in what trendy bullshit is on the *it* list. Precisely the characteristics I hate in people.
