sweet !

"Sony will release a new hardware platform dubbed the "PSX." The PSX will feature both DVD and HDD recording functions; the former supporting both DVD+/-R and DVD-R and the latter offering a HDD capacity of 120 GB. The unit will feature an installed TV/BS tuner and an Internet adapter, and will also support USB2.0. Memory sticks will also be supported by the unit.

The disc insertion system of the PSX will utilize a slot mechanism, and will feature the same Emotion Engine chip and graphics synthesizer as its predecessor the PS2. By featuring a real-time OS that is to be used for games, the unit will be capable of high-definition and high-speed recording functions. "

it\'s like a tivo and web tv type thingy that burns DVDs and plays ps2 games, and it\'s not being released by sony computer entertainment, but the main division of the company.

Here is a picture of the back

here are some more pics of the new PSX

Looks sweet. I hate to think how much it will cost.

yeah, Im guessing in the $499.00 range.

Considering the money you ll save by buying pirated games and movies instead of originals that will cost you generally less than a PS2 until its out dated

It looks nice.

Wow. I dont really get into these speacial edition things but this look awesome to me. The only thing is that i have 2 ps2\'s and the price of this baby is going to be through the roof (like most special ed sony things). The design is very suave in an exessive technical way. Shrugs*

Hmm controller ports in the back? Doesn\'t seem like a good idea to me...

It\'s an all-in-one box. Not just an upgraded PS2.

If I have some money when it comes out maybe I\'ll buy this instead of getting another PS2. Kinda funny that I have to resort to this since PS2\'s break too easily.

I\'ve yet to hear any of my friend\'s break theirs... I\'ve never broken my PSX or PS2 either. The only probs I\'ve had, and some of my friends too, is a dusty laser, which takes 5 minutes to clean yourself. You must be jinxed or something if you have lots of problems with PS2s breaking.
