-10 points for the name alone, reusing the PSX moniker that the original console used to go by is not to my liking.
Aside from that it'll be interesting to see if this is a box whose time has finally come...I recall not too many years ago the idea of the 'all in one set top box' was all the rage, but after disasters like the 3DO and CD-I came and went it seemed to quiet down again.
It seems as though this is bad timing by Sony in any case, how many people are going to want to plunk down cash for an improved PS2 and *then* buy a PS3 shortly thereafter? It seems as though one of the machines will tank, and I'd be willing to be on the PSX being the one.
Think about it, how many people are going to be willing to repurchase a PS2 just for the added features? Most games already have a PS2, and know that the PS3 is just around the corner.
I just hope that this won't stumble hard enough to give Microsoft more of an in to the industry, the failure of X Box has been delightful to this point for me... |

It looks and sounds pretty cool. Too bad they didn't do this from the start. I'm not going to buy another PS2 though. I'll just wait for PS3 to come out.
P.S. Microsoft sucks!!! |

| well one of the points that IGN made about this box is that PSX was never an official name of the PS1, just a code. and beyond that the new tech is being released by SCE(sony electronics) and not Sony gaming. so if there is any significant tanking to be done here, it wont affect Sony Computer Entertainment or the PS3. i dont necessarily think there is no demand here tho. the ps1 remained popular well after its life span- hell it basically killed the n64 and Saturn/dreamcast singlehandedly. the ps2 is somewhat different, but - have you seen GT4? not coming out till 2004, but that will sell these things no doubt. unless the ps2 is hella cheaper| |
