"Sony has announced a souped-up Playstation 2 in Japan. The machine, named the "PSX", comes with 120GB hard drive and a DVD+/-RW for recording videos and DVR features. The machine will be released sometime in 2003, and come with a service that offers multimedia content such as video and music through internet connectivity. If you live in Japan, it will also come with a BS tuner; which is a Japanese Satellite Broadcast tuner. The new machine also boasts a real-time OS, USB 2.0, Memorystick slot, and a connection with Sony's Portable handheld, the "PSP".

Oh well

I love my psx units , but at the same time I love my xbox to, plus I imagine xbox is all over it Bill Gates stated if psx comes out with a new one he would be there to match it,
in other words but meaning the same thing.

Don't worry, Sony is also in progress in making a hard drive compatible with the ps2. YOu'll need a network adapter to play it etc... As for you driftonin you can add a hdd to ur xbox and get emulators no prob. But some ppl prefer the ps2 over the xbox (me hehehe):D so the decision is up to the buyer. The hard drive will range from 40-120gb (i think). So it will be coming pretty soon.....

JAPAN already has the PS2 HARD DRIVE for some time now !! :)
the broad band adapter for the PS2 has also been around for months :)

the HARD drive just does not seem popular enough to have as an addon device so sony are just going to grab for more money and release it as a whole new concept in one box type thing ...... basically its still the same PS2 with a hard drive shoved in the expansion port :confused:

here's another site that shows the "psx" it talks about it too. Check it out.

http://www.brookfresh.co.uk/

Once you get to the site scroll down a bit then you'll see it. THe title is PSX launched in Japan

Tell me what you think about it. It's a really cool upgrade. Too bad it's only in Japan. How much do you think it's worth here in North America.

BTW- this site also shows how to install a HDD into ur Ps2 if anyone is interested. It's down on the right side of the page in orange in the tutorials section. It's the first one.

Enjoy.
