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 into a single white box. 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.
Sony claims that the primary strategy behind the PSX as well as the upcoming PSP is to create a fusion of both gaming and general electronics. The company hopes to create a new market that will be driven by the provision of updated game, image, and music-based content.
The new PSX will be released not by Sony's offshoot SCE but by Sony Corporation itself. Furthermore, with its DVD and HDD recording abilities, the machine is being positioned as something that transcends just a simple gaming-based product (although the unit of course is capable of playing games.)
