For all the console geeks out there...

PlayStation 2 + DVD Recorder + TV tuner + harddisk = Media Center = PSX

Its not PS3... its just a PS2 in a new body... with some added extra's...

Oh and its about the same size as the XBox :)

Is that just a PS2?! I'll edit my first message then. OK, it looks sexier, but I'm disapointed now. Meh...

me knows aboot this.. I think it comes out in Japan late this year or early next.. and we should get it late next year I think.
This also means we're not getting the ps3 until 2007 :(
I read about this a few days ago.. I'll go check and make sure I didn't tell you any false info.

From what I know, it's coming out in Japan at the end of this year and it's going to be in US and Canada by the end of the first quarter next year. The problem with this thing is that the PS3, Xbox2 and GameCube2 are supposed to be out at the begining of 2005 so really - I cant see the reason to shell out any more money for this thing.

Sony is trying to say that it's in no way supposed to be in the same catagory as the ps2 or take it's place, in fact it's being marketed and made through the Sony Entertainment divison and the PS2 is through the Sony Computer Entertainment Divison (or something like that) - they are trying to make sure they arent in direct competition. Which is really stupid because they will be and the way I see it is they are trying to get a few more thousands sold before the next one launches and secure they hold on the market for another generation of systems.

Yes, it is. ;) I love Sony stuff too, but after checking prices and features of their devices (TV, CD MP3 player, stereo, etc.) I come to the conclusion that they are very expensive for the things they offer. You can get more features on a Panasonic for the same price... and I don't think Panasonic is crap compared to Sony... Also, the customer service of Panasonic is wonderful. It's "we changed this and this to make it work again". Sony's answer: "Repairing *this*? Nope, no can do. There's a new one over there if you want..."

Sony makes great stuff. Only too "meh" if you look close enough.

Don't understand me wrong, I think so too. Just too poor in features compared with other great brands for the same price.
But you can't go wrong with a Sony product (usually).

Except that they're designed to break 3 months after their warranty expires. Especially their walkmans.....
