Topic: PSX (DVR)


  
  PSX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PSX DVR was released in Japan on December 13, 2003.
Therefore, it is safe to assume most usage of the term "PSX" in the 20th century refers to the unofficial name for the original PlayStation.
This page expands a three-character combination which might be any or all of: an abbreviation, an acronym, an initialism, a word in English, or a word in another language.

 Sony Computer Entertainment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sony's first foray into the video game market, the PlayStation (formerly PSX, currently called PS one), was initially set to be an add-on for Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Famicom video game consoles as an answer to Sega's Sega CD.
The upgraded system was renamed the PSX (an acronym often mistakenly used to represent the original PlayStation).
The PSX has extensive media connectivity with the PSP.

 The MagicBox Forums - PSX2... picture this!
Sony already had a DVR that was 10 times better than the PSX, even at those specs they had announced before hand which they had pulled out.
The PSX on the other hand has a good blend of these technologies and for the high price of 941 dollars on initial shipment, it will be like half that when its released abroad.
Sony didn't delay the release of the PSX, even though that pretty much 1/2 the features had to be taken out at launch and sony already had a DVR better than the PSX on the market for 1/4 the cost.

 The MagicBox Forums - PSX Officially Dead
When the PSX came out, there was already a DVR made by sony on the market that had twice the space and 3 times the capibility for half the price.
Yeah, the PSX was just so lame of an idea...So was HDD....Is Sony going to do the same nonsensical things during the PS3 era...It will stand to reason they will do something dumb....
So perhaps it would be accurate to state that the series 5500 and 7500 PSX models have finished their production runs, and those in Japan who want one of these models would do best to head to retail and pick one up.

What I meant to say was after having to spend that kind of money on the PSX, consumers will expect to not have to pay any additional money for its functionality, because they will have thought they paid for the functionality that the PSX would offer.
To continue to expect DVR's to be free is misguided.

PSX can refer to these following items: The official name for a PlayStation 2-based DVR released in Japan Unofficial name for the original PlayStation console This usage derives from the fact that Sony originally developed the PlayStation as a CD-ROM and SNES hybrid unit.
When the project was halted by Nintendo, Sony decided to redesign the PlayStation as a stand alone console, which was known internally as the PlayStation Experimental.
The original PlayStation was abbreviated in Japan to "PS" and was often abbreviated as "PSX" by American gamers, as this was Sony's internal code name for the system while it was under development.

 Sony halts the PSX again, this time for good? - Engadget
We're not going to say the PSX was doomed from the start, because not only was it a wonderful idea to combine a DVR (with a DVD burner) and the PlayStation 2, but it came as part of a gallant effort on Sony's part in an apparent (rare) collaboration of divisions.
A lot of people lamented the day when Sony pulled out of the market, and a lot of others thought the PSX would be a TiVo when it was released here (at the time, their deal with TiVo was still in effect).
I wanted the PSX but it wasn't anywhere near the same self as the regular HD/DVD burner machines and dragging the wife down to another floor would have meant that I would have to live with a regular DVD home theater setup.

The initial models had significant issues revolving around bugs and missing features, which Sony never entirely fixed with its series of firmware upgrades.
The often cited reasons for the device's poor performance have to do with compatibility issues between the Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Electronics divisions, who were first-time partners in the development and production of the PSX, but no formal reason for the ceasing of production was announced.
