It's essentially an upgraded PS2 with added multimedia features, not the PS3.

I was looking at that robot that played the trumpet, which is hella phat by the way, and there is a slideshow which shows off a lot of new Sony products. Blue Laser DVD Burners, a 'Smart Card', new Cell-phones, etc, and I came across this picture and story: Sony, maker of the PlayStation 2 (news - web sites) video game console, said on Thursday a study of the online gaming habits showed that peak usage was between 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., a span that encompasses television's prime time. Sony displays the new game machine 'PSX DESR-7000', the next generation PlayStation, during the CEATEC JAPAN 2003 technology trade exhibition at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, east of Tokyo October 7, 2003. REUTERS/Issei Kato Anyone got any idea's of what this is? Is it the prototype for the new PS3, or a new version of an old PS? Anyone?

I seen that pic awhile ago not too many people wanted to buy it due to the price.It was like 3,000 dollars.
This is the bad thing about the new console's coming out some of us havent fully enjoyed our systems we have now.I bought my Xbox in 2001 a week after launch time.I wasnt really enjoying it then. I regretted buying due to the libary of games I dont care for Ubi-Soft and some of Tecmo games(Dead Or Alive).Im starting to enjoy it now with all the fighting games and action games coming out.I hope they put the next gen systems out in 2006 or 2007.

Yah I read about it somewhere. Pointless really.

Lets not use the PSX as an excuse to bad mouth the playstation 3.

Blade tsung you know better than that.

This time around when the x-box2 and the ps3 debut around the same time, there will be no excuse if and when the ps3 outsells the x box by more than 75% of the market.

Anyways, enough said.

looks like a vcr with a controller

Please don't turn this into a console war. We're talking about the PSX, and ONLY the PSX, clarifying it's difference from the PS3.

We're pretty much describing the impracticality of the PSX to most average gamers...

I thought that pic at the top of this thread was ps3??? In the Aug. '03 issue of the official u.s. ps mag it had an article on it n pics. So I thought that was ps3?? yes/no??

No, sorry to say. I thought the same thing, after all it does say it's the 'next gen console' but it's really just a suped up PS2.. :(

When did I do this? I have always loved my PS1 and PS2, and I have never had any problems with either.
