The PSX is a Sony digital video recorder with a fully integrated PlayStation 2 home video game console. It was released in Japan on December 13, 2003, It was the first device to use Sony's XrossMediaBar (XMB) graphical user interface, which was later used on the PlayStation Portable,  PlayStation 3.

Goodness is that startup sound amazing

[hetside]

He plays PlayStation X when most of us could only dream about a half of it.

Looks more like the PS5 than the PS5 itself

[seifbelal]

It looks amazing, it is like if PlayStation, Xbox and Wii had a baby

[leredflame]

man these are so rare, most have a bricked hard drive unfortunately. Crazy enough its the first instance of the XMB

Wow how have I never heard of this. Brings back a bunch of old memories

[erickail]

am I the only one who didn't know these existed?

I saw a ton of these on a Japanese surplus store here in the Philippines back in 2010. I had no idea what they were. Now they are slowly becoming a collector's item. I couldve been rich of I bought a few of them! Smh

My dad still has his PSX lol! He was about to sell it at a garage sale and I asked him if I could buy it for $1k…. He gave it to me, but he didn’t want the money 🤦🏽‍♂️ lol

The build quality of that console is immaculate. If they were to release something like that today, the price would be over 1k. Does anyone know the retail value when it was on the market?

Edit: OK, I did some digging for anyone interested. The Playstation X had various retail prices depending on the model you chose. The least expensive being 45, 000 yen and the most expensive being 95, 000. 95, 000 yen calculates to 641.13 USD if it were to be sold in America. That doesn't factor in shipping and logistic costs that would undoubtedly raise that price tag a little. Regardless, 641.13, if you adjust for inflation to today's economy, would be worth 1, 051.43 USD in today's market. Isn't useless information fun?

be careful as with age the hard disks have been failing and if the HDD dies the console will brick

[popixel]

I wanted one of those so bad when they were showed off.

[suckmyball]

I’ve literally been looking for the startup sound for the psx for years. I finally got to hear what it sounds like!

[iangresswell]

I got to say bloody hell I never seen a game console like that before

[AFellowQuestionMark]

A miracle that this hard drive is still working. For some reason, the PSX doesn't take regular hard drives, so if that hard drive fails, then it's essentially permanently bricked.

[mrcoolz]

Saw these in Japan while I was in the military.. pretty bad ass.. I ended up buying a white Japanese ps2

[abhrajitpaul]

It still gets me how they released PS10 (X)
Before PS3 lol

[Spoder_Man]

Holy shit. Seeing the god of war chain of olympus UMD felt like nostalgia hit me right in the feels.

[Slipvayne]

Kids today are probably like wtf are the yellow white and red cables for 🤣
