The PSX Is The Craziest PS2 Ever Made

In 2003 Sony decided to create the ultimate media box for the living room called the PSX. In it they packed a full PS2, digital recorded and DVD burner as a do everything box. Unfortunately it didn't work out and only lasted on the market for a year before being discontinued. Today I wanted to take a look at the system and see what happened.

When you said this box, I thought that was literally the box and the PSX was inside

[moistydoooood]

it’s absolutely mind boggling that there was the crossbar UI IN 2003!!! for me personally that was crazy.

[hexywesky]

I love that it’s loud. Can’t have a proper Sony gaming experience without being afraid your console is going to launch itself into the stratosphere right at the most important and difficult part of your game

"Japan gets all the cool looking games" that sums up the entire video

I can’t believe the PlayStation 10 is already here.

I purchased one of the first DVD players in the US, back in 1997. That had a similar price to the PSX when it released. So yeah, the cost of the machine was actually not bad. It was a DVD-RW, DVR, and PS2 combo, pretty awesome if you ask me. I also built my first PC during 1997 as well. It was a great year.

Wait a minute? That thing was real!?!? And here we thought that kid with the magazine during 7th grade was making up stuff.

complains how hard it is to access the rear cables for 10 mins, next scene slides out flap conveniently built for accessing rear cables

Heavy metal plate for premium feel. "Let's put a small fan and crappy heatsink."

[EposVox]

That heat sink... my gosh. What the hell?

[SpanishVanguardia]

If this thing was 700, that might explain why they felt comfortable with 600 on PS3...

[sk--]

This thing deserves to be in astros playroom

[rumotu]

And psp. The media bar was also there, not only Bravia TV and ps3

[PLK]

Ps5: futuristic gamery design
Ps10: ay yo this a ps2 with a handicapped heatsink from the early 2000's

[FeeLtheHertZ]

You know what's funny, the PS5 has a very similar color scheme....

[WednesdayMan]

People who call the PS1 the PSX: *Confused screaming*
Me who told them to call it the PS1 because this exists: "They called me a madman."

[chackokhan]

Would love to see a Part 2 where you replace or upgrade the laser, heat sink, fan and such.

Also wonder if the DVD reading laser is the same as the PS2’s. Or perhaps one of the more premium Sony DVD players at that time.

[Luisitoo]

I have one of these...Plays backups of PS1 and PS2 games (any region) as well with a FreeMcboot....Also translated the XMBC to English...Theres a lot you can do with this system and its great. Truly was the inspiration to a PS3

[quentinclod]

Anybody else thought at the beginning that it was still in packaging and your mind is blown that it’s the actual console?

[rustygates]

I remember being so damn obsessed with this PSX back in the day. It was an enigma, something I could never get my hands on.
