But the company tried to design it as a "digital appliance of the next generation," and as more than just a game console, by infusing the elements of a PC and an audio-video appliance, said Ken Kutaragi, head of Sony Computer Entertainment."

Sony PSX

  „Sony's new entertainment console, the PSX , looks pretty sweet. I wonder why they still license TiVo and even Windows XP Media Center Edition with all of their GigaPocket technology in place.“

It will have a built-in TV tuner, Internet connection and be capable of connecting to external devices (via USB 2 and Memory Stick). The PSX will be released by Sony itself, not its games division (Sony Computer Entertainment), and should appeal to many people who don't pay much attention to games.“

The PSX will also be able to play videogames that run on Sony's popular PlayStation 2 console.Sony is betting that the PSX will be more than a DVD recorder that can play videogames. The company hopes the PSX will be the first in a series of consumer-electronics gadgets that use the brains and power of its game machines to do things now more commonly associated with personal computers or game consoles.“
