Downsized Sony PSX meets the Japanese market

Written by Lasse Penttinen @ 17 Dec 2003 11:09 User comments (3)

Sony Corporation was forced to drop out some of the features that were in the original PSX specs in order to meet the pre-Christmas delivery date in Japan. Features missing include support MP3 , DVD+RW, CD-R playback and the support for certain image file types.

Still Sony PSX is ahead of its competitors and reasonably priced for such a feature rich package. The 250GB hard drive model is sold in Japan for approx Â758 and the cheaper 160GB model for Â606.
