The new models DESR-5100 and DESR-7100 offer improved user interface and the ability to add 'DVD style' menus for content copied from the unit's HD to a DVD recordable. Also, the device now features an analog satellite TV tuner and technology to improve reception quality of the terrestrial transmission tuner. According to Sony, a software update will be released on July 15th, in order to bring the original models up-to-date.
The new PSXs will ship in the standard white styling, but the 5100 will also be made available in a silver finish for a limited period, Sony said. Japanese punters should expect to pay around ¥74,000 ($676/£369) for the 160GB model or ¥95,000 ($868/£474) for the 250GB 7100.
