Sony to ship new PSX all-in-one game console for US$ 750
A while back we already reported about Sony's upcoming PSX all-in-one game console (featuring a PS2 game player with a built-in satellite TV tuner, a DVD recorder and a hard disk drive recorder) hitting the stores in Japan. Today, thanks to GristyMcFisty, we can read that the cheapest version of the new device will cost around US$ 750 in the U.S:
Two models will ship later this year in Japan, one with a 160GB hard drive, the other with 250GB of hard disk storage - the latter enough to hold 13 and a half days' worth of TV programming, and both larger than the 120GB capacity originally planned for the machine. As yet Sony has not said which of these will be offered to overseas markets - or when.
The Japanese models - dubbed the DESR-5000 and DESR-7000, respectively - will be priced at a US equivalent of $ 750 and $ 907. In addition to TiVO-style features, the machines contain PlayStation 2, which also provides PlayStation 1 compatibility.
Programmes recorded on the hard drive can be transferred to DVD using the machines' built in DVD-R/RW drive. A DVD+RW version will be coming further down the line, Sony said. Current machines also provide a Memory Stick slot and a USB port for peripherals.
TRADUCCION
----------------------
Las nuevas estaciones multimedia (por llamarlas de algun modo) que reemplazarán el video domestico y la consola Playstation/Playstation 2, contarán con la función de grabar DVD-R/W, no siendo asi para el +R/W en sus versiones iniciales. Los monstruos de Sony saldrán al mercado nipón con capacidades de 160Gb y 250Gb de disco duro, por precios de entre $700 y $900, grabarán vídeo en MPEG2, serán 100% compatibles con PS1 y PS2, tendrán USB 1.0 (y pq no 2.0?), memory stick y funciones básicas de HDD+DVD (grabación de alta definición). Como siempre, estamos a la cola de ver estos bichos pronto y a un precio tan asequible como el del mercado nipón...
