Sony shows off hybrid PlayStation The console bundles gaming and entertainment Sony is to start selling its revamped PlayStation console, the PSX, in Japan later this year. The machine will be relatively expensive, costing 79,800 yen (£429), but Sony said it hoped to attract those looking for a good quality DVD player. The PSX is being touted as a do-it-all games console that combines a 160Gb hard disk, DVD recorder and TV tuner into one box. The machine is thought unlikely to reach the US or Europe before 2004. The PSX is seen as a "hybrid" device that the electronics company hopes will appeal to serious game players, but also fans of its other products. It has gaming at its heart with a PlayStation 2, but is also an entertainment system with a satellite TV tuner. It can record more than 200 hours of TV, play DVDs, as well as digitally record and play music, all bundled in a shiny silver box.
it's another one of these 'all-in-one' entertainment jobbies... it's meant to be crackin... and there's the PSP (PlayStation Portable)coming out soon to rival the GBA, and it's meant to blow everything else out of the water...
all u need is a new laser... about £40. easy to fit. if u'r confident about opening your station. did the same with mine.
Alternativley, there's a shop in sunderland that will supply and fit for £50. Game On on Hylton road i think. OR there's a little stall in the 'In-Shops' in Wallsend that used to do repairs also. walked past it when i was doin mi shopping on saturday.
well sunderland is a bit far for me and it smells that place in wallsend could be worth checking out cheers mate
failing that, www.playstationchips.co.uk will pick it up and repair it then send it back. they're based in south shield. failing even that - i'll fit it!
you've got 6 games - i've got 200. there's bound to be a few stinkers. compared to the bizarre jap efforts for the GC? aaiiieee-spikey-ball-with-purple-eyes-do-karate-move-AARRGGHH POWER-UP!-yahtzee!-combo combo-long-intro-boringcut-scences-pose-with-big-sword.....what the fook are those games about, eh?
It's about eight actually There about fun melad, fun.:spangled: quality gamesmanship n all that. There not all kiddie crap mind and when there good, there real good brother! Besides, how many times have you got yet another big batch of games, stuck em on, played them once (if that), pondered to oneself for a while, scratched yer balls rigorously whilst yawning, then burped and farted at the same time, then never played them again!
you forget, i can't burp. admittedly - 90% of mi games i've played no longer than 3 mins. but thats not the point. and i've broken my addiction recently if u haven't noticed - i've hardly bought any. waiting for the new medal of honor and syphon filter 4. so neeer.
