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.

What no gigabit ethernet card? Maybe I wanna send my tv programs over to my PC to edit them....
Or perhaps get a video capture card and record it directly to your PC. Plus it won't cost you 750.

It's a bug, sorry about that. The dollar-sign is delete when it's followed by a number or a letter. When you add a dollar sign followed by a space it does work. $ $ $ see ;)
