heres one for a grand. btw its built on ps2 hardware. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-PSX-Japan-DESR … dZViewItem

Yeah, that is SO OLD.  I would have gotten one for the features it has...   A PS2 with bells and whistles.

Today's Lesson:
The PSX was to come with a 160GB to 500GB hard drive to record television, movies, digital photos, or to play PlayStation 2 and PlayStation titles. The PSX can be linked with the portable PSP device to transfer videos and music. There is also the indication that the PSX could be linked with the P3, meaning that existing PSX owners will not be left out.  This could possibly mean that the base version of the PS3 would connect to the PSX to form the “home server” version of the PS3.  In 2005 these plans were postponed indefinitely due to low sales...

Features:
120 - 500GB Hard Disk (Model Specific).
DVD-R/-RW (8x/4x) and DVD+R/+RW (8x/4x), and added DVD+R dual-layer support.
Improved TV reception technology (7700).
10/100Mbit/s Ethernet connection.
Improved video, photo and music editing tools.
Record programs automatically, based on keywords entered by the user.
DJ-box feature- create custom music playlists based on the mood setting chosen by the user.
x-Pict Story- to create animated photo slide shows.

One controller port and what a place to put it...Sony don't half have the ability to put really stupid ideas into practice!

I don't know where you see ONE controller port, there are TWO, just like the PS2 has.  They are stacked, not side by side, LOOK AGAIN...

Ahh, thought that might have been a memory card slot.

Even so, it would be SLOTS, as there are TWO of those ports...

I don't see the memory slots on the unit, but the specs say they're there...

I always thought PSX is what people call PS1 now, turn out there really is a PSX lol

Looks like there's a door at the front to the right (you can just make out the lip that you pull) so it could possibly be there.

Oh, PSX is what the original PlayStation is called to distinguish it from it's newer and smaller version, the PS1. I guess they just wanted to use the name again or maybe they half-expected the PSX in this thread to sell poorly and only have it in Japan or something, but you were right to think that the original PlayStation got name PSX.

I always heard it getting called PlayStation or PSX.

No, just the original but only PSX when the smaller PSOne surfaced.

no i do not have the 1001 model. didn't know they existed like that.
and the psx does have a door that turns down for memory stick ps2 mem slots ect..
i wish i could get a PSX Imported.

and the loader thing thats a good question. i have no idea
and if their was a freeloader like for the gamecube we could find out.
dont even know if the freeloader will work for the Panasonic Q Gamecube.
