Sony to Launch 2 Successor Models to Psx in July
June 17, 2004 | Levent OZLER
Sony Corp. said Wednesday it will release two successor models to its PSX entertainment gadget on July 1, offering expanded recording functions.
The PSX combines functions of a digital versatile disc recorder with those of the company's blockbuster home video game console, PlayStation 2.
When Sony first launched the PSX in December 2003, the company made a surprise scaling back on its original specifications. It has since offered upgrading programs to make up for the reduced functions.
The successor models are fully equipped with up-to-date functions, as well as new functions such as additional recording capability.
Of the new models, the DESR-7100 with a 250-gigabyte hard disk drive is expected to sell for 95,000 yen, and the DESR-5100 with a 160-GB HDD is seen to sell for 74,000 yen.
Sony will also provide an upgrading program to existing PSX machines, the third of its kind, from July 15.
