Playstation 2 set top box

[weta]

Sony has unveiled the PSX, a Playstation 2 console and home entertainment centre combined into one neat package.
The PSX comes equipped with a DVD recorder, a TV tuner, a 120 GB hard drive and an Ethernet adaptor for high-speed
internet access.

The first machines will go on sale in Japan later this year, with European and US versions following in 2004.

Full specs when I learn Japanese. :D

what good is a tv tuner in it when your gonna use it in conjunction with a TV?

If you use a computer monitor or other visual display without TV tuner.

The TV tuner should also allow users to record a television program on the hard drive, or a DVD using the on-board DVD recorder.

The PS2 isn't bad at all. I like the design, and how you can put it vertical and horizontal.

The blue LEDs are very popular now. One more thing, where do the controllers plug in?? :confused:
