On Gaming Age last night, all we got was some story called "Sony announces PSX" and turned out to be a very engrish article. We were laughing our asses off because we couldn't understand it at all. Now I see this and I think it's more of a joke. Gekko's nailed it. I think Xbox is the limit of functionality of what a game console should be. You could burn soundtracks, so they could be ingame. It had a DVD player, so you could watch DVDs like Shenmue that was packaged with Shenmue 2. It was useful in that respect. Whereas PS2 only had the DVD playback, next gen I think they're going overboard with TV functionality or whatever. Now they announce this, with the Playstation brand branded on it. What the hell is wrong with them. I think they're losing their guns.

I feel the same way about functionality about PSP. If I want to watch movies, I'll watch them on a laptop, not hunched over in fetal position for 2 hours in some subway.
