Sony said it had reduced some original specifications for its all-in-one PSX console, an entertainment system that includes a hard disk drive (HDD) and DVD recorder plus a PlayStation 2 game machine.
Sony reduced the PSX's dubbing speed from its hard disk drive onto a DVD to 12 times normal speed from 24 times. It will not record or play DVDs in the DVD+RW format, as in the original plan. But it will play and record in DVD-R or DVD-RW formats, the company said.
The PSX also will not play CDs in the CD-R format, as original planned, and there will be no video format support for certain Sony digital cameras. The original specifications were announced on October 7 but Sony had said then they could be changed. The missing functions can be replaced from downloads via the Internet in the future, the company said
The entertainment system will go on sale on December 13 in Japan. A PSX with a 160-gigabyte HDD with up to 204 hours of television recording time will sell for about $730.
