Sony forced to clip PSX's wings
BBC NEWS | Technology | Sony forced to clip PSX's wings:
"Sony's revamped PlayStation console, the PSX, has been stripped of some features so it can be rushed onto shop shelves in Japan in time for Christmas.
The entertainment system, on sale in Japan from 13 December, is a PS2, hard disk drive, DVD recorder and TV tuner.
But its recording speed has been cut and some audio and picture formats will not be supported, like MP3. "
Sony seemed to have dropped the idea of a broadband socket too. Seems there'll be another network adapter on the way soon.
