PSX (ピーエスエックス, Pīesuekkusu?) is the name of a Sony media center, digital video recorder, and DVD recorder based on the PlayStation 2 video game console. Since it was designed to be a general-function audiovisual device, it was marketed by the main Sony Corporation (whereas Sony Computer Entertainment markets the corporation's specific game-related hardware). It was released in Japan on December 13, 2003. There were plans to release it in other territories in 2004, but in 2005 these plans were postponed indefinitely due to low sales. The PSX is also another name for the Playstation and PSX2 was another name for Playstation 2.
