Sony updates the PSX product line

The new models DESR-5100 and DESR-7100 offer improved user interface and the ability to add 'DVD style' menus for content copied from the unit's HD to a DVD recordable. Also, the device now features an analog satellite TV tuner and technology to improve reception quality of the terrestrial transmission tuner. According to Sony, a software update will be released on July 15th, in order to bring the original models up-to-date.

The new PSXs will ship in the standard white styling, but the 5100 will also be made available in a silver finish for a limited period, Sony said. Japanese punters should expect to pay around ¥74,000 ($676/£369) for the 160GB model or ¥95,000 ($868/£474) for the 250GB 7100.

The PSX is expected to ship in Europe by the end of the year.

  NO KIDDING! if people want an HDTV tuner, they'll buy one with their TV! if people want a DVD recorder, they'll buy one! We don't need an all-in-one media center here SONY! just a new playstation!!! is that too much to ask? I am a HUGE sony fan, but this new psx is quite disappointing.
