PSone and PSX ?

they are the same. psx = 1994, psone = 1999. they have the same functionality, and play the exact same games. the psone was 40% smaller however, and was later released with an accompanied lcd monitor, (for car or personal use).shrgnatlas

Like mike stated the PSX basicly a beefed up PS2 with more multimedia uses

However the PSX that you rever to is probably the original playstation.
The name PSX stook out from development.

So people ame the playsation(1) a PSX and there is a relative unknown device called the PSX.

Yep, your first picture there is of a PSone, the name given to the smaller redesign of the original Playstation.

The second picture is of an original Playstation, now referred to as a PS1.

The third picture is of the true PSX, which was a Sony entertainment/media center based on the PS2, but including a hard drive, digital video recorder, DVD recording, and other multimedia features.

Confusion comes from the fact that during development, the original console was referred to as the "PlayStation EXperimental", and therefore the PSX abbreviation stuck and has at times been used to refer to any PS1/PSone.

Well put. That third one there. I was actually going to buy one. it was an exorbitant amount of money, if I recall correctly. Even more than the 60GB PS3mike7677

Thanks! Same here, despite the crazy cost I was very intrigued with the PSX when I read about it, couldn't wait to see what they were like when they came stateside... which they never did, of course. I'd hoped that maybe more of the PSX features would end up resurfacing later in the PS3, but sadly most didn't. I guess all that plus Blu-Ray would have priced it out of any normal market, but it would have been cool to have a unified piece of gear that does all that, based on a Playstation core.
