The PSX is not Sonys nex-gen console, it is an upgreaded PS2, like how they upgreaded the PS1. It has a hard drive, records T.V. programs, downloads music, stores digital photos and home movie collections (whatever that means) but only plays PS1&2 games, not PS3 games, (when they come out). Also it is due out at the end of the year.
Got this from the Game mag

Oh, right. Bit predictable though, isn't it? I mean, with the name PS3 as Sony's nex-gen console then everyone everyone can guess correctly what thier next-next-gen console will be. "Hmm, let me guess, the PS4."

they'll probably end up calling it the PSX2 just to confuse us. I still remember whe the "PSX" was the original Playstation. Sony take some sick pleasure in confusing us.

Do we know what the announcement is yet? Yes. Sega have bought out not only Nintendo and Sony, but the massive computer giant Microsoft too. Global domination will take place on Thursday. Tea and cakes after. Lol. I can't wait to find out the announcement either. --Ray

No spoilers about it anywhere, even though I know it's not released until tomorrow. The BBC News website has a report on E3 but nothing at all on Sega.

Haven't seen anything Sega-related yet. There's an avalanche of PSP (Playstation Portable) games announced, as well as Nintendo unveiling the two-screen Nintendo DS. Final Fantasy VII is getting a prequel for mobile phones, among other things. More soon.

Ah yes, the DS. I read about that in an issue of NOM. Now that I see it for myself I think the DS will outsell the PSP by miles. What I also heard was that the DS ain't the GBA2 though. I'm not sure wether to get the DS or GBA2 though. I think I'll just try to find out more about them and decide which one to get when they come out.

I disagree that the Nintendo DS will do better than the PSP. The amount of games announced for the PSP include Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Ridge Racer, Wipeout, Dynasty Warriors, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Medievil, Ape Escape, Spider-Man, NBA Street, NFL Street, Need for Speed Underground, Tiger Woods PGA golf and FIFA titles. And that's just at E3. Sony obviously have masses of development support for this, loads of games in the pipeline, plus...well, it looks better. I think this is going to be the portable that really will appeal to a mass market. Sony are going to use their marketing ability, company image, established fan base and overwhelming development support to beat Nintendo at their own game. Of course, price is going to be the deciding factor here, I think...

Er, what does it really matter what the thing looks like? I have zero interest in psp. DS has the 2 screens, touchscreen, inbuilt mic, multiplayer wi fi linkup anywhere in the world, plus bluetooth, and (most importantly) the tons of third party supporters seem genuinely excited at the possibilities it could offer. new 3d metroid for DS! yay!! plus mario 64's running on it ^_^ This is the first hardware launch I've been excited about since Dreamcast! (plus the psp is shiny polished plastic- when your hands get sweaty from too much playing, it's be horrid and slippy )

those both look top-notch... alothough one small problem with each...
... they're not SEGA!! ;D *shot*
however, this should give the handhelds a good kick up the arse that they need. PROPER competition for Nintendo, and the death of the GameBoy?
SEGA will have to do announce something spectacular to top these

This is unproven:
Sega may be dead, the announcment being that they are burning.

Don't worry, thats what I was like when I saw Zelda and all the DS goodness ^_^ btw, Mario Kart's running on it, as is Animal Crossing. Crystal Chronicles and Viewtiful Joe are also in the pipeline. Hopefully Nintendo'll have the sense to do a new Smash Bros. for it... fingers crossed. Anyways, Sega have made their big announcement, they're publishing a Matrix MMORPG (Huge Online game with tons of people playing at once if you didn't know...). This seems to be for PC. Personally I'm a little dissapointed, but Nintendo's conference made up for it for me (The matrix game is nothing to do with the awful 'Enter the Matrix' thank god.....) I don't know why them publishing a game was supposed to be such huge news, they aren't even making it Anyways.....
