Sony, the world's biggest consumer electronics maker, said on Friday that it would unveil its all-in-one PSX game device to the public this week.
The PSX, which packs a television tuner, a DVD recorder, a hard-disk drive and the PlayStation 2 game player into a single white box, will be unveiled at the CEATEC (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) Japan 2003 industry show in Makuhari, near Tokyo, on Tuesday, Sony said in a statement.
Sony plans to launch the machine in Japan before the end of this year and in Europe and the United States early next year. A representative for Sony said on Friday that the exact launch timetable and pricing haven't yet been decided.
Some analysts have expressed concern that the PSX could eat into demand for other Sony products at a time when the company is suffering from sluggish sales of its Vaio PCs and of its home electronics goods.
