PSX will feature games abilities, hard drive video recorder, DVD burner...
It's not clear whether "PSX" is going to be the final name of the product, or whether it's a development codename - either way it's a little bit odd, since PSX was the project name behind the original PlayStation development, and persisted as an acronym for the console throughout its lifespan.
The new device will feature a TV tuner, hard disc drive and a DVD recorder alongside the games console functionality, making it into an "all in one" device for gaming, media recording and playback.
Details of the device are a bit thin on the ground at the moment, but it's expected that it will offer hard disc video recorder functions, similar to the TiVo and Sky Plus systems, and will feature a high speed internet port to allow downloads of music and possibly movies through Sony's media distribution systems, in Japan at least.
"We're looking at a life cycle of 10 years with the PlayStation 3. We're currently shifting from standard TVs to HDTVs," said Kutaragi. "But in the next couple of years, most flat-panel TVs will be full HD. We're releasing the PS3 with full HD features from the start so that consumers won't have to buy another version of the console in the future. For the same reason, we're using Blu-ray as the PS3's disc format. I'm not going to reveal its price today. I'm going to only say that it'll be expensive," he stated.
"a handheld device arriving at the end of next year" PSP2?

New details regarding the capabilities of PS3 have emerged and it seems that instead of playing with PS3 through a pad, you can use your PSP instead. The machine will use wireless controllers and the Memory Stick Duo cards - the same format used by PSP.
However, you will be able to use your PSP's WiFi capability to play movies and flick through all of the files and folders on your PS3 from the comfort of your sofa. And since the two machines will also share Memory Stick Duo cards, you will be able to transfer photos and films between the devices.
This will be particularly handy for watching TV on the go, as it seems Sony is planning a peripheral which will allow you to record TV programmes straight on to PS3's option hard disk and watch them later - either at home or on the move.
For those who don't have thousands to spend on new TVs and technology, the news that Sony expects most of its games to have an option to run on normal televisions is great.
While Xbox 360 is designed to need expensive High Definition TV, Sony wants most of its games to run at the still very hi-resolution 720p, while also allowing players to drop the resolution to use standard sets or progressive scan TVs.
At the same time, it has emerged that Sony plans to increase the amount of memory built into the machine, in an attempt to up the processing power and, at the same time, fend off some of Microsoft's attacks.
Further claims suggest that PS3 will include 2x or 4x speed Blu-Ray disk drives, dramatically cutting loading times, but also vastly increasing the cost of the machine.
As Sony doesn't comment on 'rumour or speculation', gamesradar.com is keeping an eye out for confirmation and will bring you all the latest soon.
PS3 is expected to launch in Japan in 2006

No offence to you but that's just plain Bullcrap. I don't want to explain why but I know why. Read between the lines. PS3 releases first in Japan. And then those dumb a$$ BBC guys are asking a Microsoft rep about all this. Because PS2 released in USA after few months from its release in Japan and almost a year later in Europe, so they are projecting it to be 2007. Whereas its not officially confirmed from Sony that when do they want to release PS3 in America and Europe but its officialy confirmed for Spring release in Japan. So any news about PS3, don't jump on it. Please thoughly search on it. There is lot of crap going on the net about the next gen consoles especially PS3 presumably affected by Microsoft with all their money behind it.
And for more detailed info and up to date news go and check www.ps3portal.com and www.ps3forums.com This forum may not be the right place with its limited userbase.
Hope that helps.

PS3 Under $400's in Japan?
- The PlayStation 3 is expected to cost between $300 and $400
- Sony will be releasing new portable media player devices that ?Will focus primarily on video and transferring user-selected content from digital video recorders and other devices using Sony Memory Sticks. PS3 will be bundled with a selection of preloaded films, TV programs and games?
Moreover - http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000220066600/
- Sony confirms PS3 will ship with in-built parental controls which protects minors from violent videogames rating "M" from games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas...etc... "It's necessary to verify whether or not youth crime and video games are connected." Namco also voiced concerns over the lack of convincing scientific evidence that videogames have a detrimental effect on the minds of children. Parents can change the console setting so that it requires a password to access mature content. Recent events in California, where Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law a controversial violent videogames bill.
