It ain't out in England. The PSX is in the planning stages. Not the original PS.

yes indeed, you are right. there are also rumours that it can make movies???
anyway, when i said portable psone, i knew it was the psp, but didnt no if other people did. and i said psone because it is based round the design of the psone, innit?

Yeah, if you put musci in a UMD.
But you can also put video on a UMD.
So by your logic, it can actually play DVDs

Let's clarify...
PSX started out as an unofficial name for the original PlayStation machine. As we know, this later became the PSone.
PSP is the PlayStation Portable - the new hand-held machine that many people are raving about. This uses the UMD disc for games, music and various other media. It is NOT a portable PSone. It if much more powerful than the PSone, and not quite as powerful as the PS2. It will NOT play standard CDs or DVDs, but should be able to play music and video files with ease.
Sony are now releasing a machine officially called PSX, which is a new hybrid console/entertainment centre. It contains the PS2 hardware and will do everything the PS2 can do and more besides. It has a slot-loading DVD drive, and many additional high-spec audio and video connections that the standard PS2 does not have. It also includes a massive hard drive which will allow you to record TV broadcasts to hard disc (like TiVo or the Sky+ unit). You can also record these programs to DVD, as the machine has a built-in DVD recorder. See http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo /News/Press/200310/03-1007E/ for more information (remember to remove the space in that URL).

The PSX is going to play DVDs, though.
