PSX was a Sony digital video recorder with fully-integrated PlayStation and PlayStation 2 video game support. Since it was designed to be a general-function audio-visual device, it was marketed by the main Sony Corporation and was released only in Japan on December 13, 2003. It was the first Sony product to utilize the XrossMediaBar (XMB), UI that would later be found in the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and 2008-model Sony Bravia TVs.
The system was widely criticized due to its high price, and lack of customer interest led to poor sales. As a result, the PSX was never released outside Japan.

The PSX supports PlayStation and PlayStation 2 gaming using PlayStation 2-based hardware, with the PlayStation 2's hardware Emotion Engine, Graphics Synthesizer, and I/O processor.
