psx to psp video transfer
The path to every videogame success is often punctuated with the abandoned remains of less successful ventures. This time last year, Sony was determined to lever it's PS2 into an all-in-one lifestyle and entertainment hub (at least in Japan) by releasing the PSX. But a high price and missing software features (the initial firmware didn't support CD-R/RW, MP3) combined in its lacklustre retail performance.
New versions of the PSX have just been announced: the DESR-5700 (160GB HD) and DESR-7700 (250GB), both of which noe support DVD -/+ R/RW. But perhaps the most welcome feature is its ability to download recorded TV shows to the Memory Stick Duo port - in a PSP friendly MP4 format - good news for those PSP owners who are spending hours converting DVDs into MP4s rather tortusously for PSP playback.
Unfortunately, Sony have to release the PSX outside Japan... (yet)
