Most of them actually overheat due to poor design

The cornball cliche trend has to be fully entrenched before the shitty movie's marketing muscle can work on the Beaviss and Butt-Heads of the day. Naturally they, being makers of totally crap movies, were behind the times.
From the Wiki: "This film was nominated for a Razzie Award for Most Flatulent Teen-Targeted Movie, but lost to Jackass: The Movie."

Of course the most Stewart-esque mother fucker on this site would spell it wrong.
Great. Now everytime he posts I'm gonna imagine Stewart saying it.

I owned one of these PSX units for awhile about a decade ago, I think I bought it from fellow member Jon.
It looked fucking awesome but was indeed pretty much useless. The worst thing about it was that all of the hookups including the controller ports were on the back hidden underneath this weird shelf that sticks off the back to make it look slick with no visible cords but it was a huge pain in the ass to access without moving the system. It also didn't do component out and instead used mini DVI or something else equally stupid.
Edit: watched the video, so it did do component but only through a specific Japanese D-sub connector lol. Oh yeah and the case had that same gloss finish that the Fat PS3s had just white, which means you can basically never touch it with anything except microfiber or else it scuffs like a bitch.
I didn't encounter any problems playing PS2 games on it but then again I didn't use it all that much during the short time I owned it.
Also I did hook cable to it and actually got a couple random channels to work.

If the HDD goes bad you can revive it with a regular PSX2 HDD but you will lose the DVR xcross gui, recording shizz and all.
It was always officially called PSX, in fact all playstations are referred to in official sony corporate documents as 'PSX' they just tack on a number to the end every 5-8 years or so. No lie, kinda a big wig at Sony for the last 10 years so excuse me @BillyJoelZeta but you are completely wrong on all accounts.

Lachie, you stupid fuck. That's not the correct type of "official" and neither is the fact that the people selling them & the games for them used it as a retail & commercial term . Do you even fucking know what "official" is?

who knew youtube channel shilling could bring in such a great thread.
I wasn't aware a PSX did not use the standard multi-out from PS1-PS3. Another reason NOT to use this dumb ass console.

That is sort of nuts but looking at pictures we see it has something better, normal home theater hookups. It has composite, Y/C, and D Video so it could use very common hookups (in Japan anyway) for any format the PS2 could produce. That’s, honestly, much better than a proprietary jack, especially if you would like to upgrade your cables.

Seriously the funniest response I’ve seen for weeks or even months, totally ownedAHEM:
I don't know why spergs get mad at people calling the PS1 the PSX. Yeah we know you read the PSX DVR wikipedia article, settle down.
Yeah, I had one. It was extremely heavy and expensive to ship. It weighs around 25-30 lbs. I think I paid $150 EMS.
What I like to tell people about it is that it's basically a slower loading PS2. The DVR thing was useless to me, at the time, only dial-up was available in my area. Looking back, it was a waste of money. A "rare for rare's sake" purchase, as I like to put it. I would put it in the same category as the Panasonic Q but, I liked that a little better.
Yeah, no component sucked. The DVI cable for it was like $150, too.

A D-terminal to D-terminal cable shouldn't cost that much...but its useless on almost all gear sold outside of Japan. The only thing I've ever owned that's compatible with it is the XRGB series of upscan converters. Really though, the thing was only sold in Japan and all Japanese TVs from that time, good ones, had D-terminal connectors. If you actually lived in Japan, which was the only teritory the PSX was sold in, you'd easily make use of it.

The PSX would never make it in Japan. Even if Sony followed the advice myself and others have given them.

HELLO I AM A TIME TRAVELLER FROM THE YEAR 2050. YOU ARE ALL WRONG BECAUSE THE ONLY CORRECT USE OF ‘PSX’ IS FOR THE PLAYSTATION 10. HAHAHA 2022 NOOBS.

That’s absolutely true of one “PSX” but absolutely not the other.
