Sony Puts $719 Tag on PSX Game/Entertainment System

**Doctor Feelgood**

Sony Corp said on Tuesday it would launch the "PSX" -- an entertainment system boasting a satellite TV tuner and DVD recorder plus its PlayStation 2 game player -- in Japan later this year at a minimum price of 79,800 yen ($719).

It hopes the all-in-one entertainment system, which also has a hard disk drive (HDD) recorder, will boost its electronics division, whose aging product line-up and high costs were a big factor behind a net loss of almost $1 billion in the January-March quarter.

They often release items in Japan to "TEST" the waters, so to speak. But heck, add some speakers and an HDTV and what more do you need?
