[edit] Why isn't it merged?

Why isn't this article merged with PlayStation? --Boco XLVII 08:14, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Because PSX is a complete system with large interesting resources.
Not to mention the PSX is actually based on the PlayStation 2, rather than its predecessor.(Myscrnnm 18:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] PS2 Games

I would say that the page doesn't make clear that it plays PS2 games. It says it plays PS1 games, and PS2 games compatible with the HDD, but it doesn't clearly say just PS2 games. --DK 21:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

The whole section about Internet seems to be incorrect - as far as I can see it can only use the Internet to download software upgrades, or access servers for online games. There is no web browser, no email, etc. --Evan 14:41, 6 April 2006 (Japan time)

[edit] Origins of the PSX nickname

Is there a reliable definitive source for the origins of the PSX nickname? I've heard the SNES+Sony Playstation-Experimental story before, but it sounds like rumor and original research. --Akadewboy 03:48, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

The one regarding the Play Station Experimental was back from the days of the SNES, when Nintendo wanted Sony to develop a CD playing device as an add-on to the SNES. This later became the PlayStation when Nintendo screwed Sony over. However, the REAL PSX gets its name from the PlayStation.(Myscrnnm 18:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Picture needed of system

I think there needs to be a picture of the actual system, not just the interface. Is there one available to be posted? (cfpresley143.158.254.228 15:10, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I found one, but I don't know how to upload it myself. The PSX picture has the "creamy white" (or whatever) controller, the system itself, and a "creamy white" PS2 remote. (rct2guy (talk) 01:12, 30 November 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sonypsx.jpg

Image:Sonypsx.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Controller

Anyone know the SCPH model number of the controller or where I could buy one? 24.36.5.172 (talk) 20:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
