TOKYO--In preparation for the holiday season, Sony will release two new models of the PSX in Japan. The company today announced the PSX DESR-5500 (160GB HDD edition) and DESR-7500 (250GB HDD edition) are slated for release in the beginning of December. This is the third incarnation of the multi-function PS2 and DVD-HDD recorder that has been released since the machine's debut last year.

Sony's announcement of the new PSX comes only days after it dropped the current model's prices down to 44,800 yen ($409) and 59,800 yen ($545) for the 160GB and 250GB HDD editions, respectively. The first generation model of the PSX has already gone out of production.

The new PSX model focuses even more on TV recording and media playback functions rather than its PS2 capabilities. It is uncertain whether Sony will include support for the PlayStation BB on the new PSX, meaning the machine might not be able to play online games or view online content. The new model, however, will still have an Ethernet port.
