PS1? or PSX? or what?

Postby Tommy » Fri May 06, 2005 2:23 pm

I don`t get it...

Back in 2003 all my friends were telling me about the new PSX coming out in stores. I`m like "ok....sounds cool."

So I run home to play FF7 for the 800th time and see a sticker on the box that says "PSX" that I never noticed.

Then I see everyone refering to the PS1 as PSX and PS2 as PSX2......

You guys refer to the PS1 as that two? What`s the "X"?

sometimes people say PSX when they talk about PlayStations(I don't...). but I thought the PSX was that multimedia unit thingy they made that didn't sell well in Japan...

I've never heard of anyone calling it PSX2 before...o_o

It's a common reference, where x is an ungiven number. Like the x86 chipsets, or Windows 9x.
Take it like you gave it; what else matters in the end? To be honest, it's all a one-shot test; that leaves plenty of places to go wrong, but how will you ever know? There's a pointer, I will admit. Turn it on, listen to it, feel it burn.

While not far off topic, what does Windows XP stand for?

Very good question. Being an RPer, I tend to think eXperience Points, but that's just me.

Without the joke, I believe people were saying it stood for eXPerience, as in, the Windows eXPerience.

Which is the BSoD.

I think Windows "XP" stood for "eXtra Pretty."


(At least that makes since, since it doesn't appear to have changed too much otherwise - rimshot).
