Any significant differences in the PSX vs the PS1?

I almost always see, read, (and use) the 2 names synonymously.

Then I also got a Sony PSX.

This is basically a rare PS2 with a built in DVR and Hard drive.
It was really expensive when it was released as a Japan Exclusive.

Yeah - he's talking about a JP-exclusive, though...are there any differences between PSX & PS1 concerning the US releases?

Nope, the PSX is is just an unofficial term folks started using to refer to the PS1, for some reason. I guess you could say that PSX refers to original model PS1s and PSone/PS1 refers to the remodel. But I always thought the PSX term was a stupid abbreviation.

Man I knew the Saturn was more popular in Japan than it was here, but that's an impressive library compared to our 270 or w/e... ;)

Yeah I can understand the Confusion about this system, Before I got into Japanese consoles I used to call the 1st model Playstation a PSX. and the 2nd model a PS1.
But Once I found out there was a Console called the PSX released only in Japan and it was in fact a fancy PS2/DVR and has really not much to do with the PS1, I only refer to the classic Playstation as PS1 (model 1 & 2) or if in a forum call them PS1 and PSone.
Most people in America never even heard of the Japan PSX so when someone talks about PSX in the US they are usually talking about an original PS1.

On a side note, I have to say the PSX is a cool looking system, it has cool light effects when its playing. All though it weighs a ton and the controller ports are in the back and kinda a pain to get to. It only plays Japanese PS2/PS1 games, and atm I only own 1 PS2[JP] game.

"Happy game hunting!!!"

I don't know about "unofficial". PSX was the term used back them to shorten the name of the original Playstation. It was used in all the gaming magazines and websites at the time. Heck, there was even a "PSX" Magazine dedicated to Playstation gaming only.

It's "PS1" that came into common usage later on, in order to differentiate between the PS1 and the PS2.

I'm not sure, but I know the Official U.S. Playstation Magazine did. And it was pretty commonly used back then.
