magikal Posted July 26, 2002 You have to go back to pre-launch days in which it was a working abbreviation used by Sony themselves afaik. 0 Share this post Link to post
CyRaptor Posted July 26, 2002 Yep, It was called the Play Station X when it was in development, and the abbreviation stuck even though they dropped the "X" well before its release. 0 Share this post Link to post
Searcher Posted July 26, 2002 Here is another guess: Play Station X., as in Generation X, as in New. 0 Share this post Link to post
Psyonisis Posted July 26, 2002 When the Playstation was first in development, they used the abbreviation/codeword PSX that represented Play Station Xperimental. I read this in Electronics Gaming Monthly a while ago... 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted July 26, 2002 X stands for "Piece of Crap", just like in Windows XP. 0 Share this post Link to post
spank Posted July 26, 2002 As well as X11, X Windows, XFree86 or Linux, but not X as in XXX. 0 Share this post Link to post

Amaster Posted July 28, 2002 I still havent played GTA3. So far anything I've played on PS2 has been dissapointing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted July 28, 2002 GTA 3 is good...but I have it on computer, no reason to pay $200 dollars for a PS2 so I can play one game 0 Share this post Link to post

Sadly, I have to pay about $200 for a video card that runs it smoothly. But oh well, its fine how it is now, especialy with the speed cheat. 0 Share this post Link to post
