This is a folder icon for the digital video recorder and home video game console "PSX" - which is the only product of the PlayStation family that is officially known by that name.

Thought I'd upload some more icons for anyone that doesn't have WinRAR!

The above icons in PNG format.

p.s. ...

Here's some info for anyone who doesn't know what the PSX is ...

The PSX was developed by Sony Computer Entertainment and was released in Japan on the 13th of December, 2003 and discontinued there in 2005.

It was designed to be a general-purpose consumer video device, so it was marketed by the main Sony Corporation instead of Sony Computer Entertainment, and does not carry the usual PlayStation branding.

It was the first device to use Sony's XrossMediaBar (XMB) graphical user interface, which was later used on the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, some Blu-ray Disc players, and 2008-era BRAVIA TVs.

Like standard PS2 consoles, the PSX can be laid horizontally or stood up vertically.

The PSX fully supports both PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software by its slot-loading DVD drive, as the onboard EE+GS chip is a unification of the PS2's Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer chips.

Online game compatibility was available using the broadband connection; Games that used the PS2 HDD (such as Final Fantasy XI) were supported as well.

Shortly before release, Sony omitted numerous features from the PSX, citing that it was necessary to launch by Christmas 2003 time.

Playback of CD-R and DVD+RW discs for example were dropped, as well as MP3 format audio, and instead DVD-RW discs and ATRAC format audio were retained upon release.

However, firmware updates (versions 1.10 and 1.20) added these features later on.

The PSX is compatible with all first-party PlayStation and PlayStation 2 controllers and memory cards, with the exception of the "PocketStation".

The main unit has two controller ports located on the back side and two memory card slots on the front side hidden behind a panel cover.

While the unit itself was sold without a game controller, a PSX-branded variant of the DualShock 2 analog controller was sold separately which features a 4-meter long cord (a bit longer than the standard versions of the controller).

Because of the different placement of controller ports and memory card slots (which are located above each other on standard PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles), the PSX is incompatible with all versions of the multitap, and no PSX-specific multitap was ever made to get around this issue.

Games that require the use of two or more USB ports are also incompatible with the PSX.
