Xbox 180

Yes, but internal Sony documents from the Nintendo/Sony era abbreviate it to the PSX, even back when the system was called the "Play Station". So that one belongs to sony.

I just checked, Sony owns the trademark on "PSX" in regards to the PlayStation 1. So if you don't like the abbreviation, blame them.

I don't understand your question. Most of the content is still there and accessed like it always was, by entering the DLC section of the ingame menu of whatever Xbox game you own that had any, or by placing in a Xbox Live Arcade disc if you want access to the original XBLA.

There's no need for it to be on Xbox 360's marketplace, and none of it is there. It's done the same way when playing a Xbox game in backwards compatibility mode on the 360, I've downloaded stuff for several games in recent months like Crimson Sky, PGR2, Pirates, and a few other titles. Only exception might've been Halo 2's final map pack, I seem to remember that could be purchased using MS Points so they might've temporarily made it available on marketplace for 360 owners who didn't want to use a CC.

Nope, I remember it well. The final map pack had to be bought through the Halo 2 DLC menu, and you had to pay with a Credit Card like all other OG Xbox DLC. Created a lot of problems for Microsoft, too.

And now it's free, so it's all a moot point.

You know, it's strange... It's hard to setup PartnerNet (microsoft's development version of Live) to actually accept money. While it worked fine in testing, in production the two systems didn't play well with each other. Apparently the 360 Live servers can't authenticate DLC for the Xbox1 correctly...

But later Sony actually made a system called the PSX: a PS2, tivo-like recording all in one device with different hard drive sizes. The people still calling the Playstation the PSX apparently missed this Japan-only release.

PSX = Sony PlayStation
PSX-DVR = Sony PlayStation 2 DVR/Tivo/Recording Thingy With A Big HDD

That's my terminology.

I'm thinking it was kind of created by everybody, it was kind of universal at the time. I wouldn't be surprised if someone just made a typo, typed PSX by accident and it just caught on since it just seemed to fit. Not that it really matters anyway, I've called it PSX 10 years ago and I still do to this day.
