They mention that it's a great blast from the past, it' s addictive, and it' is an all-time classic to play original, well-known games such as Tomb Raider.

Some mention that it is very good value and worth it for the case alone, while others say that the games in the console is not really worth the money unless you know how to mod, the item itself feels flimsy and cheap, and it was a wasted opportunity by Sony.

A nice thought for anyone who dreads carrying a heavy brick from room to room, or even over to a friend's house.

As an added bonus, the PlayStation will even play your favourite music CDs (accompanied by a selection of cool graphics). The only thing about the PSone is that it has no link cable port and can sometimes run hotter given its small size, but other than that I consider it a good model. If you look at North American and European sales, they don't move up at all after Christmas 2004, so this "4D" batch seems to be the last batch made for that holiday season. I'm a 90's guy; a lover of the PSone console; and I've written a lot of reviews for PSone games; yet I've never written a review for the actual console itself. Battle Arena Toshinden, Cool Boarders 2, Destruction Derby, Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto, Intelligent Qube, Jumping Flash!However, others say that the software just lacks quality, the control cables are too short, and it's way too small to receive the PlayStation disc. However in later years Sony released another controller, with the same look, but a longer lead, the SCPH – 1010, this had a lead of roughly two meters in length. I will mention though, that when my friend Choochie first used it, he didn't quite close the door, and his left foot has been possessed by what we think is actually Satan himself. I trashed my September 1994 PS1 in 2003 and I highly doubt, unless sealed, and you're not guaranteed to know if it's for sure from 1994 because it's sealed, any working Japanese PS1s from 1994 even exist. Some November 1995 models (particularly late in the month) have the PU-8 board, but it's a 50/50 chance because the BIOS for the PU-8 board is dated 1995-12-04.

I'm not a hardcore gamer (I have a PC that's capable of playing most games on high if not ultra settings, but it's used mostly for media editing and occasionally brutal doom).

Why did you pick a Sony console - at that point an unknown quantity in gaming - over the Sega Saturn?

This model I'd say only appeals to the nostalgic, like if you have a fascination with any dates between September 1994 to May 1997. I'll assume the decision to include games like Persona Revelations, Wild Arms, Intelligent Qube, and Mr Driller was down to some behind-the-scenes difficulties (titles like Crash, Spyro, Tomb Raider and others would have been more warmly received looking at what people are saying online). Additionally, the PlayStation now comes packed with Sony's impressive dual shock controller, which allows players to feel every punch, kick and rumble during gameplay.

You can also insert a PlayStation mouse and play certain mouse games like Broken Sword and SimCity 2000.Some titles came in standard double cd cases like the Sega Mega CD games, this makes replacements easier and cheaper. To add my game opinions now; metal gear, jumping flash and tekken 3 are my favourite so far ;)Have a classic time!
