Sony calls it quits for PSone

You mean it wasn't dead? :)

R.I.P. It was good and taught us a lot.

It would be cool if they released a limited Die Cast version for the last run! Or did something cool. Does anyone know if they intend to bring the pstwo out with a screen like they did the psone?

I think people were still buying PS1, because they thought it was PS2. To a parent, it's looks like the same thing, and cheaper. lol!

Hmm, I thought they'd stopped shipping the thing? It was a very nice system, got me through so many years.. god bless them haha. I tell you, some of the games released, you'll never get anymore like them. Broken sword.. ah those were the days :P -Mike

It's about time. :)

So long PSONE served us well.

Jumping Flash2 was my all time fave!!

Well it is about time *L*

It was an awsome console. I played so many good games on it, like Parasite EVE and Final Fantasy VII. Good times figuring out the Gameshark codes for various games. It will be missed.

Doesn't the PS3 play PS2 and PSX games too? So psx won't be gone then?

damn, I didn't even know they were still making new PS1s. R.I.P. you old school playstation...

Farewell ps1. this makes me remember the first time i ever played final fantasy 7 , at the time there was nothing like it, i really hate to see it go out like this.

What's everyone crying about? Doesn't the PS3 play PSX and PS2 games too?

It's a sentimental thing. Although I never had a PSone I'm happy to be living vicariously through my PS2 and really cheap PS1 games that I can find. It's good to remember the past. R.I.P. PSone. Even though you're gone, your memory and your games will continue forward.

Yes, PS³ will be backwards compatible w/both PS² & PSx games. PSOne was only for playing PSx games. I was unaware they still produced PSOne systems, after Sony started making the slimline PS² systems.

Yes, the PSX was a dream machine. It came out in 1995, when people were still playing SNES games like chrono trigger, and it blew the compitition away. I felt like I was in heaven when I bought my in 1997. I wished I would have bought mine earlier when the PSX first came out. The PSX will always be one of my favorite system.

look at it dis way, it paved the way for others like it. the Psone lead and never followed. farewell :)

Isn't psx and psone same thing?

Not quite sure why they are still making them - must still be selling I suppose...

PS1 was and still is a great console and was a great starting point for a lot of people. Good Stuff PS1.

...and in DVD Shrink forum! http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/324214 Byee, doris....!

The PSX was the very first console that modified. It was so easy back then too. All you needed was a little super glue, and Bam! Playing burned games. :::sigh::: They don't make them like they used to.

rihgt682, technically no although the lineage is not exactly clear. Playstation (Original Version)=(psx) Playstation (Mini Version)= (ps1) and just to cloud the issue....... www.jp.sonystyle.com/Psx ...theres that!

That was a great times with PS1.....Just like Spectrum long time ago. Some things hard to forget.

Farewell lol, i can still remember playing FF7..<sigh> nostalgic moment...lol. It did pave the way didnt it, its a mirical my one still works after all thats its gone thru.

I remember renting that game, and not playing it much (FF7) I got FF8 and completed that instead, now with the new FF7 movies/games related I feel I should played it earlier..! -Mike

Well, i played FFVII a few times, probably bout 3 times the first year, and atleast once a year for bout 6 years later :D ahhhh definately good times :) my son now "owns" my psx :) so it will serve him well it has done me, although now he has his xbox and obviously PS2, he still plays the old girl and enjoys hit, and he's 5, so if its still appealing t that generation it is obviously almost timeless as far as gamin goes! Good bye from all of us, we'll still keep ya under the t.v ;)

omg i remember the crash bandicoots and spyro =/

Its better to be able to say 'about time' rather than, 'man I just bought the thing'

grand turismo was my all time fav on the ps1

*tips the hat to the PS1 unit* it was my very first unit and was passed on to other members of the family for others to enjoy, of course we are all in the keen of the new units coming about, but it sure made a great console for youngies that just are starting on the game world. Farewell to an awesome awesome game console.

Hehe i got out my old PS1 unit which sadly didnt work. I was prepared to give it one last try by inserting metal gear solid (my fav PS1 game) and BINGO!! IT WORKS! Theres life in the old boy yet ;) Im really happy because my PS2 wont play any of my old PS1 games! Jin666

It's like so much cooler to pull out the psx from the closet blow of the dust and play, rather than using the ps2 to play psx games. So long dear friend and companion (agian). You will be missed but your memory lives on in your fans n'er to be forgotten
