Rating:  - PS One is TIGHT!
I Just got my First Playstation today and I've only played on it (with GT2) for 3 hours and I love it. Ive owned a N64, an original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and an SNES and this already blows them out of the water. The Graphics are impressive for a small 32-Bit system and the case is small and convienient. The Vibration feature adds alot of life to the games and the system runs smooth and quiet, and is NOT made of cheap parts. The feel of the equipment is high tech and durable. I Have seen my friends play PS2 and the graphics are nearly identical to PS One. Like alot of PS One owners, I could not (and I still cant afford a PS2). So If you can do without a DVD player, go ahead and get PS One. The bottom line is, get this system if you are not willing to splurge $300 on a PS2, and get it soon.
Rating: - Still The Best
A lot of reviewers complain about how the PSone overheats, has no ports for GameShark and is an outdated system. Personally I have not experienced any problems with overheating. As I am currently playing Final Fantasy IX I spend HOURS with the game and not once has the PSone overheated to an unsafe level; it barely heats up at all if you place it in a well-ventilated area. The controller still has the same feel as the original. The PSone, however, takes up considerably less room than the original. I live in a dorm where space is very limited and I have the PSone of top of my computer tower and between a filing cabinet. It fits well and looks great in the room.However, the games make the PSone stand out. While PS2 can play regular Playstation and PS2 games, it makes no sense to purchase the PS2 when the available games are less than excellent. With the PSone you can play all your classic Playstation games, which are very affordable as well. While you can buy a PS2 with a couple of games, you can purchase a PSone and build a sizable library of games for the system. The PSone is the best system out there. While the technology is outdated, the games are gems that have stood the test of the time. You can't beat the price, the size, and the sheer convenience of being able to take the PSone wherever you go.
Rating: - best system out there (I mean that)
All the people who write 1-star reviews NEVER played this system. They just write stuff to hopefully be one of the top 1000 reviewers...Now for the real review: I had a choice to make a year ago. Xbox? ps2? gcn? gba? dc? I had considered all of these. I decided to drop xbox and gcn becuase or their terrible game selection. I dropped dc when i heard it was discontinued. So that left gba or ps2. I also dropped gameboy advance because i had gameboy pocket, the original, and gbc. Right now they are deep inside my closet collecting dust. After much research, I finally came to a conclusion to ask for a ps2 for the holidays. I added up all necessary harware accesories and games to see how much they all cost. A console, memory card, controller, and 5 descent games costs around 600 dollars. I dont know about you, but after my parents spending 600 dollars i dont think they will be geting me new games that often. Looking even further, i decided to take a shot with the 7 year old ps1. I wasnt to thrilled with my choice. Now, im so glad i chose this. Instead of 600 dollars (which buys only 5 good ps2 games, and the console), I used 200 dollars to get a ps1, all accesories, and 12 amazing games. If you ask me, buy this cool machine. Wait 2 years until a ps2 drops, then buy a ps2. oh ya, ps2 is going to be popular for a while becuase ps3 is going to cost 500 dollars :) If your looking for some good ps1 games, check this list out. (its listed from my number one favorite, to my number 10 favorite) 1. Final Fantasy IX
2. Tony Hawk's pro skater 3 (4 is terrible)
3. Tekken 3
4. Final fantasy VII
5. Spyro-year of the dragon
6. Mat Hoffman's pro BMX
7. Gran Turismo 2
8. Resident evil 3
9. Metal Gear Solid
10. final Fantasy VIII ( lots of pacience needed )
