15 years ago today, the PlayStation 1 launched. I know, I know, "But the PS1 didn't launch until 1995!" Yeah, that's true, for the the Western world. The system that would become the progenitor of the most successful brand of consoles of all time launched December 3rd, 1994 in Japan.
So uh, yeah. Happy b-day PlayStation! Good news that Sony finally got their shit together with the PS3 and all.

Good news that Sony finally got their s*** together with the PS3 and all. *looks at the PS3 Slim, which still hasn't put Backwards Capability back in yet* Nope, not yet. But close, certainly. Nonetheless, happy birthday, PS1! You had a great run with some awesome games! |

I just finished a Chrono Cross run-through last night. (I've been trying to get all the characters at some point in time without using a walkthrough)
The only person i can't figure out how to get is Doc.
(and Draggy is the greatest dragon in the HISTORY of our sport!)
PS1 is still awesome.

Nonetheless, happy birthday, PS1! You had a great run with some awesome games! Dude, they are NEVER putting BC back in. The reason they took it out was because NO ONE WAS USING IT. Well ok, a few thousand or so people, but so little people were using it that Sony decided that they shouldn't waste resources on keeping it. I mean yeah, they said they found a way to emulate the PS2 again, but come on of, if the God of War Collection is successful, do you honestly think they'll just let us play PS2 games on our PS3s again? Hell no, they'll probably either rerelease them on Blu-ray or as downloadable games. |

Hell no, they'll probably either rerelease them on Blu-ray or as downloadable games. So we can buy the same games again to be able to play them on the PS3. Yeah, that sounds like a plan. To be honest, I don't really care any more if the PS3 has BC because even if it did, I couldn't play my imported NTSC games on a PAL machine. I'll just keep my PS2. Edit: I thought Sony said they had such a great library of "exciting PS3 titles" that we shouldn't spend our time playing PS2 games on the thing and should buy more of their new and exciting PS3 games instead. But yeah, happy birthday to the PlayStation. If it wasn't for Sony and this console, we would never have got any Japanese RPGs in Europe. |

Games seemed so fresh and exciting back in those days, it was amazing seeing titles like Tekken, Tomb Raider, FF7, Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Wipeout, Resident Evil, MGS etc for the first time.
That's without the later games that were even better and the quirkier things like Parappa the Rapper.
I still miss the music it played when starting up too.

The PSone was a huge part of my childhood.
So much fun stuff on it.
Plus it had this game on it...so it's okay!

Happy Birthday PlayStation 1~! I remember the day when I got the PSOne. Was watching the Beavis and Butthead movie, and my mom came in and asked if I wanted a PlayStation or a dog. I pretty much said PlayStation before she finished saying dog.
