Hodgey. Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I sold mine a while back wish i hadnt as it would of been nice just to keep. As i have a PS2 and PS3 now, would of been good to actually go back and play all the old games i had for it. But sayin that i would never go out and buy another one now.

Statutory Ray Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Rip all of the games to your PC, pawn the system and the discs, and just play the ripped games on an emulator. To be honest, if the PC can play it, why keep the system?

Oblivionz Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm keeping the system, just for future use. Maybe in a long time it will be valued as a collector's item.

GTASIX Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Im not throwing mine out. I think the PS1 will out live my PS2 and PS3. Old consoles are the best. You could probably throw your PS1 down stairs and it would still work. New consoles arnt as solid as the old ones.

Might sound VERY stupid and idiotic from my mouth, but 'grow up'. It is an possibility that the value of the first PS might raise in the next years. EDIT: And!

Protip: Before you go around calling people complete idiots, make sure that you aren't one yourself. How are You comparing PlayStation to Atari 2600? They're both mass-produced home gaming consoles that sold extremely well and possessed cutting-edge consumer micro processing technology for their time. How are they not comparable? The big difference is that the PS1 outsold the 2600 about 5 to 1, so it'll be worth even LESS within 20 years. You CAN get a "sh*tload" (if $200 is a sh*tload of money to you) of money for some games, that part is true. These are usually rare games though, meaning not many people own them, or even know about them. Most of them are obscure Japanese RPG games that got a limited release in the US, and are only worth money now because they became popular through online reviews. Sure, if you've got a copy of Suikoden II sitting around you can find some supernerd willing to shell out $200 for it, but if it's a good game that was widely available, which are the games most people own, it's only likely to depreciate in value. Most games aren't worth sh*t, and can be found in the bargain bin at any dilapidated Game X Change across America for $5-10. Sure, he could go through the time and effort to list all of his games on eBay, which is the only place nerds would pay so much money for something with so little real value, if only for the convenience of not having to walk out of their house, or he could spend that time playing and enjoying those games. I'd pawn them and the console and play any PS1 games I wanted to play on an emulator.

TheTank Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I've gotta say, that to a 16-year-old boy, 200 big ones per one game is a big money. I ain't so rich that I could afford PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii into our home. And I've mainly bought all gaming consoles and other non-important electornics for myself with my own money.

I still get the nostalgic feeling playing FF7 on an emulator on my TV, using the original Playstation controller, looking over at the PS1 sitting in my closet. It's still the same game, same controls, etc. Do you feel the same way about playing a PS1 game on a PS2, or a PS2 on PS3?

[GTA Man]cycon77foamy[GTA Man] Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) No way. Im not throwing mine away. The PSX/PS1 is way better then the PS2 and 3 combined. Way better library of games. Many of todays great franchises started on the PSX (Metal Gear Solid (the 3d games), Crash Bandicoot, Driver, Console GTA's, Tony Hawks (i know its multi platform, but was really awesome on PSX), Gran Turismo, Resident Evil (thanks TheTank) and who can forget the best PSX game of all time: Kula World ( Roll Away in US). Yeah you can play em on the 2 and 3 but its just not the same. But... Nostalgic...

Sure the PC can control everything, but hell if you have the system, why not just keep the sh*t. Are you honestly going to get anything substantial for it? and the 360 arcade and wii virtual console are just trying to bring back the games for people that may've already dumped their systems off. I myself am proud i still play S/NES, and using that old'e school controller is just awesome compared to keyboard.
