Product Description
One of the most successful video game consoles ever created has been miniaturized! The lightweight PS one packs gaming into a portable, compact unit. The 32-bit processor delivers all the power, visual clarity, and extraordinary gameplay of the original PlayStation. With available accessories like the LCD Screen (for PS one) and Car Adaptor (for PS one), the PS one console lets you take PlayStation gaming to places it's never been. Of course, it plays CDs too!
Amazon.com Review
If the original PlayStation was the video game console equivalent of the '60s-era Volkswagen Beetle--economic, reliable, loads of fun--the PS One could be considered the new Beetle--a hip restyling of those same qualities. Make no mistake: the PS One has all of the same functionality as the original PlayStation workhorse, will work with all of the same peripherals and accessories, and will play the existing PlayStation game library, as well as audio CDs (also note that, like the original PlayStation, it's not compatible with the more advanced PlayStation 2). The difference here is that this new model is quite a bit smaller than its older brother, and quite a bit cuter, too. The system is made up of a 32-bit, 34-MHz RISC processor with 16 Mbits of main memory, 8 Mbits of graphics memory, 24-channel stereo sound, double-speed CD-ROM drive, and one Dual Shock analog controller. That's not a lot of power, compared to a next-generation system like the Sega Dreamcast; but, when you factor in its very low price and the enormous library of games that are available (more than 1,000 that are spread across every genre imaginable), one can see easily why it's as good a deal as ever. If rumors of exciting future accessories for the PS One (a four-inch LCD screen attachment, to name one) are true, this little machine could become a great option for the on-the-go gamer. --Porter Hall

 Very Good! February 18, 2008
Very good console. Sony came out with alot of fun games to play on this system. Just make sure you don't touch the little round lens in the console or you will be very sorry.
I still play this over the newer conosles, and for a reason. January 20, 2008

I find myself getting bored of the newer games quickly. They are seriously missing something that makes them as fun as older systems like this. I still play this system to this day, and still have many games to complete for this. Forget the 360, PS3, and Wii. This is all I need. No need to go out and get a HDTV and other expensive stuff to enjoy gaming, where you can just use the good old SDTV right here. The Playstation 1 still has it all.
always the best console August 8, 2007

i know they just came out with the ps3 and they have the ps2 but get the system it can play all of your favorite game(mines spyro) and you can get the system and all the games you want for a low price! trust me im not a fake this is the best game system i can think of besides the wii!! if your looking for a low costing good game system with lowcosting games i highly recomend this one!!!!!!!! this game system is also very good for being in the plane or on the road but not with rpg's tough but the lcd screen combo is good 2 so i would either get the psone alone or get the combo!... OVER ALL GET THIS SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS1's are old but I decided to review them anyway. Back then the PS1 was huge but now no one even talks about it. The only systems people care about are the Wii,PS3,and Xbox 360. I can't believe that my friend still plays the PS1. They were considered AWESOME at the time but now they STINK.
5 out of 5 BACK THEN.
1 out of 5 NOW.
Sony's first gaming sucessful gaming system, started of the dynesty of PS systems December 23, 2006
I was never really an avid gamer, and a few years ago I got my hands on the original PSone. What a system it was for it's time. It really was one of the first arcade style games/graphics systems available for home. N64 was also out around that time as well, followed shortly by Gamecube. The PS one has so many great games, and really brought Sony into the public eye again as one of the premiere electronics companies. Advantages of this system, many great arcade style games, excellent sports game selection, good graphics. Disadvantage, the loading time. Some games seem like they take forever to load up. Also, the shift to CD style game disc started here. Cartidges are durable, but limited in scope (although flash technology is growing). But, still a fun system, games compatable with PS2 and PS3.
