I remember paying £299 for mine at launch in 1996. That was without any games. Going from a Sega Megadrive to this is probably the greatest leap in gaming quality there ever was in regards to consoles. Not just graphically, but also the audio. I have another early PS that I paid £25 in it's original box which I have refurbished and now works like a dream. While the debate is still out that the early 1001/1002 models produce superior audio, mine certainly sounds excellent and on par with my PS4. Dare I say maybe better!!

[@BlinksAwakening]

Nintendo only "stabbed Sony in the back" due to the fact that they didn't realize the deal they reached with Sony would actually net Sony more money per game sold on CD than Nintendo would make, and this would include first party games Nintendo would have made on the format. Nintendo actually felt that Sony were trying to stab them in the back, so they pulled out of their deal without warning and instead approached Philips. Seems like no matter how you slice it, all that was really needed was better communication.

[@MrTerrorzone2012]

I can remember when SNES and Megadrive where having the big console war (yes I'm that old...). And it's funny that Sony won that whole thing and is pretty much still king

[@TheJaBuLs]

@Merchantrouge84 Sony still did great during that cycle. It started out rough but currently the PS3 and 360 are sitting right at 84 million consoles sold each so not too bad considering how far behind they were and the fact they had to compete with the Wii at their launch AND the 360 had an entire year on the market without competition.

[@TheAlphaOmegaX3]

@smokehead 69 Nah their were reasons. Really good reasons why they backed out. "Sony got the rights to create and sell CD-ROM software that would run on the Super NES-compatible machine, which it called the “Play Station.” It wouldn’t have to pay Nintendo any royalties or get its approval for CD-ROM games. This meant that if developers and consumers did embrace CD-ROM gaming on the Super NES, Nintendo wouldn’t get a dime off any of those game sales-only the hardware sales. Why would Nintendo allow this to happen? Maruyama said it was because Sony “explicitly told them we were going to focus on everything but video games.” In other words, Sony’s position was that it would make encyclopedias, home karaoke software, and other non-gaming applications using CD-ROMs, and leave all the gaming to Nintendo. But apparently this was not in the contract itself, and once the ink was on paper, Sony had carte blanche."

[@badly_dubbed2401]

I have one, and it does sound absolutely amazing connected to some good speakers. I remember back in 1995 that it did sound that little bit different to anything else . Very unique sound. I'm not sure how intentional this was by Sony as it was just a gaming console after all but it certainly appears to have some fine tuning to the audio chip. I can't speak for the later versions as I've never owned one but certainly not much could touch the original PlayStation for sound quality back then. Not without spending lots anyway.

That specific swap trick only works on the early production consoles. Later on, Sony added another check to the boot process with the effect that you had to swap the discs over twice at exactly the right times (I.E. local disk -> import disc -> local disc -> import disc) - it was fairly easy with practice, but getting it to boot the first time could be an exercise in frustration.

Another interesting fact that may only be known to PlayStation owners in Japan and UK, was that you can buy a kit to make your own games called Net Yaroze, all you needed was a PC with an internet connection and the Sony Net Yaroze software development kit, which came with a black region free PlayStation. In the UK if the game was good it would be on the demo disc on the Official PlayStation Magazine UK. There were some good games that were build using Net Yaroze.

The scratch and sniff discs weren't ever meant to be scratched, but rather, the smell was activated by the spinning of the disc in the slightly warm PlayStation, giving your room a smell that is associated with the environment of the game. Actually does add to the realism of Gran Turismo when you can smell the track and tires.

1. Ape Escape is awesome and taught me how to play analog sticks. 2. I used to listen to my game soundracks on the boombox all the time haha

[@randomroadstraveled3710]

OMG!! Bleeem! That was amazing! I jumped on it when I heard about it. Final Fantasy 9 and Metal Gear Solid was my replay games.

1:11 We've had brick wall limiters for a long time. One of the albums widely considered as kicking off the loudness war is 1996's What's the Story (Morning Glory), only one year after the US release of the PlayStation. There's nothing to stop a PlayStation disc from using a loud master. Also, CD audio is excellent, but not the best. 48K audio also existed at the time. Take a look at DAT. Are you confusing audio compression with data compression?

[@harkenrebirth]

Hehehe. The connectix Emulator. Remember used to play it on my pc. Mostly for Symphony o fthe night. The framerate was very stable.

[@Trebbell]

Ahh yes I remember leaving my ps1 on for days at a time, stupid memory cards.

[@federalmayhem304]

I dont have just one PlayStation 1 i went and got a PsOne as well . But now a days my PSP is my psone

[@Chris.Batchelor]

At 2:16, you reminded me of my childhood. I played that game for HOURS on my PC.

[@the66volks]

I still have an play my original play station I got for Christmas in 1997! cool video!

[@OneWingdAnge1]

I don't have to remember it, I've still got it😊

[@citizerin]

I still have my original PS2

[@mattsmedley.onehandedgamin9029]

Ditto

[@AlexReiter1988]

I own my PS1 still, my mum bought it from my brother for $200 Aud in the day. I also sprayed it silver. And the start-up, is still one of the best start-ups ever.

[@YorkshireMemes]

The start up for the ps1 gave me chills as a kid and it still does now as a 21 year old

[@lyr1kn156]

I member the PS1, I member!

[@NYR14477]

😭 I chose the sega Saturn over the ps1 when they came out. Then 6 months went by and bought the ps1 And never looked back

[@fadedtiger3181]

I remember playing the old Metal Gear Solid demo every time i went over at my cousins. Then I got a PS2 eventually one christmas along with Dragon Ball Z Budokai. The first game I got after that was sons of liberty.

[@butch2811]

Fact #2 with the audio. Tomb Raider 2, and Twisted Metal 2 in my cd player, they had some wicked tracks!

[@dragonslayeromega7318]

I LOVE MY PS1.

[@doyowan]

I had to go check on number 6... I pulled out my copy of GT2 and smelled the disc... either you have been fooled or the scratch and sniff stuff lost all it's smell after that many years... just smells like plastic. :-(

[@tarantinoish]

Doy Owan it was a special edition released in PAL territories only. The discs are quite rare and hard to come about nowadays, but are very much a real thing.

[@shakesfirst2443]

It may be dependant on region as to whether they did it for each copy. Pretty sure we didn't get it in Australia.

[@pyeltd.5457]

I got that then. SE PAL one.

[@badly_dubbed2401]

You're not scratching the platinum version are you lol?

[@mitchelplatt]

Mine still smells

[@MrR2185]

1:25 MediEvil was such a great game, I am glad to see it pop up in a video.

[@JimmyTurner]

4:22 yeah same for me and the jack black face made me lol

I like this guys(birds) voice. It's the Type of voice that you could trust and have an in depth discussion about meleculer fragmentation in polyphonic science.

[@ItsMatthewC]

Loved Crash Bandicoot 3 and the Spider-Man games on the PS1, the Harry Potter games were pretty great too and you can't forget Hugo the Frog Fighter 😁

[@MrToasty4]

I had a ps1, and I really wish I could find where it is 🤷‍♂️

[@moonboy5851]

Chill Zero where is it?

[@a2izo]

I expect a top 10 facts about the soulja console.

[@pierce607]

I still play some PS1 games... on my PSP. Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX specifically. But you could get some great games from the PS store, install them on your PS3, and them "port" them to your PSP. Wild Arms 1 & 2, Harvest Moon (which I will admit, as not aged well), and a number of other classics are out there. With the Switch, you can get a lot of those same games, on a better machine, but they are pricey again. I think each of the FF games cost me $7, or so. They are upwards of $20 now. I would love if they re-released Brave Fencer Musashi on a new console. I'd play that like it was my job. Anyway, thanks for a great video!

[@herohunter81]

I remember Descent. Loved that game. Free floating Doom with lasers and missiles.

TOP 10 THINGS ONLY 90S KIDS WILL REMEMBER!!!

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

I picked up a PS1 mini a couple of years ago and love it. Never owned a original Playstation as a kid though I love the games from Crash Bandicoot- Tomb Raider- Jersey Devil - Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and many, many more

[@mikeshaver-miller745]

I’m going through Year of the Dragon from the Spyro Reignited trilogy. What a blast it’s been! I’m CRAVING some Jet Moto remake action. Just give me 60 FPS jet moto 2 and I will be happy for years.

[@bestledisthe]

Was it called PSX

[@aiodensghost8645]

Yes. It's alt. name is the PSX

[@error_404.69]

Evidently there was a ps2/dvr console called the psx which sold only in Japan that used the same ui that would latter be seen on the psp and ps3

[@superandy2k13]

I don't know if you're aware or not but PlayStation and PlayStation One are two totally separate systems.

[@tyren943]

Super Andy no

[@malkaviian]

They're two different systems yes, but the same console, just like PS4 and PS4 PRO

[@HappyCynic]

Like the PSX. However, people still call the PlayStation PSX.

[@majorten-toes3906]

Not entirely true. The PSOne is like the PlayStation slim

[@cool3865]

PS One is the same damn system, just smaller than the original. also PSX was an old codename for the project

[@radialorbits]

I held on to a few od my classic PS1 games. Few years ago i got another PS1 and rebuilt my collection. I love it

[@mikec3702]

Paid to have a mod chip installed in mine which made it able to play burner copies..also picked up a unfinished game called “Thrill Kill” great game, great system and still play every now and again till this day.
