For real the rear view mirror using your psp for the racing game is such an "above and beyond" move. Its really unique 👌

I always watch your videos with a smile. Great content and information presented in an exciting manner . Keep em coming Arun 😊

[@Skylancer727]

The playstation pocket station wasn't only playstation's idea, it was actually inspired by the VMU which came out along side the Dreamcast in Japan. It was both brands banking on the tomagatchi phase Japan was going through. Both are memory cards that connect directly to the system. The main difference was for unsupported games on PS1 it did basically nothing, while on Dreamcast it displayed information of the game or little gags as it's on the controller making it easier to send secret messages and stuff to the player with one.

[@katiew5998]

That is sooo true

[@Skylancer727]

@@katiew5998 I don't blame people for not knowing about it. Most people had already written off the Dreamcast as the PS2 was known to be coming, was faster, and the PS1 was already the best selling system of its generation. Plus why put your faith in Sega after the Saturn was left to rot? No matter what Sega did, there was nothing they could do to save them from the pit they dug. Still kinda wish the hall effect sticks at least carried over to everyone else though...

PS Home was amazing! I loved that PS3 had free online. Also the PS Vita was so ahead of the game. It’s crazy that the PSVR sold 5M units and the PS Vita sold 15M units, yet they still made a PSVR2…

[@eckoking3106]

Honestly hoping they do some kind of reboot/redo of the PS Vita, it really was ahead of its time! Launched before the ps4 even came out... if it would've launched with the ps4 or even alongside the ps5 I think it would've done numbers easily❗️ just my opinion though

[@SeeDaRipper...]

@ Lee Lanzini, that's because they are always willing to push the ball.

[@Paccyd33]

The ps vita is a console and the vr is an accessory, what does this comment mean.

[@kevinb4713]

The meaning of the "cross" and "circle" buttons were actually the opposite of the "western" ideal. The original Japanese design was intended to be circle as confirm and cross as deny. Certain PS1 games even have the singular option of swapping just those two buttons in the control options. I remember Final Fantasy VII was definitely one of those games but I can't remember what others did the same

[@xvgm24]

Indeed. Generally the meaning of the circle symbol is "yes/correct" and the cross "no/incorrect".

[@McNasty43]

Thank you for pointing this out. IIRC even the first Metal Gear Solid game had this setup.

[@garmzai]

I remember playing games on PS1 during childhood, Japanese games usually have O as confirm and X as cancel, while western games usually have X as confirm, while having O and sometimes triangle as the cancel button

[@rubicon24]

exactly this. this O (maru) and X (batsu) meaning in Japanese is also seen in emojis. 🙆O 🙅X

[@just_an_average_robloxuser]

my PS4 pro was manufactured in japan and the factoory settings actually came with circle being confirm and cross as deny and the option to make circle the confirm button in the settings menu is replaced with the cross instead

[@GMAceM]

My first Sony console was the PSP and I still have it, it’s a bit busted but I think it was an amazing handheld system. It was definitely a much different experience than my GameBoy Advanced SP that’s for sure.

[@Gloryboyquan]

I still play psp titles ... On My Modded Ps Vita Great Handheld Console . Still enjoying it in 2023

[@Troberre75gt]

I remember playing knack a lot when I was smaller and I loved it. It was my favourite game
