Wish they would make a new console the same style as this. Ps1 was special.

Including the game cases, the uk jewel cases were glorious

This is my PlayStation. I owned since I bought it all those years ago. Not sure how close this was to launch but I remember them being in short supply and I phoned round all the shops in town and found this is a backstreet independent.

I don’t normally keep stuff so we’ll, all the original manuals and disks are there (I think) so it’s a real survivor.

UK model so “sun bleach” isn’t a high risk issue. ;-)

Yes, jokes aside this one was lucky. I think it was in a spare room away from direct light and then got boxed up when I bought my PS2 and never got abused.

My favourite part about them was when playing something intense I would pull the controller and bring the whole console crashing to the floor. Disk tray pops up, disc flys out and screen freezes. All I’d have to was put it back on the shelf, put the disc in and give it a spin and voilà! Back to gaming.

Then I remember lifting my mates Xbox 360 up half an inch to move a cable out from under it and he received the red ring of death..

This is amazing that it survived so many years. Must be pretty sentimental, huh?

My genesis and PS1 where passed down by my mom to kids that had nothing to play with. I'm sad to think they probably broke at some point and they just tossed away due to not being able to repair, but at least they got to give those kids some moments of joy. One oh the households where 2 boys, they got the PS1. The Genesis went for a wheelchair bound girl.
