Worlds shortest presentation.

Also have a feeling E3 will be spectacular this year. Always better once a new generation gets into its swing.

Man, for around that time, $299 was a really good price. The Playstation kicked all kinds of ass.

For reference, the Saturn was announced as coming out RIGHT NOW for $399 just beforehand.

$299 for a CD player back in 1995? Fuck yeah.

Still have my PS1 and one of the controllers that came with it (the one with analog sticks), the PS1 is dead from hitting the floor too many times and the controller lost it's vibration ability years ago but still works fine, mainly use it with an adapter to play games/emulators on the PC now.

Man, I remember when I got a PS1 for christmas.

I didn't get any of the classics now, my mom got me the Namco Muesum set games, because they were the games she grew up with and trusted to be fun.

Yeowch. So not only did SEGA of America burn their developers with an early launch when they weren't ready, but they also promptly got burned by Sony just minutes later when they'd have more preparation and a lower price altogether.

I think the controller ports are messed up in mine.
Hence why I got a PS2 shortly after :D favourite console of all time, with the GBC as a close second.
