Apart from subjective aesthetics, is there any reason to get a Playstation over a PS One?
>>3043935
with the ps mini you could make it on the go with the battery pack and the screen.
>>3043935
PSX has high quality sound output making it arguably one of the best cd players around.
>>3043990
2016 and this dumb fucking parrot shit is still going. Amazing.
>>3043990
That's only true of the SCPH-100X and SCPH-300X models if it's even true at all.
>>3043990
you're a dumb faggot
the ps one looks gay as fuck, always get a psx.
>>3043990
>one of the best cd players around.
No, it was a $300 game console in the mid 90s with a DAC that was equivalent to a $300 aduio CD player in the mid 90s. Whoopty doo,
>>3043935
Not really. I'd stick with the PSOne mostly because I have had less trouble with it reading games than my PSX. The only reason I can think of right now to choose the original over the PSOne is the ability to use PSIO with it provided you're willing to spend the 150 or so for it.
Parallel port for Action Replay, import and backup loaders.
>>3043935
I/O most likely, some people like myself enjoy being able to use standard composite cables. Practicality aside I do adore the PSone over the PS aesthetically.
>>3043990
There can't be people who seriously still believe in this retarded bullshit. Oh wait.
People who perpetrate this utter lie to sell PS units at a higher price are the cause of hundreds of playstations totally ruined and misused at the hands of greasy audiophiles.
>>3043935
Parallel port. There's some accessories that use it like the old gameshark that can't be used on the PSOne.
I'd take the PSOne's screen over it any day though, assuming you can find one in good shape.

>>3044564
>used like once
Like, no, like. Even if Sony itself only, like, used it like one time (no), gaming media and gamers themselves used it all the time. The Japanese PSX demonstrates the disconnect between the JP and US divisions, and it certainly doesn't negate history.
>>3044634

>>3044634
>The Japanese PSX demonstrates the disconnect between the JP and US divisions, and it certainly doesn't negate history.
Except the US never used the "PSX" abbreviation either. They always used the full name "PlayStation" and occasionally abbreviation "PS", but never PSX. It was purely a gaming media thing.
>>3044634
If you say like one more fucking time, I'm going to throw my phone.
>>3044723
like whatever you like say, you little like faggot
it's called the psx. deal with it.
>>3044707
Which in turn influenced gamers. People did, and do, use PSX to refer to the PlayStation (1). You don't have to LIKE it, but doesn't change that simple fact.
>>3044838
Who said anything about liking it or not? My point was that Sony themselves never called the original PlayStation the "PSX" during its retail life. There was never any disconnect between SCEI and SCEA over the terminology they used in Japanese and English. Maybe with the gaming media (the PSX abbreviation was also used in Japan, but not as predominantly), but not with each other.
I remember back in the day the PS One models were very unreliable, and the reader got ruined faster than the original PS. But here we only played pirated games, so i dont know.
>>3044871
The original point is that it's "wrong" to use PSX (in part because of the Japanese PSX media console that never took off), and it's not.
>>3044635
>hating on PSX despite it always being commonly used
>yet probably defends use of "DMG" despite having the exact inverse situation
>>3044872

I have two broken PlayStations and one fully functional PSOne, modded, all from back in the day.
What now?
>>3043935
What video games rated E for everyone by the ESRB's for playstation 1?
>>3044871
Stop and think for a second. This is for all the nay sayers too: Where did the gaming magazines and such GET the term PSX? No, seriously.
>>3043935
>is there any reason to get a Playstation over a PS One?
If you need the serial port for some reason, then stick with one of the original PSX models. GameShark later released a CD-X version of its software that didn't require any peripherals, so it worked on the PSOne as well. If you plan to use a swap disc for imports or backups, those usually support inputting GS codes too.
The optical units on very early PSX models were prone to burning out, although that was fixed in subsequent revisions.
The only other physical difference I can recall is that the PSOne lacks a reset button. That may be an annoyance in some cases, but it never bothered me.
The internal BIOS between the PSX and PSOne is fairly different in appearance. The original PSX BIOS has a colorful, splashy background, while the PSOne uses a more generic gray grid.
>>3043935
Autism.
>>3044884
It's wrong, because Sony never used it when they marketed it.
>>3045687
The PS-X was just a prototype name for the PlayStation, which isn't uncommon for a platform to change name before retail release. The Super Famicom was called the SFX before release, but you don't see many people using that as an abbreviation.
>>3046049
>never used it
>used it like one time
I don't really give a shit if they used it once or a million times by Sony itself. It's been used colloquially since the 90's. Period. I'm pretty sure Nintendo never used "toaster" or "phatDS" or "DMG" either, why don't you have an aneurysm over that too?
>>3044372
basically this guy right here
>>3046049
>the 1990s
>wonders why the "X" stuck
>>3043935
PS1 or slim can not do s/video.
>>3046058
The difference is that Sony eventually did use the name PSX for something other than the original PlayStation. Whether you like it or not, that thing exists.
>>3044280
tbf that looks pretty awesome even if it's useless
>>3046074
We know. We don't care. When the Actual PSX came out, there was widespread criticism for going with that name--even if Sony never used it themselves, they had to know the term was used for the PS1 by the masses. Look up media coverage from the time period. That thing isn't retro anyway (let alone recognizable in any context--it flopped), so there's no confusion here.
>>3046074
Go shit up a PS2 thread about why it still has games coming out instead of arguing.
Language evolves, whether you like it or not, that concept exists.
>>3043935
If it matters to you then I don't think the PSone has the link cable socket. Not many games had link cable support, but if you were planning to play two player red alert with a PSone then think again.
>>3046110
>That thing isn't retro anyway (let alone recognizable in any context--it flopped), so there's no confusion here.
Yet, /vr/ spends more time bitching about sixth gen consoles and whether they're "retro" or not than older consoles
>>3046126
>Language evolves, whether you like it or not, that concept exists.
How ironic you say this, considering that's exactly my point. The PSX may had been the prototype name for the original PlayStation, but now it's the name of an DVR device that Sony actually marketed. Only stubborn oldfags clinging to outdated and incorrect abbreviations still insist on calling it the PSX. Normal people just call it the PS1 or simply PS.
>>3043935
Original PS1 is probably more reliable based on the fact that the mini is more compact and thus has more chances for something to mess up with everything crammed in such a small space.
>>3046072
Are you sure? Do you want to try again?
>>3046212
>that Sony actually marketed
That's generous.
Anyway, it would seem that some stubborn oldfags insist on "correcting" people who simply aren't going to be corrected, over a commonly-used term. Have fun; that's the only thing your bickering is good for.

To the uninitiated, DMG isn't obvious. Chances are you'll still have to explain it, something you're evidently against, because the following situation:

That's the thing. You kids whine and bawl about "Why don't they call it PS1??" That's because for six years there was no such thing as a PS2. So the use of PSX was in favor during that time. Suddenly retroactively changing the name and want to deny that that's what it was called by anyone who gamed is just stupid and shows the arrogance of your generation.

this. gamepro magazine used PSX. it was everywhere, because consoles need a 3 letter name.
With the singular exception of the SNES, everything had a 3 letter or digit name which would be used in appropriate shorthands
NES
GEN
SMS
SAT
GEO
N64
This was ubiquitous. You would see it at Blockbuster. You'd see it in magazines. everyone called it the PSX, because just calling it "PS" felt too short and incomplete.

No, you have to stop insisting that throngs of people are all wrong because you personally didn't share their experience.
I only ever heard the term "PSX" used in the PS2 era. Not sure where kids got this idea that the PlayStation was called PSX.
Frankly the only reason I still call it PSX is out of spite for all the kiddies and their bullshit revisionist history.
>>3055846
>revisionist
Being confused by a term you never heard used by anybody to describe a PS1 before finding /vr/ is 'revisionism' now?
Are we supposed to just pretend it was widely used in the era on the words of the kind of people who say 'kiddie'?
>>3055876
Are we supposed to pretend that every time this discussion is had, it's full of people who have "never heard anyone refer to a PlayStation as a PSX before?"
>>3055837
Assuming you're not simply trolling, you'd have to be willfully ignoring testimony at this point. Of course, you JUST SAID people used the term, so to go and pretend you're not sure why people believe the term was used is laughable.
>>3055889
Given this board is literally the only place I have heard it used that way it does not surprise me at all people who do not use it frequently would be surprised.
>>3055914
But it should surprise you that people continue to hear the term on /vr/ yet pretend they've never heard it before. Isn't that your cue to cry "newfag" and "lurk more?"
>>3055889
>you'd have to be willfully ignoring testimony at this point. Of course, you JUST SAID people used the term
Can you not read? I didn't hear the term till well after the PlayStation was done.
>>3055979
You still heard it. It shouldn't come as a surprise to hear it now.
Can you not read? Dozens of posts in thread alone have attested to hearing/using the term back in the day. Maybe it somehow eluded you, but your life story doesn't change theirs. If I never heard the Beatles referred as "The Fab Four" before, that doesn't change the fact that it was and remains a common phrase used to refer to the band (even if the band itself didn't use the term to describe themselves).
>>3055993

This board is literally the only place I have seen a PS1 called a PSX.
>>3056745
You've never been to a rom site then?
First models of PS1 are actually very good CD players despite what /vr/ says. However, when Flac and other losses formats are easier to use, it really does not matter.
>>3056745
>This board is literally the only place I have seen a PS1 called a PSX.
Oh well, I guess that totally invalidates the actual physical proof that exists of people calling it a PSX, then.
>>3056745
So you've never been to a rom site (or on the internet period for that matter), read a gaming magazine, or had any friends. Got it.
>>3044730

>>3057221

Not him, but every issue of EGM, Gamefan, and Game Pro say "PS1" or "Playstation". Literally no one in America says "PSX".
>>3057240
Literally the first 32 bits of every PS1 executable.

>>3057245
>>3057245
>Literally no one in America
There's that word that you keep using wrong again. Read the thread. Several people in "America" called it PSX in the 90's, and call it PSX to this day.
You wanna nitpick? It's The United States of America, not "America". North America is the continent, The United States is a country that sits upon the continent.
>>3057221
No gaming magazine I have ever read said it, never heard any of my friends mention it either. And no I do not go on rom sites, I still play my original PS1 with the same games I had.
This really offends you doesn't it? That not everyone called it a 'PSX'?
>arguing about whats canon based on what suits the community at the time
Evidence supports PS-X
If you find this blasphemous, then maybe you got brain problems if you are thinking of video games as a religion without realizing it.
>>3057280
I don't think any one is offended by your choice to call it something other than PSX, we just don't get your refusal to accept people called it that simply because you didn't.
Do you also think the world goes dark every time you shut your eyes?

Heres the thing. Doesnt matter what it was called back then. The DVR PSX exists. Calling a PS1 a PSX is cause for confusion.
A similarity exists between that and Final Fantasy naming. Do those that insist on calling a PS1 a PSX refer to the SNES Final Fantasy games as 2 and 3?
>>3047178
Man, I always fucking cringe when I go back and read articles and opinions on the CD vs. cartridge debate. Everyone who is "pro-CD" just barks endlessly about how they get so many cutscenes and voice acting and all the shit that pretty much everyone has come to agree has ruined modern gaming. 99% of the "massive" games that people said could "only be made on CD" were mostly pre-rendered movies and crap.
It's funny, I was flipping through my old Gamefans, and whenever a really great N64 game comes along, it almost always causes the writer to remark why they thought cartridges were bad, because Nintendo was still producing some absolutely massive games with high quality and tons of content, just without voice acting, which was apparently the standard of "good game" back then.
>>3057318
The 2 posts which started this argument claimed that the Playstation wasn't called the PSX, the other claimed the term wasn't widely used. As this is an anonymous image board I don't know if you posted either of them, but that's the argument you joined.

Im sorry to hear it causes you problems.
>>3057356
>I know you are, you said you are, but what am I
You need to be 18 to post on this site.
But I'm serious, if someone uses the term PSX then it's almost always obvious what they are talking about from the context. For example, if someone on /vr/ starts a PSX general, they're probably talking about the retro console, since this is a retro board.
The handful of times when it isn't then they'll almost always be talking about the PlayStation Since it was so much more popular than the PSX DVR, on one of those very few times when they are actually talking about the PSX, it's very simple error which they can correct easily by saying something like "sorry, I meant the DVR."
As I say, if you genuinely have problems with distinguishing the 2 then you are mentally deficient. Though I don't believe you do, I think you're just trying to be awkward.
>>3057380
Everything you said applies to Final Fantasy series, yet people lose their shit if you call the US release Final Fantasy 2.
>>3057380

>>3057280
>This really offends you doesn't it? That not everyone called it a "PSX"?
No, I'm just pointing out your absolute sheer dumbassery in the sense that you absolutely refuse to accept that the term didn't suddenly spring up last summer on /vr/. It was used during the the 5th generation. Get over it.

It wasn't a "universal" thing, but it was most certainly a thing that did exist back in the late 90s.
I clearly remember various gaming magazines using "PSX" as shorthand, and the video rental place I used to go to wrote "PSX" on all the rental boxes for PlayStation games. This was in 1998, as I remember renting the then-recently-released Need For Speed 3 from there and wondering what the X on the PSX box meant.
i'd just like to confirm the name "PSX" was pretty much universal back when the playstation was at its height. nobody called it the PS, and why the fuck would anyone call it the PS1 when the playstation 2 wasn't even thought of at the time.
It was definitely called PSX by gaming magazines. Ultra64 and PSX.
