	PlayStation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PlayStation was launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, USA on September 9, 1995 and Europe on September 29, 1995.
		Sony produced a redesigned version of the original console, called the "PS One", in a smaller (and more ergonomic) case which was introduced in September 2000.
		Sony's successor to the PlayStation is the PlayStation 2, which is backward compatible with its predecessor, in the sense that it can play almost every PlayStation game.

	PlayStation 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sony had stopped making the older PS2 model (SCPH-5000x) sometime during the summer of 2004 to let the distribution channel empty out stock of the units.
		Support for original PlayStation games was also an important selling point for the PS2, letting owners of an older system upgrade to the PlayStation 2 and keep their old software, and giving new users access to older games until a larger library was developed for the new system.
		Sony released a version of the Linux operating system for the PS2 in a package that also includes a keyboard, mouse, Ethernet adapter and hard disk drive.

		The meeting focused on Sony's overall corporate strategy, so no adicional details were revealed on the PSP itself beyond an image of what the current version of the hardware currenly looks like in concept form.
		Sony, apparently, does not agree, and Deering claimed that the PSP strategy could be "synergistic and dynamically collaborative with Game Boy".
		Sony, in a tone reminiscent of Nokia's views over the N-Gage, sees the PSP occupying an entirely different area of the mobile gaming space from the GBA.

		Playstation sales figures were concrete proof that Sega and Nintendo had to be on their guards and start worrying about their latest and most dangerous competitor.
		In 1999, Sony released an updated version of the PS dubbed the PSOne that was both cheaper and smaller.

		If the original PlayStation was the video game console equivalent of the '60s-era Volkswagen Beetle--economic, reliable, loads of fun--the PS One could be considered the new Beetle--a hip restyling of those same qualities.
		PlayStation is a winner in my book; if you don't have a home game-system, this is a unit you should consider purchasing.
		PlayStation 1 is a success but its 2 flaws are bad graphics you can see the little squares on them and most of the games have long loading times.I still like PSX and its games but i will need to get a PS1 Memory card to save any of their games.
