Product Description
Product description
- A console-only Sony PlayStation 1, ideal for a quick and easy replacement for broken hardware, or to play backup PlayStation 1 games with. This unit does not come with any TV hookups, Power Cables, Boxes, Manuals, or Controllers, unless otherwise stated. It is of note that while this item is just the console only, it if fully compatible with the standard AV and power cables of the Sony PlayStation 2 and 3, and the controllers from the Sony PlayStation 2, along with its own cables.
- With a sub-$100 price tag and a massive software library, the Sony PlayStation is the undisputed king of home video game consoles. Although the PlayStation is no longer the fastest machine on the market, it does boast the broadest selection of software. Some of the hottest console games available today are created exclusively for the PlayStation, including several modern-day video gaming classics (Metal Gear SolidandCrash Bandicoot to name a few).
- The Sony PlayStation truly shines with 3D-rendered action games, such as Tomb Raider and Syphon Filter. These and other 3D-based titles place players in the middle of elaborate gaming environments that take full advantage of the system’s ability to render up to 360,000 polygons per second. The PlayStation also has the capability to display 16.8 million colors simultaneously and can support full-frame video playback at 30 frames per second. In addition to impressive graphics, the PlayStation also offers CD-quality sound. Each PlayStation disc has the capacity to store up to 650 MB of data–significantly more information than can be stored on cartridge-based games. As an added bonus, the PlayStation will even play your favorite music CDs (accompanied by a selection of cool graphics).
- Additionally, the PlayStation now comes packed with Sony’s impressive DualShock controller, which allows players to feel every punch, kick, and rumble during gameplay. The controller features dual-analog thumb joysticks and round rubber grips for improved game control and comfort. Separate accessories that could enhance the PlayStation experience include an additional controller–allowing two-player action–and a memory card so players can save their progress in a game. –Brett Atwood
