Title of review Re-live PSX action!!!
Summary This is a good idea from Sony and this does really start to bring profits back up after when the Sega Dreamcast was out and N64 was still doing roaring trade, as well as botyh Game Boy Colour and normal Game Boy were selling like hot cakes. You can still play all of your old games on the new PS1, but with PS2 also out at the same time now what would you go for? The choice is yours, and you know what I went for, and it was a Sega Dreamcast!

Title of review Good OL' PSX!!!
Summary This was the machine that set the tone for the brilliant machines we are enjoying now. Its a classic and it was and still is a great machine, my little bro has one and he still plays it. They are still making games for the PSX so their owners don't worry you can still get games so enjoy, not as good as an N64 though!!!!

Title of review PSOne
Summary If i had the choice of purchasing this and the original playstation, it would have to be the PSOne. They are both of around the same price. The PSOne is very small, and has all the same features of the original playstation. The PSOne looks far better and is smaller then the original. I would recommend this if you are considering purchasing the original playstation.

Summary A great console if you can't afford a PS2, with a very large selection of games available. This has been in the shops for over seven years and is still one of the best consoles around.

Title of review Excellent Value
What are the strengths? The amount of game play the player recieves for the price is fantastic!
What are the weaknesses? None I could see, though I would like to find a cooling system for the console.
Summary In summary, I have played this console in the past and I look forward to Playstation 2 thru 360 and beyond. I also like the selection of games and hope to see more and more upgrades to a indepent unit replacing my other electronics needs at home. I will never replace a stereo reciever for the game console, but I wouild consider using the console in place on DVD players, especially since the #rd console is blu-ray disc- Exellent!!
