Ps1 Memory
My dad bought a Playstation 1 with Final fantasy 7 for himself and Disney's Hercules for me. Needless to say i rather played FF7.
Ps2 Memory
Getting a ps2 with Jak & Daxter loved that game and only made my love for Naughty dog grow.
Ps3 Memory
Getting a HD tv and seeing the difference it made with Uncharted:Drake's fortune.

PS1 Memory:
Got the Demo1 disc (Abe Odessyee-RR-Tenka..etc) w/ X2 game ( I was blown away with the transition to 3D worlds) played way too much hours of Tekken 3 and Tomb Raider. I loved Vigilante 8...a lot of nostalgia here

PS2 Memory:
I got PS2 bundled w/ MGS2 ( blown away by the graphics of MGS2) w/ Demo that had DMC and GT4. then Got ICO, SoTC, GOW GTA SA ..a lot of great memories.

PS3 Memory:
Didn't spend much time w/PS3 as the other 2 due to work and school, but I still remember getting Motorstorm and Resistance, and I can't forget the mighty MGS4, and Journey

This article fills me with so much nostalgia. I remember that bear from spyro, Moneybags was his name i think. I should buy Spyro and play it on my vita soon :D

Too much history, Playstation brought out my dark side with its rated M games.

PS1:
Playing Wild Arms 1 in my friend house. That was my 1st game for PS1. Those opening movie with guitar & whistle already convinced me that me and playstation will have a long journey and amazing relationship in the future ^^

PS2:
Devil May Cry 1 is my 1st PS2 games. I loved this game so much that my tears began to flow when capcom announced that shitty DmC. RIP DMC & Dante, i'll always remember you as my 1st amazing game for the legendary PS2.

PS3:
To me, PS3 isn't as magical as PS2. No Wild Arms 6, Breath of Fire 6, Dark Cloud 3, and FF turns to a joke with 13. But nonetheless PS3 had the majority of my gaming activity for this gen. With MGS 4, Yakuza 3-4, Disgaea 4, Uncharted 1-3, GoW 3, Demon's Souls, and Valkyria Chronicles, PS3 still a worthy successor for PS2. And i can't wait to play all PS3 swan song such GoW:Ascension, TLoU, Beyond Two Souls, Tales of Xillia, Disgaea Dimension, and Jojo's Bizzare Adventure All Star ^^

And here we are with PS4. I hope Sony still on the record for delivering us gamers with great games in the future. Cheers ^^

PS1 Memory

Seeing the PlayStation Memory Card as a necklace pendant on a sexy girl's cleavage was the coolest, hottest. sexiest, nerdiest and real time sight to behold.

The ultimate gamer's fashion statement that video games has become legit.

Also playing through and finishing Resident Evil only saving at the end was the geekiest adrenaline rush.

Booting up the Demo disc that came with PS1 and being amazed by it, especially the dinosaur demo.

I remember playing Onimusha for the PS2 with my brothers and were absolutely floored by the graphics. Great game.

Good times with FF7, Crash Bandicoot and Medevil on ps1.
