PS2 was my first PlayStation console, after that I bought PS3, PSP and PS4 at launch. I also bought a PS1 and Vita later on. And I've already placed my pre-order for the PS5, can't wait!
Same.PS1 soon after release. I was actually late to the PS2 party as gaming too a back seat to family back then. But I've owned every Sony console and surely intend to buy a PS5 day 1.
I’m looking forward to the PS5 celebrating 25 years of PlayStation with FULL backwards compatibility with PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 discs and digital downloads so that they can be played in their original modes and with PS5 performance boost!
In my country there are game two stores that offer pre-orders. I already paid a deposit of €50 in fact. I think there's a good chance stock will be scarce around release given the popularity of the PS4.
Its a pre-order with the store, sort of a deal between you and the store as a "promise" to get in on the day 1 list; its not a guarantee mind you. You can ask at local stores to see if they do this. My local store does it too.
OT: 25 years of PlayStation...what a ride... It took me some time to buy the ps1 (got it 1998) since I was deep in Nintendo land(N64) back then but once I did I never looked back. So many memories...so many more to come still.
Atari 2600 was my first console, from there I had a NES, SNES, N64 but once I bought an original PlayStation with my first 2 games being Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy VII I could never go back.
Going back to the fun times !! Hanimex Pong, Apple IIe, (The orig top down Castle Wolfenstien FTW) , NES, Megadrive, PS1, Then went PC/Mac gaming.. Quake with mods, like Urban terror... Soo fun... Dropped Console gaming, Saw a mate play MGS3 on a PS2 ? was impressed... Though didnt like Controllers, preferred M/K , But He talked me into the PS3 and a 360.. 360 didnt ge much use, I really had fun with the PS3, and pretty much dropped PC gaming.... Now a PS4 pro with VR, (Xbox just doesent do it for "Me", I find PS titles more to "my" taste), and I still have a capable gaming rig.. soooooo... Def a fan of PS.... Cant wait to see what the PS5 will bring...
Hey Nyx, still having a blast with Death Stranding.
I don't usualy buy consoles day one. I wait a year tops, and then buy it.... but if the statements about full B/C are true, im really considering to get it day one.
Several months ago there was an article stating Sony was patenting some sort of emulator tech. It sounded like they are trying to get it to run all games. This was right before they announced PS5 would be BC.
I didn't know you could pre order a ps5 so early on? The full specs sheet isn't even out yet!
I'm curious as to weather it'll play 4k movies or above, in true 4k so i don't have to purchase something separately.
Regardless..... congratulations to Sony and PlayStation for all 25 years of entertainment. Its been a blast and have definitely been happy with every console that I've brought.
modded PS2 was my first, having been on pc prior mainly with SNES, and a bunch of Sega consoles... never looked back. Ps3 phat with bc , ps4, ps4pro and soon to be ps5. Life has been great.
Every Sony console has been incredible to play on and I have so many great memories growing up with the PS2. Always putting the core gamer first and always giving us memorable experiences. I haven't missed out buying one and the PS5 will be no different
Got into gaming with PS1 and been with the console ever since. Every console and a Vita and love them all.
PS1 was the console that got me into gaming. Back on the 80s and 90s with 2D graphics and worlds I found very difficult to play in, because I could not tell distance. After the PS1 released everything changed, I would watch my friend play Tomb Raider. I finally decided to get one for myself and bought FF7, Nightmare Creatures, and Jet Moto.
Next up will be the PS5, which may be my final console and will become a retro gamer with the way future gaming is being transformed with streaming, loot boxes, microtransactions and service based games.
Been a fan since ps1, experienced Xbox 360 great games, but Sony won me back. I'm looking to get that gray 20 year ds4, the most beautiful of them all.
Great journey so far! Greatings to everyone from psx days.
Time sure flies... I remember the time when I was a regular customer at Virtual World playing Red Planet and I saw a demo disc of Wipeout on Ps1. That was the day that I knew I had to buy to console (already had a Sega Saturn) and I quitted Virtual world the moment I got the game.
From playing PS1 games like Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, Tekken 2 & 3 and Crash Bandicoot games at friends houses, to getting a PS4 and having a bookcase full of games now, Playstation has given me years of entertainment and I'm looking forward to the PS5.
I remember the first time I got a PS1 and the music that played before the game booted up. In fact I have that theme because I love that intro I much!
I got an N64 Xmas 96 and was absolutely blown away by Mario 64! I'd never played anything like that to that point. I was a rabid Nintendo fan and when PlayStation was announced I wasn't too excited.
That is until the following Xmas. When I got a PSX and I played RE Directors Cut and played the RE2 demo that came with the Directors Cut and I was really blown away! I'd never been so frightened playing a game. I love horror so this was a match made in heaven. I got RE D.C. and Nightmare Creatures and I was hooked!
I can't imagine gaming without PlayStation now. Too many hours to count have been spent on so many memorable games. I loved that generation because going from SNES and Genesis to N64 and PSX was an incredible experience I don't think we'll see again for a long time. Congrats Sony and I look forward to many more years of good times!
When I bought my PS1 it was with the intend to be a secondary console to my N64 because there were lack of games. PS1 immediately became my primary console and after that, all other PlayStation consoles too.
Too busy celebrating 25 years of SEGA Saturn baby and 20 of Dreamcast! 2 of my fave systems ever! I had a PocketStation before I owned a PS1 but now I have a PSone and PS1. Outside of some oddball stuff like PSX I have all their major systems. PS1,PS2,PS3,PS4,PSP,PSV and as mentioned PocketStation. I like it's design a lot more than VMU TBH. Tho VMU had more support.
Im a original member of the Playstation underground with the Original Playstation my reason for joining were the free demo disc, I remember pressing R2 and the tiles will flip over and reveal a code for extra demos like Fighting Force a fun beatem up I had the first Xbox too so im not bias I just like games bro
I got a PS1 with my first student loan cheque in September 1997 (having previously had a Commodore plus/4, a Commodore 64C, Sega Megadrive, Sega 32X). It was a big step for me, stepping away from Sega and choosing to NOT get a Saturn.
Although I've had plenty of other consoles since the PS1 (GameCube, Wii, Xbox/360/One), my heart belongs to PlayStation.
I've been to the midnight launch of PS2, PS3, PS4, and I fully intend on being amongst the first to get the PS5.
I had a PSP and barely touched it, but the Vita has been a staple of my lunch hours since launch. Hopefully I'll still be able to Remote Play from the PS5.
My first Playstation console i ever bought was the PS1, and it was amazing!! I'am 62 now and Playstation was a part of my life. I bought the PS2, PS3 and the PS4. The last console i will buy in my life will not be the Scarlett but the PS5. I love the first party singleplayergames from Sony, and boy they delivered and still are delivering them. O, i play online sometimes, but singleplayer games are my preferance. And i know that Sony will make them for years to come. Sony never disapointed me and thats why i never looked back. Call me a Pony i dont care. Playstation for life.....
PS2 was my first PlayStation console, after that I bought PS3, PSP and PS4 at launch. I also bought a PS1 and Vita later on. And I've already placed my pre-order for the PS5, can't wait!
Yea, Happy Anniversary! 25 is a big one. What are you going to do?!
I hope they release a 25th anniversary console.
Cheers PS!!!
