WAs the ORIGINAL boxy PS1 actually being manufactured/produced/made / whatever! till december 2006? So you could buy a brand new ORIGINAL boxxy ps1 in 2006?!?!?! :'( In 2006 I had one original but that one I had had since 2000 and my uncles friend gave it to me back then... so it must have been a few years old????? XD
yes. It was till readily available - just like the PS2 wasn't officially discontinued until last year.
oh shit.... FML!!!!!! I could have bought my own original ps1 back in '06... but sadly I was 12 years old and really really stupid owning one from 2000 lol !!!! 1998/1999/2000 kind of sad thinking I could have bought one.... I remember a store selling them, but I didn't have any money and only had a SCPH-9002 which was 7-8 years older then the original ones being sold BRAND new in 2006! Also, rip PS2. 2000 - 2013.
Do you mean the larger gray PS1? Because they stopped making that before 2006 for sure. The PSOne replaced the Playstation model series SCPH-900x. PSOne was available from July 2000 to the end of 2006 apparently. So the original gray PS1 was probably phased out of retail channels by the end of 2000.
Yeah I ment the bigger one, the slim psone, I remember that one being available in 2006, i may have confused those two back in the day but I was asking about the larger ps1.
Ah! I see! Thank you so much, I'm glad I didn't miss them but yeah.. it says on Wikipedia that ps1 original large was made until dec 2006 it must be wrong. xD
Wikipedia is not the most solid of sources for information. Plenty of information on there is inaccurate, wrong, or biased.
You also often get the situation where people are making edits that replace correct information with incorrect information. I personally think there is a fatal flaw in Wikipedia - everything seems to be based on consensus and someone that has no knowledge of a given subject has just as much weight as an expert. This might work if your field is "{x} studies" where any opinion is pretty much equally valid, but falls horribly short in any domain where there really is a correct answer to most questions.
