PSone 1001 model seems indestructible

Audiophile thing is out of date (i.e. its not as expensive to get something equal anymore - so the appeal isnt as high), they are also extremely common and worth next to nothing as assembler noted.

I have been selling modding ps1's for £9 and make no distinction between the "audiophile" and later revisions.

 

I'm also going to chime in here for interest in buying a working one. Looking to get launch versions of consoles.

Thanks.

 

I also might be interested in a Flat Rate box of these. Do you have all the hook ups?

 

If any have working lenses, I could take some of those.

 

Oh sorry, I missed the part where calling a console by the wrong name is funny.

Will add that to my repository of jokes to break out at the dinner parties.

Thanks

 

I'd love to know if it's the slim or the FAT ps1.

If it's the FAT one, I'd love to get one of the broken ones. I could even PAY some for it.

 

Ya he is freaking out more than likely.

 

The term PSX was used by the devs early on as a sort of acronym for PlayStation eXperimental - it caught on and everyone used it. I still refer to Gray models as PSX and the newer as PSOne.

But hey, each to his own...

 

It's an informal name. Not any different than how there was no 1st party console marketed or branded with names like Genesis 2 or SNES 2.

 

Nevermind. I just read on wikipedia that models up to 5001 were having issues with laggy fmvs..
That's no good, how am I supposed to play a game like Fear Effect or watch a movie like Welcome to collinwood?

 

He didn't say any of the things you said. Ps1 and psone are different. Heres me expecting you to know something about all this.

Only reason he's asking is because your "to avoid confusion" naming, is causing confusion.

 

PS one is not even a nickname. It's the official name Sony gave to the redesigned PlayStation.

 

Call the redesign - PSone

Call the previous model - Playstation

Call the DVR - PSX

Times have changed and the bickering about this is just stupid, come on guys.

 

PS1 was called PSX way before any DVR came along. I call the PS1 and PSOne for PSX and consider myself right in doing so. And I also call the games PSX games

 

Let's just call them by model number: "I have a bunch of games for my SCPH-7502 on the shelf!" Also, the only original PlayStation I'd gotten so far, that was (almost) completely dead, was a 1002. And the two with the broken drives I've got here are 1002s as well...

 

The drive is prone to failure in the scph-100x

 

There are two types of 1002, the launch ones are similar to the 1000 (i.e. they have the GPU that has banding issues).
