Sony may make nice electronics but not necessarily reliable.

Ask Altered how many PS1\'s he bought.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Why not ask me?
I bought my PSX in 1995.. A few years later it started acting funny, and I got it replaced (thanks to the very nice people at Sony Sweden)..

So that makes it.. One.. hmm two? Two PSXes.

Sony\'s electronics are overpriced.  Quality aside, you get way more for your money when you buy other brands.

My PS1 still works.  So I don\'t know about that.

This is true.  Sony is always the most expensive even with being not the best product most of the time.  I still love their consoles.:D

Oh, and I got my PSONE about a year after it came out and mine still works fine today.

The early models of PSX had some problems. Like some PS2s were diffect.

Sony products are alittle more expensive, but thats cuz they the best you can get. (ok, maybe not speakers.. but other stuff like Wega.. top of the line, MD ect.)

I wouldn\'t say Wega\'s are top of the line.  I\'d rather have a Toshiba and their cheaper.

My PSX still works. I gave it to one of my cousins when I got my PS2. I think I bought my PSX in 96.

Lol.  You get your Wega, it\'s sh!t for the amount you pay.  Do some research.  On second thought, get the Wega.  You\'re right, it\'s the bestest.

I just wanted to add that I\'ve had my PSX since 1996 and it\'s still working. Perfectly? - No, I have to set it horizontally to get it to read disks.. but it\'s not like a major problem and I didn\'t have to buy a new one. I bought one for my cousin on his birthday in 1997.. it also is working.. and perfectly.

Heh.. while it dosen\'t sound all that amazing, if you people only knew the kind of pure hell my PSX has gone through, you\'d understand just how solidly built this little tank is. Maybe I got lucky, since it seems if Altered yanks on the controller cord too hard it\'ll irreversably destory his PSX.. but I can honestly say that this thing stands head and shoulders up there with my TI/99 4A and Sega Master System as one of the toughest and longest lasting consoles I\'ve ever owned.
