(unless maybe its called PlayStation suX :p)
We could just say PS.
I say PSOne. I like the sound and spelling of it.
Please point out the "1" for me in the PlayStation's name. None of my PlayStation games have that numeral. Sony only ever called it that in contrast to the PS2 and never before.Quote:

No I was calling it PlayStation of course because that is what it was called ;)
I then called it the PS1 when the PS2 came out, just like Sony did.
I certainly never called it the PSX because thats not its name. :p
PS1 is not its name either. :p
Of course not, it's a nickname. Like calling the Sega Power Base "Sega Master System" or "SMS".Quote:

Those of the inner circle who were there from the start embraced the codename PSX, for it is extreme with an X.
PSX 4 life.
I’m getting a little confused here. It is obvious that the PSX/PS/PS1/PSOne/PlayStation has a fantastic library of games covering just about every genre and trying to argue that it hasn’t is a pointless exercise. Strip away all the dross and there is still a superb library of titles to appeal to most tastes.
However this is no way reflects on the quality of the Saturn library. The two are independent. You can prefer one to the other regardless of the quality or quantity of the other.
Think of it like this. You are a big fan of fish but can’t stand steak. Your friend suggests going for dinner and gives you a choice of two restaurants. One of these is a small seafood restaurant, famed among those in the know for its specialist fish dishes. There isn’t a huge choice but some of the dishes on the menu are among your all time favourites. The other restaurant he suggests is a famous Steak House offering over a thousand variations of steak dishes. It has won awards for being the best steak house in the country and offers steak based starters, mains and desserts. There is no disputing the quality or quantity of the steak on offer. However the fish lover is likely to choose the first one with less choice.
(Obviously this analogy really needs the fish restaurant to offer slightly cut down versions of the steak dishes that are on offer in the Steak House and for the steak house to offer some seafood options too)
The PSX/PS/PS1/PSOne/PlayStation has lots of wonderful games and some truly magical hidden gems.
However this poll is which do you prefer. Not which one has the better library in terms of racing games or RPG’s etc. If your all time favourite game is Sega Rally then no amount of other racing games on an alternative system are likely to persuade you that you should prefer that system unless you prefer 1 (or more) of those racing games to Sega Rally. None of which reflects on the quality of those games, just the preferences of the individual.
People treat consoles with the kind of tribalism usually reserved for football (soccer) teams where a foul by the opposition is always a penalty and sending off but if it is their player the ref is a cheat/incompetent.
It isn't a choice of which has the bigger and/or better library but which library you prefer.
Dude, less making sense, more flaming ;)Quote:

This is exactly the problem, and what makes me cringe every time I look at the PS1 library. I have to sift through piles of oozing nastiness to find the solid library on the Playstation. By the time I'm done stripping away the crap I'm not even in the mood to play a game. Your restaurant analogy doesn't work, because I have to look at what I don't like on every shelf in every store with PS1 games, and I frequently only find what I don't want.Quote:

Huh? Like Mr. Smith said, if you're a Mega Drive fan you should HATE the Saturn. If anything the results are surprising. (Well, not really, because the Saturn is just cooler :cool:)Quote:
