Happy 15th Birthday Playstation! 12/3/94-12/3/09

Japan, December 3rd, 1994. The Sony Playstation launched in Japan and as they say, the rest was history. Post your fondest memories of the Playstation here!

I love the logo!

I surely didn't see this one coming. I remember the deal that the nearest Toys-R-Us had at the time. Bring in 10 of the 16-bit games for trade and get a Playstation or a Dreamcast for $99.00. I think that the Playstation had been out for a while at that point because it had just dropped in price to $199.00. I started picking through my games trying to find some reason to get rid of some of them. (Looking back, I regret doing that today) I even went to the local Toy Store and picked up a sports title out of the bargin bin for $2.00 to add to my trade in games. I got my Playstation and went back the following week and got a Dreamcast. :lol Wow, those were good times.

I spent many long hours with Crash Bandicoot.

Where does the time go? :

I remember since my Dad loved racing games, he'd play it with me constantly on the PS1. We'd play for hours until my mom get mad at us. :lol A few times, he woke me up late at night just to play some. Fun times, I need to either a) Track a PS1 down or b) find the game on the PSN and buy another controller.
