Predictions
Edge Magazine made a wild prediction as to the PlayStation in January 1994
Or alternatively it could be white and fall to bit in 6 months? Hindsight eh?

I want more pix!
I love concept art!!! I prob shouldn't say this but I saw a mock-up (as I remember it was not just a shell) of the Nintendo PlayStation. It was the most horrible looking thing you ever saw. I'm pretty sure it was just a development model for the hardware but it was a box with a smaller rectangular one on top. All white, which most development boxes are BTW, the little box on top came off so you could insert a SNES cart. I don't recall if they kept the CD-caddy system, I just remember the loading mechanism was in the front not on top. I love Nintendo but the thing was stupid.
PS. It also had a LCD readout, but on the top.

Wanna know something funny? I know i have stated in the past that my release day ps2 still works and works great. I Still have a working refurbished SCPH-1001. lol. This however does not work great. The cd motor is loud and i have to play games with it on it's side or FMV skips. fun fun. thankfully my ps2 still works so i dont have to worry about my ps1 crappin out. That was the whole reason I bought a ps2, that and i didnt have a DVD player at the time.

That is a common SONY Problem. Many of the first released Playstations had those CD drive problems. The same goes for some series of the slim line Playstation 2 here in europe. I heard, that the Playstation 3 suffers from problems like this too.
I can remember, that many SONY CD Players bought by friends of mine, where the drive died step by step after 2 years.

Yes I did, sorry for my lack of clarity...but then, I only spotted it when you mentioned it. He meant the magazine (I reckon)

I do that with my launch PS2.3DO Experience wrote:Would it hurt anyone's feelings if I admit I have a PS2 I keep around just to beat on when I get frustrated with a game? It's in about a dozen pieces.
I have a spare slim for imports though so it's all good.
Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return.

too bad! and I have a Genesis I keep around for the same reason, but it's in far worse condition. *evil laugh*
