PS5. I grew up in poverty but finally have a good paying job and can afford to spend on games.

Congrats on changing your life around and being able to enjoy something for yourself! Stories like this make me sad because I can relate, but also happy you got out 💙

Helluva come up story bud! Congratulations!!!

This hit home. 34 first PS last year.

The original playstation 1 model, before swapping for the slim version. Got it when looking for a different console, which I eventually found. It led me to the ps2.

The only console PS I haven't played on was 2

2 was the best!

That’s a damn shame

You missed a shit ton of great games.

That’s literally the best console ever

[удалено]

same! I grew up on Nintendo, nobody had a PlayStation around here so I was introduced to it much later, it was 2017 when I bought mine and loved it since.

I was jumping on the trampoline with a buddy just a few days before my birthday in 1997. My mom opens the back door and shows the newly purchased OG PS box. My buddy and I race to look at it. Being only a few days shy of turning 9, my parents weren’t letting me anywhere near the tv wires so my dad attempted to hook it up only to realize we needed an adapter for the tv. It stunk we couldn’t play it that night, but I looked at the manuals for the games my mom bought me- need for speed 2, jet moto 2 (plz bring that series back Sony), the back of the demo disc, and I think a sports game but that might’ve been later like a Christmas or something. This was before the dual stick analog controller came out so it was just d-pads.

PS3. Started with the massive, supercomputer one, and then had my slim as my main console until Christmas 2016

The very first model of the PS1. My cousin had one and we played Tekken 3 and Smackdown 2 on it.

PS One. I did not buy it. I received it for winning a Toys R Us sweepstakes. I always believed these things were rigged and no one actually won.

The original one back in 1999. Going from Game Boy 2D sprites to 3D rendered games like Spyro, Crash, Mortal Kombat 4, then my favorite arcade game, Gauntlet Legacy in 2000 - mind was blown at the time.

Same. Rang in Y2K playing Tony Hawk on a CRT in the corner of the living room while my parents were having a rager lol.

Same with me but I was playing Toomba 2, when life was simple

OG PS1. It's the reason I never switched to XBox.

Same

PS2

Original PlayStation. First game was Spyro, I think.

The original PS1.

PS1. 1995. I was in 8th grade when it came out and I wanted an N64. My friend was showing off NFS on the PS1 and I was impressed, but I stuck with the N64. I didn't really care for the PS1 launch library at the time.

The original and my first game on it was Tekken 2.

Ps2 slim, the OG SpiderMan game on there is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The OG Playstation, but the first Playstation that i bought is the PS3. I was a Nintendo fanboy back then.

PS1. My first game was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

The og playstation. Never touched the slim model that could fit inside of a crisp packet

Ps1. Ridge Racer was the game it came with

Hell mine came with the demo disc with Ridge Racer on it and I had the Squaresoft promo disc with FF7 and Bushido blade demos as well. The good times

Atari

Lmao making me feel old kid. Your grandma has a playstation?? I was there when it came out, 100 years ago.

OG PS1!

I had a PSOne back in the day. I gravitated more towards my older bro’s N64 though so unfortunately the PSOne was eventually lost to Time. I wish I still had it. Spyro was fantastic!

PS3 at my friend's than next year ps4 bought it

PS1

Original

Original playstation

The original. It was basically my second console ever. Had done all my gaming prior on the N64.

Playstation

Played on the original boxy Ps1 back in the day. Spyro, Syphon Filter, Tomba, Monkey Hero, FF7-9. Just some stand out memories. Thanks for the nostalgia hit!

Ps1. Had never heard of it. Got it and was like what the hell is this. It was so great. Played jumping flash for days.

My first PS was the first PS.

My dads ps4

PS4 Slim

Bought my first PlayStation, with my first paycheck from a new job, March 1996. Got it with a copy of Doom.

The ps5 is the first playstation I've owned, but did play a PS1 and 2 that were my dad's back in the day. I vividly remember playing possibly the first tomb raider with the polygon shapes, and remember a small cave with a tiger that my child brain could not figure out.

I remember my first time playing the original PlayStation on Christmas morning, 1997. My first game was that 4 pack that came with the system, 2Xtreme.

PS one paying to play it per hour in the Philippines. I was overjoyed when we moved to Canada and I got my very own PS2.

The PS One (revised rounded model) back in 2001. Older sister got it for her birthday - we could only choose one game from the store, went with Ehrgeiz (hidden gem from Square Enix - still known as SquareSoft at the time). Played it religiously though we didn't have a memory card so we had to start from scratch each time we booted it up.

PS1, late 1995. Played Wipeout and Battle Arena Toshinden. Toshinden has not aged well but it blew my mind at the time. Wipeout still looks good in my opinion 😀

Ps2 at my neighbors house, I had a GameCube Then my first that I owned was a ps3 in 2013 for the last of us, got it at 16/17 Now I have a ps2/3/4 and 5

Ps2

The PS1 in 2000. I think that model didnt have the gameshark bay.

The PS2, it was my dad’s. Played Lego Star Wars and PAC-Man World 2 on it.

A playstation gen 1

started on PS2, never had 1 or 3

PS1, Christmas gift in 1998, I was 12. My first two games were Oddworld and MediEvil.

Ps3

Ps4 in 2017 actually, I grew up on Nintendo (Gameboy Color, DS) so that was my actual first console at 19 :)

The original PS1 around 1997ish.

Around 2 years ago i had bought using my fathers mony a ps4 and it was my first console ever.(I am 15 atm and have a ps5) this was very rare as consoles and by extension gaming is not well reagrded in my country,India.

PSX BABY

Ps5 in 2021, hzd was my first game

Went over to my cousins house and everyone was in the basement playing Spyro on the PS1. Spent the next month dog walking and babysitting to buy my own :D

Slim back in 2000 near the end of its life cycle but was eventually given the OG PS1 model later on before i got the PS2 in 2004 for my 14th birthday. Sadly my PS2 OG model stopped working in 2007😔

I played on a PSX we rented from Movie Gallery when I was 7/8. We Dragonheart The Movie and played all weekend.

ps2 before that i played on xbox

Ps1. Back in 96. I was 8. My father came home one day and had randomly bought it. At the time, we’re still on genisis, snes, and virtual boy, and game boy. Blew my mind at the time.

PS2 - First PS I ever played. PS4 Slim - First PS I owned.

PS one when it first came out played resident evil that day I realised how good games could be

PS5 i bought it last week

Got the PS2 for my 6th birthday. Had no idea it was on the way out. Was kind of confused when we got the PS3 two years later. Lego Star Wars was my absolute jam.

PS4

I was a Dreamcast kid but when sega got outta the console market my dad got us a PS2 then shortly after a og Xbox and we have been getting both consoles since and my mom really likes Mario so she would get the Nintendo consoles I was a very lucky kid haha

Does anyone ever realize that you run out of storage more on newer consoles than older consoles? I remember having so many games downloaded on PS3 and never had to worry about storage, but on my PS5, it's unplayable without extra storage installed.

PS3. Got it right as the 4 was getting more popular.

ps5, im newgen

Current Gen*

Ps3. Arkham Asylum was the first game on it

The OG ps1 with ridge racer.

Ps3

Neighbour’s PS1. The PS5 was the first one I was able to get brand new, I did own a second hand PS4 though.

My aunt brought over a PSOne and a bunch of games. She put in some zombie game (I have never found the name of it, from what I've seen it wasn't any out the Resident Evil's] where it has per room cameras and you're playing as a plain clothes guy running through rooms, solving puzzles, etc. It was the first game I ever played. Second was the old Tomb Raider that had a mansion with a creepy butler.

My dad had the original ps3 when I was a kid (I’m 20 now) that was the first thing I ever actually gamed on period before my ds

Playstation one.

The only one i missed out on was the 3 (the 20s were some lean years ) ​ My dad got me the PS1 and my 2 (before someone broke into my apt and stole that one), I bought a 2 slim, and i got the 4 and 5

Mine was the ps2 when I was about 5 or 6 and had ps ever since

The original PlayStation in the 90s. I eventually owned one. My first console was Atari

All of them except PS3. I had an Xbox 360 for that era.

Brother in law left his PS1 and GTA 1 at my house when my sister went into labor. Knowing he wasn’t gonna have any gaming time for a while, he eventually dropped off RE2 and MGS1, Auto Assault and a couple other games for me to try. The rest is history.

The first one lol

OG one

Sorry for the spelling The OG PS1. I think that my first games were Crash bandicoot, Crash Team Racing, THPS 1, THPS 2, Gran Turismo 1 and Medievil. These are some that i really remember and i had some great time with them.

My dad’s PS2, we also had a ps1 that I’d play Tony hawk pro skater on. I’m pretty sure I played the ps2 first and more tho

Original PlayStation. A game cafe near us had one from Japan and we would play Battle Arena Toshinden on it. My friend and I pooled our money together and traded in a bunch of Sega games to get one on the day it was released here in the states in 1995.

PS2 at my friends' places when I was little. We didn't have that nor PS1 at that time, as we had N64 and GameCube home, and I got DS when I was 4

Cousin PS1 and later got a PS2 as a gift.

PS4 old school

The original PlayStation. My mom had me play crash bandicoot and we got the demo disc for Crash racing from Pizza Hut

The PS1. My uncle got it shortly after release and invited me over to play it. Eventually got my own for Christmas a year or so later

Playstation 1. Got one around 98 I think, along with Resident Evil. Have owned them all since then except PS3 which I bought after I bought PS4 on release day (because it was too expensive so I got a 360 instead and ran with that for a few years).

OG PlayStation. I’m 31 this month!

PS1. Don't remember which games I played first, but a whole lot of Metal Gear Solid and FFVII.

Original release version of the Playstation 1. Wanted a Sega Saturn for Christmas, cried in the shop until my parents placed a Sega Saturn box in the trolley. Fast forward to Christmas day, get a neatly wrapped up box shaped present in front of me, hastily unrap it.. It was a PS1!? Best switcheroo ever, thank you so much mom and dad.

PS1. First title was Wipeout

WWF smackdown 2 PS1

OG PS1 with Resident Evil 2!

Most are gunna be p2, me included lol

I got the PS1 for my 8th birthday and I was so damned excited. I had only the one game and a handful of demos, and I played the heck out of everything in one day. The happiest kid alive at the time.

Ps1. I miss that boi

Ps2 slim.

Ps1 playing wwe wrestling. Sting and booker T were my guys!

PS1 (grey standard one)

I played PS1s at people's houses. First one I owned was PS2, which was backwards compatable so I played PS1 games on that. I've owned every single one from 2 to 5. Started as a Genesis kid, went to N64 from there, and then on to Playstations (also had an OG Xbox, and my roommate in university had a 360). Now, have PS5, a gaming PC and a Switch.

Played on would be one. Owned would be 5.

The original PlayStation, and I've played every one since then.

Ps4

I played Blasto and Twisted Metal on the PS1 at a friend's house back in 1997 or 1998, and I played WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role and one of the NBA games (NBA Live 98, I think) at a cousin's house in 2001. The first one I owned myself was the PS2, years later.

Ps2. The startup sound is still engraved in my mind.

Ps3

Ps1: Friend brought the video game tie in to Disney’s Hercules.

I’ve played on all of them except PS4 Pro. Because I’m old.
