PSOne vs PSTwo
I was thinking of getting either a PSOne or PSTwo
PSOne- I would be able to play Gradius 1-2,Gaiden with no combatibility problems
PSTwo- Can play most PSX games apart from afew games, but also for Gradius 3-4, Gradius 5, Metal Slug and Street Fighter 2.
What about the console not having a fan?
Could I install one or just try to keep it as coll as possible?
Which one should I get?
I would have to get a pre-ownder PSOne but will it be easier to buy a pre-chipped one ala swapdisk, PSTwo I dont know much about mods.

I good price that is NeonNeon wrote:Asian ps2's are now $200 at play-asia, well worth the cost difference over the ps1 for the exclusives that it has.
Would I need a step down or something to be able to play inthe UK?
btw might seem abit anal but Pal/NTSC 50/60 Herts
The Dreamcast spoilt me by offering 60 Herts, I'm not sure about seeing those horrible twin black borders again.
I think a PSTwo will be my purchase
While here, What about a joystick for a first timer?
nothing too big, Is the Namce PS1 joystick that I've heard a good joystick in terms of a first timer and also size wise?
Re: PSOne vs PSTwo
In my opinion get a PS2, just think about the sweet Cave games. And all the nice Taito, Psikyo double packs and collections. Many of the PS1 games are also getting re-released or included on compilations for PS2. The minor compatibility issues in a few games, are not worth getting a PS1 for.
The probably cheapest way to play games from all regions, is just to buy a console from the cheapest possible local store. And then get it modified and you no longer will have to worry about regions..
As for joysticks, Horis real arcade pro would probably be a good choice.

Heh I'm not a big fan of Cave/Taito/Psikyo, so there's alot less software I need to purchase.visuatrox wrote:In my opinion get a PS2, just think about the sweet Cave games.

How big is the hori? from the screenshots It looks rather big, probably the size as most jotsticks but I'm a total novice with joysticks,
Yeah, the Hori RAP is a big, sturdy stick... meaning it's really bulky. The Namco Arcade Stick is great, and not only will it cost less, you'll save on shipping by getting one. While the Namco Arcade Stick doesn't have real arcade parts, they're still high quality and as a "first-timer" you won't notice a difference anyhow.
