/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5637175
It's PSX. Sony even styled it as the PSX. The PS1 doesn't exist, the PSone is just a slim PSX, released when the PS2 was out - hence the one. PSX

>>5637176
I know the devkit refers to it as PS-X internally, but the console was never officially referred to as the PSX, outside of maybe prerelease promotional stuff. The abbreviation stuck around for whatever reason though, even my dad was calling it the PSX.
When I first heard about the PSX DVR from an issue of Game Informer around 2003/2004, I was a bit confused at first, since we always used to call the original PlayStation PSX.

>>5637176
Galse. It's Playstation et that's it!

The PSX is its own system, only desperate boomers refer to the PS1 as PSX (similar to that one Sega System autist). The term is irrelevant in a post-PS2 world.

>>5637175
I think it’s a regional nomenclature thing. Where I lived it was just called “the playstation”, but then when PS2 came out everyone called it “the PS1”. My first time ever hearing the term psx was when I was reading an article about the PS2 dvr in Japan called the PSX. I never heard of someone calling a PS1 a PSX until coming to this site. I have seen that over in the UK magazines were calling it that, so I think a lot of Britt posters here call it that.

>>5637195
>only desperate boomers refer to the PS1 as PSX
>The term is irrelevant
Is it irrelevant or not?

>>5637176
hmm, weird I don’t see PSX anywhere on my PlayStation, it’s not on the box either, and all my game cases say PlayStation on them. It’s a scooby doo mystery here folks!

>>5637175
Real talk time to add up all the facts.

>>5637176
>>5637181
These posts are both true. The main reason the PSX name persists today is because Western magazines of the time used it often both before and after the system's release.

The PS1 name became popular after the announcement (but before the release) of both the PS2 and the PSone (the mini console).

The PSX DVR's name confused some people in a similar way that the Xbox One's name did: People had been using that unofficial name for something else and the manufacturer was effectively saying "it was never really meant to be called that and now we're officially using that name for something else"

>>5637205
Nah, it's an American thing.

>>5637207
Since the only people who call it "PSX" are desperate boomers who say "MUH MAGAZINES"... yes, it is an irrelevant term, it's PS1 nowadays and it always will be from now on.

>>5637248
Imaging being this mad because a name for Playstation is older than you are.

>>5637175
Alright. How are you going to stop me from calling it the PSX?

>>5637251
Funny how /vr/ makes fun of the Sega System sperg but then acts the exact same way with the PS1.

>>5637278
Sega System Sperg is the same guy who is mad people still use PSX. Sega System is just his strawman.

>>5637278
take your dos-rom and sega system posting over here >>>/v/

>>5637294
/vr/ is just as bad as /v/ don't kid yourself.

>>5637302
because of retards like you, yes.

>>5637290
But the PSX is the irrelevant name that spergs use, not the other way around.

>>5637305
Last time I checked, I didn't make any of the shitty contrarian threads that make this place more obnoxious than /v/.

>>5637306
Nah, it's still relevant since most any information I want about the Sony Playstation console that was released and sold in the mid 90s is usually listed under PSX.

That's cool. I want to die.

>>5637312
So irrelevant to everyone without HOCD then?

>>5637315
I don't play mobas sorry.

>>5637318
That's just steroid-induced manlets, not HOCD victims.

>>5637319
Don't know what game you're talking about then.

>>5637181
Almost everyone called it a PSX back then if for no other reason than it rolls off the tounge better than just PS. And the term PS1 wasn't really used yet because people didn't expect the next system to just be called PS2, system names tended to be more creative back then.

Ok so PSX was the name for the system early on. Like the early years 94/95/96. Sony probably didnt like that the videogame magazines called it the PSX. I actually like PSX. It sounds more intriguing than playstation. Which sounds downright idiotic whe you think about it. So i will continue to call it the PSX. Just because PSX sounds nice. PSX has a nice ring to it. Which is why PSX has... PSX and therefore PSX , after PSX, PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX PSX

>>5637175
it's literally written inside the console, in BIOS. It's written PSX.

Who the fuck cares, it's PSX

>>5637476
already been said, slowpoke.

>>5637205
this. Never heard PSX until i got on the internet. Was always the PS1 here. People also didn't differentiate between ps1 and psone

>>5637195
Well duh but this board has a higher percentage of 30 plus year olds than most. I grew up referring to it as the PSX and you whippernappers can’t make me stop, so nyah!

>>5637175
Never heard anybody refer to it as psx until always seeing it on the internet years later, I always assumed it was a Euro thing. It especially doesn't make sense since, what I always knew it by: ps, is one letter less and more convenient to write. So why even add an extra letter when abbreviating the name, it doesn't make any fucking sense. It would be like adding a letter to the end of NES.

>>5637603
American here. Plenty of gaming mags and 90s IGN/Gamespot had writers that referred to it as the PSX when the fifth gen was current.

>>5637617
These aren't zoomers. They're people from un-American countries trying to dictate our past.

>>5637621
No, the ones trying to force us to call it PS1 are definitely zoomers who didn't experience the '90s.

>>5637175
When i was younger i thought "PSX" was referring to the PSone while "PS1" referred to the original Playstation model. PS1 is the correct term for the system. "Playstation X" doesn't exist and anyone using "PSX" is wrong.

>>5637175
>not calling it just PS

PS1 is incorrect unless you're talking about the slim version. The original PS didn't have a 1 in the name.

>>5637669
Yeah but phonetically three letters just sounds better. Hence magazines in the 00s calling the GameCube GCN instead of just GC.

>>5637674
This. When typing PS is fine, but in speach saying PSX was more natural so it's what most people did. I still call it that most of the time.

"Xbox One" really pissed me off because it meant I had to switch from "Xbox 1" to "the original Xbox" when referring specifically to the Xbox.

>>5637278
>>5637290
Wtf is "Sega System"?

>>5637684
I started calling it Xbox Zero to refer to the first Xbox.

Sounds pretty badass if you ask me.

>>5637559
>Was always the PS1 here.
Why the fuck would anyone call it that? Did you call the NES the NES1 or Nintendo 1 too?

He's clearly young enough that by the time he was aware of and talking about game systems the PSOne was already a thing. Otherwise yeah, it would make no sense since systems weren't named like that in the pre-PS days.

Was the "X" added to differentiate it from the original [Super Nintendo] Play Station?

I call it a PlayStation. No amount of pissing and moaning is ever going to get me to call it a PSX. I just don't give a shit. If I mention I'm playing a PlayStation, I'm playing a fucking PlayStation, not a PlayStation X. Take your magazines, take your dumb press quotes and stick them up your fat sweaty ass. Same shit for XBox, I'm playing an XBox, if I'm playing a 360 or the current gen I'll fucking specify. Can we lay this argument to rest now? Call it whatever the fuck you want. Whining about the PlayStation being abbreviated PS1 or PSX is literal autism. Now can we get a real fucking retro thread going on this board?

>>5638958
I disagree.

>>5638958
The OP is about not using the period correct abbreviation PSX, not about making you use the term, lil zoom

>>5638271
>pirate xbox
Nice

>>5637175
was that thing buried for 20 years or something?
Anyway back in the day we just called it the "play", in my coutry at least (Chile). A few years later (early 00s), when the PS2 was out and we got tired of calling it the "play 2" we started calling it the "play" and the term "psx" was adopted for the original one (it already existed but didn't catch on until then)

>>5637937
>>5637940
But did they use that term in reference to the SNES add-on ("Play Station" or perhaps "PlayStation") also, or was that added only after they began designing what became the PS(X) of this timeline?

>>5638931
Taxes

Sony should call the PS 5 the Playstation X

here the guy with his favourite psx game that says for PSX onry?

>>5637694
>Why the fuck would anyone call it that? Did you call the NES the NES1 or Nintendo 1 too?

You try to argue in favor of PSX and not PS1, based on what it was originally called during it's lifetime..... Then immediately shoot yourself in the foot by trying to compare to the "NES".

Nobody ever called it the NES until well after the N64 was already out.

No matter how much I agree with you that it should remain the PSX, your arguement lost all validity once you said NES.

>>5639767
Nintendo Power must have referred to it as the NES, no?

>>5637175
We called it "Playstation" or "PS", but always wrote it down as "PSX". It's kinda weird.

>>5637892
Alright, who actually pronounced NES/SNES as words instead of just saying the letters? I've always called them by their individual letters.

>>5639897
My friends and I pronounced them as words. It’s strange to me that someone would say the letters individually lol

>>5639897
it's a fucking ness

>>5637175
'PSX' is just a version of the original Playstation that could play DVDs.

It is NOT interchangeable with Playstation 1 or PS1.

>>5639930
See >>5637834. If you were born in the early to mid-80s, chances are pretty good you saw gaming magazines and websites referring to the PlayStation as the PSX when abbreviated.

>>5638586
PSX != PS-X

PSX was an internal sony code name for the console

I recognized PSX is a correct term, but I still call it PS1. Fyte me.

>>5639943
So how did the term come about?

>>5639978
Like others have said it was what Sony called it internally for whatever reason so it kind of stuck with gaming journalists and thus stuck with gaming magazine readers of the time.

>>5639930
The PSX was actually a digital video recorder with the PS2 hardware included. Fun fact: the PSX was the very first Sony product to feature the XrossMediaBar interface.

>>5639916
Never, it will always be N.E.S. for me.

I am talking about the PlayStation, and its internal designation/moniker of being PSX, which was a potential name for the US release of the sony system. The "PSX" you are referring to happened 7-8 years after the release of the original PlayStation.....long after many of us (myself included) refer to it as the PSX. Also, consider the fact that the PS2 DVR with the same name was never an international release. The ONLY people who can be concerned by the PSX (ps2 model) are the Japs.

You're absolutely retarded. It was called "The Nintendo" to everybody old enough to actually remember those days.

In fact all game systems were Nintendo's to a few people.

>>5640664
The very first issue of Nintendo Power calls it the NES. What else you got?

>>5640664
>It was called "The Nintendo" to everybody old enough to actually remember those days.
>actually

Unit specifically calls itself "Nintendo Entertainment System". NES is an abbreviation of its name, and was common vernacular to anyone who is old to remember those times. Also, find a new word to spice up your sentences. It won't make you look like you have anything more than a room temp IQ, but at least it will be more palatable to those of us who have more than a GED.

It was called "The Nintendo", and then "The Original Nintendo" after the SNES came out. No one called the Game Boy "The Nintendo Game Boy", nor the "NGB". People still, to this day, can't even agree on if NES should be pronounced as an acronym or a initialism, so fuck off with your "common vernacular".

>>5637834

Why even do this on such a slow board?

The console is called the Playstation. Not the Playstation 1 or the Playstation X. And "Playstation" is one word.

Abbrebiate it as "P".

>>5638958
Everyone in this thread is an autistic moron pretending to have lived when these systems were out.

The original Playstation was abbreviated "PSX" and spoken "Playstation." The written and spoken abbreviation "PS1" did not come into common usage until well after the PS2 was released, and when you think about it with half a brain that makes sense because without a PS2 you would not call something PS1. No one spoke it as "PSX" because it has the same amount of syllables as "Playstation."

The original Nintendo Entertainment System was abbreviated "NES" and spoken "Nintendo." Again when you think about this for half a second, since it was the only Nintendo system in existence at the time, it was the "Nintendo." And since "NES" has the same amount of syllables, no one called it by its written abbreviation.

>>5641201
I called it PSX back then and still do, autismo. Deal with it.

>>5641187
Incorrect. PlayStation is spelled with inter-capitalization so it’s at least PS but PSX sounds better to me.

You are right, it doesn't even say PS or PS1 on it so all the terms are incorrect.

>>5641479
Nope, born and raised in NY. Do you not remember that every TV ad either started/ended with a "Playstation" statement in that weird robotic-ish voice? The system was almost universally called the "Playstation" when spoken, even though it was abbreviated PSX in publications.

We called it "Firstendo" round these parts. Bit down the river, them weirdos called it "Oldtendo". I hear a tale, way up by the north pole, the Eskimo peoples of the boreal valley called it "Grandfather Ninty" or some such.

At the end of the day though, we can all go home to our young'ns and wives and play that one game that all over the worldm no matter where you go, everyone says the same. Gyromite.

There is no way anybody on this board who is old enough to have been around back then used to call it psx when talking to other people. There's no way you would go to school and hear kids say psx. You can pull out and random one off forum post or the developmental name for the system that a magazine mentioned once or twice, but that wasn't a thing in normal day to day society and you're being very dishonest to pretend it ever was until more recent times.

It says PSX on the bottom of some of my PS1 jewel cases

I have never once heard ANYONE call it a PSX and I'm sure I heard many, many people say 'Playstation' in the era. And everyone started calling it 'PS1' as soon as PS2 was announced. No one really recognized the PSone as a special name unique to that device, it was just 'that new smaller PS1' seen in the same light as the toploader released at the end of the NES' (called 'Regular Nintendo' by real people btw) run.

>>5643327

>magazines

>>5643432
Listen here, anon. When we discuss things here, we're primarily referencing first world culture. Video game magazines were a big industry in the 90s for those of us in North America, Western Europe and presumably Australia.

It's also worth pointing out that the internet had a very tiny reach prior to '98 when fixed-rate ISP costs caught on and still would reach a minority of PlayStation users after that anyway.

The only time I ever saw 'PSX' was on the covers of magazines, or the one time i saw it in an AOL chat. I actually remember asking the guy 'what does the 'X' stand for' and he said "idk lol'

Never ever once heard 'PSX' spoken.

>>5643450
Oh, also: I'm aware that the PS1 had a very long life in places like South America, but we're mostly talking about when it was a current generation console.

There's a difference between boomers and boomers being difficult because they desperately want to cling onto irrelevant shit.

>>5643556
Still though, every time this thread comes up, people try to claim that people never called it PSX. They deserve to get firmly proven wrong by those of us that were old enough to experience that era.

>>5643556
>OP makes a thread saying its an incorrect term that shouldn't be used
>gets utterly BTFO
>now its boomers are clinging on to the term

>>5637175
PSone

>>5643556
Who's clinging to anything we're just talking about how the system was referred to in it's hey day.

>>5637175
psx?
who cares?
I call it... just get a ps2 already!

aaaaahahahahahaaaa

>>5637834
Thanks, I love it.

>>5637834
zoomers need to resort to photoshopping now to carry on that blatant lie?

>mods still haven't deleted obvious shitposting thread
Do mods even realize people mislabel their reports as CP solely because they don't respond to most any other report reason?

>>5637175
>"PSX" is a stupid and incorrect term
Kys. PSX was always used to refer to this console. I guess it depends when and where you grew up.

>>5643803
>PSX was always used to refer to this console.
Fact

>>5643812
No, that's wrong! The GOD OF GAMING Jeff Gerstmann said so! Delete that! Delete that!

>>5643698
Dude I report things properly and they gt dealt ith all the time. Putting the wrong label just makes them ignore it lol.

>>5643698
If you mislabel something, they'll just ignore you and even give you a warning instead.

>>5638206
No, that image got made because the OP troll poster kept making these threads.

>>5639072
That's the troll. It's always been the meta troll about this shit.

>whining and complaining about people using PSX
>pretending people are upset about people not using PSX

>>5641619
I mean, I don't really need to explain the picture. Instead, I think you need to explain your reading comprehension because you can't understand the distinction between written abbreviation (PSX) and spoken term (Playstation).

>>5644825
Not him but are you seriously trying to say no one said "PSX" out loud? That's a tall claim.

>>5644828
You tell me. Did I ever write that in my post?

>>5637175
It's called the PlayStation not the PS1 or PSX just PlayStation
It's called the Famicom, not the NES just Famicom
It's called the Super Famicom, not the Super NES, not the SNES, not the Super Nintendo just Super Famicom
It's not called the Turbo Graphics 16, it's called the PC Engine
It's not called the Sega Master System, it's called the Mark III
It's not called the Sega Genesis it's called the Sega Mega Drive

>>5644831
I didn't read the reply chain but that's what your post I replied seemed to imply. If not then whatever.

>>5644841
I've personally never heard "PSX" spoken by a live human being and I was 15 when the console was released, but there seem to be plenty of people ITT claiming it was common usage.

>>5644835
You just went off the rails here.

It was spoken:
> Playstation
> Nintendo, later original Nintendo or old Nintendo when the SNES was released
> Super Nintendo.
> That $400 system used to play Bonk's Adventure that no one's parents can actually afford.
> Sega
> Genesis or Sega, the former if you owned an SMS. The latter was common because few people had an SMS compared to the NES.

Also the NES was so popular that adults would frequently call all video games "playing Nintendo," regardless of system.

>>5644850
Re read what I said
It's not SNES it's super Famicom
The PC Engine outsold the Mega Drive
SMS? You mean S&M? Oh wait you meant the Mark III
Dub fags are a cancer

>>5644842
And it's fine to say you never heard it spoken, so long as you're not one of the folks in the thread using that as evidence that no one did. The same with "ess en ee ess" and "snes" it was probably regional and dependent on the people you engaged with at the time which one was more common. I was 20 when the PlayStation launched and many of the people in my classes and that I hung out with me included referred to it as PSX. Personally I think because it rolls off the tounge better. Though I would say that by the time the PS2 was on the horizon PS1 started to become more common.

>>5644850
Psssst I think you're biting bait friendo

>>5644861
How is it bait? That's what they're called

>>5644865
Lol

>>5637686
The back of some Sega Master System games say "For use only with the Sega System" on the back, so there's an anon who insists that "Master System" and "Sega Mark III" were made up terms.

It was always the PSX.

Why there is always people trying to change the past. Are you jews doing practices for the future?

>>5644850
>EVERYONE CALLED THINGS THE SAME THING I DID REEEEEEEEEE

>>5644850
I knew it as the NES because I subscribed to Nintendo Power and pronounced it NESS. Only dumb kids called it “DA NINTENDO”
