The PSX start-up is god tier. I get chills every time.

The PS2's boot screen is puzzlingly bad. Who thought rotating transparent cubes and colored dots leaving trails atop a black and blue void with a bland sound effect was a good idea? The PS3's orchestra warm-up sound is pleasant enough. Haven't seen the PS4 start-up yet.

>rotating transparent cubes

Those cubes in the beginning actually represent a game you've played on a particular console. The higher the pillar is, the longer you've played it.

After I learned about this fact, the PS2 start-up doesn't seem so bad.

Saturn boot-up was way better IMO. Playstation one was just a THX sound effect with two triangles falling into space. The friggin Super Nintendo could've done that.

On the Saturn, you have your TV explode into glass pieces that float around in space and then form the Saturn logo in a blinding lens flare effect.

The PS1 splash screen music sounds a bit scary though, but that may just be because I associate my PS1 with being the first time I was scared by video games because of Resident Evil 1 and Silent Hill 1.

Yes, certain magazines abbreviated the Playstation to PSX when needed. But absolutely no one ever referred to it aloud as a Pee Ess Ex. If they did they would have been laughed at like a retard.
I was a teen in the nineties, the term Playstation sufficed.

Now that there are different numbered Playstations released we retroactively refer to the 1st Playstation as PS1. How fucking hard is that?
We get it that some oldfags try to impose their self declared superiority by forcing this PSX shit because some magazines used it but you can drop it guys. It's outdated, it's redundant.

Indeed. No one ever said it aloud. But that doesn't mean anything here where we are communicating in text. We still aren't saying it out loud. We're typing it, which is the context it was always seen in, in printed text.

>PSX was the nickname used internally at Sony when it was still in development.

Because it's short for PlayStation eXperimental. Upon release, the PlayStation was no longer experimental or in development.

Since Sony eventually actually came out with a piece of hardware called the PSX, calling the PlayStation the PSX is inaccurate.

It doesn't matter what "MUH MAGAZINES" or "MUH FRIENDS" called it in the 90s. It isn't the 90s anymore, it's 2014.

It is simply the PlayStation, PS, PS1, or PSone if talking about the redesign.

My first post in this thread. My problem with calling the playstation a ps1 is because I feel that saying ps1 eludes to the psone. Out loud in conversation it sounds the same. I'm 25 and my older brother who had to have been 20 at the time, in like 96 when he bought his playstation. I remember my friends and I all calling it the psx, and when the psone came out, that was THE ps1, so it's annoying to me to have to ask for clarification when I'm talking with someone.

Pro tip: No one gives a shit about your opinion either.

It's probably just a regional thing really. I mean I'm from Ohio, I bet out west people had different slang for video games then we did here. And up in Canada I'm sure things have different terms occasionally.

I don't know why either side of this argument is so angry about it. Who cares what we call a piece of arbitrary hardware that in the grand scheme of things amounts to a worth of null?

Seems to be an issue because there are two sets of experience- those that lived through the era and use terminology they remember from the time, and those who did not and get their information from Wikipedia.
The latter side of the argument has realized that their lack of experience and incomplete source lends them no credibility, so they've resorted to pretending to have lived through it so they seem an authority, combined with fierce hyperbole and straw man to win what really is an argument of inconsequential pertinancy.

The former side of the argument has begun to lose their god damn minds because they woke up in fucking crazy bizarro world.

PSX is what every damn magazine called the Playstation back in the mid-90s. At one point, most of them had a brain wave and asked "where does the X come from anyway?", and they just started calling it PS instead, to avoid confusion.

I still have that issue of the local gaming mag (576 Konzol) where a reader asked why they call it PSX instead of PS, and the head editor basically said "I have no idea, but I've started calling it just PS for a while to avoid confusion".

Pretty sure the X comes from some prototype name, Play Station X or so.

In Russia, we just called the stupid thing a "Sony," kind of like people worldwide used to refer to NES/SNES as "Nintendo" and the Megadrive, "Sega."

I remember a few mags calling the PSOne "PSX" later on, and everybody being a bit confused. Then, when looking things up online became widespread, everyone found out that it's in error, and forgot about it

Meanwhile, on the late 90s Internet the thing was called "PS." When PlayStation 2 came out, it became knows as PS1. Occasionally people called it the "PSOne." Only dumb fucks call it the "PSX" now, so I obviously side with people saying that, and we _are_ in the right.

Not sure where you are from, but everyone in person where I'm from called it the Playstation. There was no need for a number and extra "x" was pointless.

We get it, the x was there when it was a prototype. After the full product is released you drop the prototype/development name.

Magazines don't suddenly become some authority in what's it's called.

IIRC Square was just dicking around with concepts on their brand new shiny SGI system, and they used the FF6 characters because... they weren't actually making a game, they were just getting used to the system.

This is why people get so ass blasted about this.
In the past it may have been shown as PSX, but once there really was a PSX released it creates confusion.

Sort of like the final fantasy III was really FFVI. You look like a fool if you keep calling ff6 the third game in the series. It doesn't matter what happened in the past. We use to think the earth was flat, once we figured out it wasn't did we keep saying it was flat? I say this as a man who was 20 at the release of the console. I always called it either "playstation" or "sony". No one said psx in person out loud.

>but I'll still call them FF3/DW under the right context
In the context where it is important to stress that you're talking about those particular versions, like when you're talking about sales numbers of the Western original releases, it would be the correct way to call those games by their names on release in that region.

Otherwise, you will be wrong.

Here is an example. Calling Contra "Probotector" is only OK if you need to talk about the European versions in particular. Referring to Contra as "Probotector" when you're talking about the games in general simply because you lived in Europe in the 90s would be incorrect. If a person corrects you, they will be right.

After the psx was put out its name became synonymous with the ps2. I'm sorry you are stuck in the past and can't adapt one fucking abbreviation because 'muh nostalgia, muh gamer mags'.

But they should be taken seriously when you're arguing about PS1 or PSX. The fact that it was recognized as the PSX by gaming magazine showed it had wide spread recognition. The reason gaming magazines did it was because the real name was PSX, not PS1, PSX. End of discussion.

the Playstation came out in the era before the internet. when you wanted gaming info, you had to pick up a magazine. since the gaming press often referred to the Playstation as "PSX" anyone who regularly read the mags would do the same.

it doesn't matter what Sony intended. Sony didn't come to your house, every month, telling you which games to buy, or what the names for the systems were. The press decreed it be so, and so, it was.
