Sony hit peak aesthetics in the 2000's. Everything from them looked classy and utilitarian.
PSX paired with a KV-32HS510 would look very cy00t.

It doesnt work. Its kind of like the Xbox where the hdd is locked in a special way. I bet the only reason that is is the same reason theres not an SGI emulator; hackers want to cooonsooom the hardware so the prices of their devices increase. Its an actual problem too, you see I was talking to an insider on one of the dev servers and right when a team made progress they deleted the channel and made a new one so individuals working on mods were demoralized.

Japan was simply the testing grounds. If these expensive consoles sold well there, they would get sold around the world, but nobody wants to pay more than ~$300 for a console, and certainly not for addons, but they just kept trying.

So why aren't you retards calling the GameCube Dolphin? Or the original Xbox Midway? Before its launch people did refer to it as the PSX but everyone stopped when the final product name was announced and it launched. Nobody today refers to the GameCube as Dolphin, even though that's what literally everyone called it before release. You're retarded if you still use PSX to refer to the original PlayStation. It doesn't make you "cool", it just makes you come across as a bloody idiot.
