Unboxing the Original PlayStation: PlayStation 20th Anniversary

Woo-hoo! The original PlayStation launched in North America 20 years ago today, on September 9th, 1995. To commemorate the big day, we thought it might be fun to crack open a sealed original PlayStation system.

Let’s take a trip to a time before dual analog sticks and force feedback, when game saves were stored on tiny plastic cards, when a double-speed CD-ROM drive and 2MB of RAM were your ticket to the biggest gaming experiences possible. Gather ‘round to see what greeted gamers on September 9th, 1995.

0:12 "Here we've got a sealed unit" opens the box without a seal...

All Xbox fanboys say is "Halo, Gears and Forza"

At a Concert they're chanting: "Halo, Gears and Forza"
At a Church they're whispering: "Halo, Gears and Forza"
At E3 they're chanting: "Halo, Gears and Forza"
At Home they're chanting: "Halo, Gears and Forza"
At a Sport event they're chanting: "Halo, Gears and Forza"

All they have is these 3 games, nothing else matters.
