Sony Ceases Production of PSOne

Gamespot has the news that Sony is no longer manufacturing the PSOne. From the article: "Despite the news, Sony representatives noted today that the end of production does not necessarily mean the end of availability. PS hardware and software are still selling in countries around the world. Even if original PlayStation systems and games are becoming slim pickings in the US, gamers likely won't be going without for long. As part of its PlayStation Business Briefing 2006, Sony last week announced that it is working on an emulator that would allow gamers to play PS titles on the PSP."

    Sony last week announced that it is working on an emulator that would allow gamers to play PS titles on the PSP.

    Reminds me of the old technical support story of the person using a pair of scissors to make the 5.25 inch disk fit the 3.5 inch drive.

    I think it would be even cooler if they just came out with an even smaller version. Like, a watch or something. That would be hawt.

    How come the headline isn't "Sony announces a PSOne killer"?

    No fooling, word to the warning though, if you cast Omnislash at night it's wise to close the lid otherwise you'll soon feel like you're in a absurd 80s disco.
