Sony Ceases Production of PSOne

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday March 25, 2006 @03:23PM from the psnomore dept.

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."

ps2 not 100% backward compatible by tepples · 2006-03-25 16:10 · Score: 5, Interesting

get a freaking ps2 for 140 bucks.

Not entirely. Several PS1 games do not work correctly on the PS2. I'm guessing this PSP emulator won't be 100% compatible either, just as the Nintendo DS isn't compatible with link-cable-heavy GBA titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and Pokémon.
