| If true this is quite ironic because being able to be a media centre for a household is what propelled the sales of PS1 and PS2. |

| The bigger irony is that Sony and Philips worked together to create the CD-Audio specification. |

| Some people still use a PS1 for playing CDs. They came with a DAC that some people love. |

| This is also what pushed me to get a PS3 later in its lifetime : getting a game console, CD player and DVD + Blu-Ray player all in one box was pretty convenient. |

I appreciate what Toshiba was trying to do but it also felt like they were trying to cut-off the competition with a lower quality but cheaper product. |

| ▲ | Nursie a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | This is also what pushed a lot of people to get the PS3 earlier in its lifetime! Sure, it wasn't cheap at launch and it marked a leap in console prices compared to previous generations, but it was around the same price as a standalone Blu-ray player as those were just coming to market. So at that point, why not get the more capable console? |
