PlayStation brand celebrates 15th anniversary

I probably devoted countless hours a day of my childhood to TM2 alone and I doubled those hours with TM:Black.Here's hoping for 15 more years of great HQ gaming.

I hated the Playstation when it came out. I don't know why really, I guess I just didn't like change. Also I was use to cartridge based systems.

All of that changed when I went over a friends house and played Tekken!

I was a strict Nintendo family when the Playstation came out. My mother was actually a gamer, and she had the original NES, SNES, and N64 when it came out. It wasn't until my 10th birthday in 2000 that I approached my mother about wanting a PlayStation for my birthday.

Around that time I also developed a deep-seeded hate for Tomb Raider.

Bought the ps1 first day it came out. Played the hell out of Ridge Racer.

I've really gotta jump on the Sony bandwagon soon.

I've NEVER owned a Sony console. :(

For some reason, all my memories of the original PSone revolve around driving games... Motor Toon Grand Prix, Destruction Derby, Twisted Metal, WipeOut, Need For Speed, Porsche Challenge, Moto Racer - the system had tons of 'em.

As well as that horrible Road Rash sequel.

I remember my 15th bday... *sniff*

So much screaming. So much blood. I never thought I'd get over it.

*sobs uncontrollably*

Ive only ever owned a PSP (The Phatty) but I have to give props to Sony for launching a new platform in a time when Sega and Nintendo had market dominance.

I was ALL about Nintendo, until my friend brought his PS and NBA live 97 and Street fighter Alpha to my house...from then I was a fanboy, converting all my friends...then we lived happily ever after...to this day we still pwn n00bs, blow shit up and rank up together.

Okay, Sony you can go ahead and temporarily discount some of the GREAT PSN games instead of the mostly mediocre ones like you did for the Fall.

happy 15th birthday PlayStation! here's a bottle of rum and a dirty mag. just don't tell your mum i bought them for you.

OMG!! GT5 demo is coming dec 17!!!

Careful now, or you might give it the YLOVD. :p

I wonder how it would have turned out if Nintendo DID decide to work with SONY on a CD based game system all those years ago...

Happy Birthday Playstation and kudos to everyone who enjoy Gaming

I remember when I got a Playstation.

It was awesome.

That is all.

Pocket Station....

Man...that was hilarious. Really.

So many great memories with the PlayStation brand. I still remember the day I bought my PSX, freaking out when my Grandma was able to find a PS2 a few months after launch (they were basically impossible to find), camping out last year for the midnight launch of the MGS4 PS3 bundle, and when I finally bought a PSP earlier this year. Not to mention the countless hours I've spent with each!

It's sad to see that the PS3 has had some problems this gen (love it or hate it, you can't deny Sony's hit some bumps in the road), but here's hoping Sony gets things right from here on out :)

Love the logo!

Here's to another 15 years of Playstation!

*Raises Glass*

Whoa! Now that website isn't awesome.

Thanks for crusading against 2-D for 15 years, assholes.

I remember that decision I made Xbox or PS2... I was in Jr. High and getting tired of playing kiddie games on the gamecube. Socom2 pushed me towards getting the PS2, best console I've ever owned. Better then SNES.

Thank you Sony for taking gaming to the next level, a more serious and adult one. Before PS1, I was happy with my nintendo stuff..sure, but I could never fathom where gaming could and did go until PS1 showed me with games like MGS 1 and FF 7.

If not for them, gaming would not have taken off and would still be looked at as a kiddie hobby by just about everyone because of what Nintendo was doing.

they left out the PSX...the set top PS2.

@ why the downvote on Luna ? I thought it was funny, I kinda liked the sexual reference there. In case you guys missed its......
XD LMAO

I was 4 (1995) when I first got my PlayStation and since then I have owned every single Sony console since then, with the exception of the PocketStation and the PSX if that counts

I just bought my first Playstation (home) console. I've had a PSP for a while, but decided to upgrade to the full thing this Black Friday.
*looks at Playstation 3*
We're going to have some good times.

nice logo.

I remember the day my dad bought one home for me. I got Porsche Challange and Crash Bandicoot 2. Naughty Dog are still my favourite developer to this day so that speaks volumes. Highlights have been Ape Escape games, Uncharted games, SOTC and about another million more! Can't wait for the next fifteen years of incredible titles :)

Cheers, Sony! You caught a lot of flak (and made your share of mistakes), particularly this gen. but you make some damn fun systems! I like to PLAYstation.

I remember back in 1996 when my parents made me decide between the N64 or Playstation. I proudly choose playstation. I remember I would spend countless hours into collecting all the Gems in Crash Bandicoot and then there was GEX, which to this day is still a personal favorite. Then in 1997, my friend showed me FF7 and that changed my whole life and the lives of countless of my other friends. While I agree it isn't the BEST game in the world, but damn it I can't imagine how my life would be had I not forced my mother to spend $60 on that game when I was 8. Then my parents secretly bought the PS2 while I was away for that summer. My step-dad loves to play that thing, I have to replace the first one we bought. We've gone through atleast 3 different PS2 and I still have my original one. Then the first time I worked ever when I was 16 I spent all my earnings on the PSP which I still own today and use everyday. Last year I got a full time job and bought my PS3. Good times Sony.

HERE'S TO 15 MORE YEARS AND MORE!
