My mom bought a used original playstation along with a few games for it when she found them cheap at a yard sale a year or two after the playstation 2 came out. It was supposedly for me, but I didn't use it much. My sister used it more, and each of my parents used it almost as much as I did. We pretty much forgot about it within a couple months, and I'm not sure were it is now.
I prefer to stick with a PC. I'm not a huge gamer, and I like to multitask.
