The Sony PlayStation truly shines with 3D-rendered action games, such as Tomb Raider and Spider-Man. These and other 3D-based titles place players in the middle of elaborate gaming environments that take full advantage of the system's ability to render up to 360,000 polygons per second. The PlayStation also has the capability to display 16.8 million colours simultaneously and can support full-frame video playback at 30 frames per second. In addition to impressive graphics, the PlayStation also offers CD-quality sound. Each PlayStation disc has the capacity to store up to 650 MB of data--significantly more information than can be stored on cartridge-based games. As an added bonus, the PlayStation will even play your favourite music CDs (accompanied by a selection of cool graphics). Less

Isn't the Greatest MP3 or Movie Player, Load Times, Price

Yes
The handheld market, for as long as I've been paying attention, has always seemed to be on lockdown. Countless companies managed only abismal success, though it didn't always seem like they were prepared enough. This is until Sega hit the scene, and created the Game Gear which became the most...

The Trove of Next Gen Consoles on the way
Recommended it?
Yes
Playstation is one of the best video games systems out there on the market today even as I speak even though the PS 2 is already out.
Basically what makes any system great is the games (and not the technical specs, which are often part of the HYPE machine you see with every new console...

Pros
game selection, controller, new games are STILL being released
Cons
graphics are kind of outdated
Recommended it?
Yes
Back in the early 90's, most of the time when you'd hear about Sony, you'd think TVs, stereos, etc. Back when the SNES reigned supreme, near the end of its domination because of aging graphics and technical stuff, Sony and Nintendo were striking a deal to create a CD based add-on to the SNES...
