I bought every Playstation Ever. 

This is my first "Gaming" video in about 4 years! Do let me know if you want to see round 2 for this series! To see me buy the strangest tech on the entire internet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TqOmtTAMRY.html

You forgot to mention the Ps2 console was the first one that could play DVD movies and TV shows. It's what made it feel more like a home entertainment centre than just a game console.

I can't believe you didn't mention the DVD player in the PlayStation 2. It is undeniably the reason why it's sold so well. DVD players were really expensive at the time so you could get a game console and a DVD player for cheaper in some cases than just a DVD player. It was literally a game changer.

7:22 😂 bro accidentally flipped us off❤

This video is a fantastic blast from the past! As a gamer who grew up with these iconic consoles, it's so cool to see them in action again. I'm amazed by the evolution of gaming technology over the years. And that fun fact about the PS3 controller turning on the system is mind-blowing! Thanks for taking us on this nostalgic journey, and I'd love to see more videos like this in the future. 🎮😊

This concept of moving through the history of a product and seeing its evolution is so fun! U should definitely do more of them on the Nintendo, Xbox etc.

Bro the PSP was revolutionary, no idea why is isn’t in this video

In the late 1990s the OG PlayStation controller was upgraded to the DualShock, later called the DualShock 1 once the PS2 was released with its own iteration of the technology. I remember getting a PlayStation in 1998 and the grey controllers already had analogue sticks and rumble.

So sad what happened with SEGA. First console was a Dreamcast and I still to this day feel it was ahead of its time

Fun fact: The PS3 wireless controller could actually turn the system on too! Loved the trip through nostalgia!

3:59 the most iconic startup 😢

just found this content, love these kind of vids man! Nice Unboxing and review vid~!

That's crazy man! Its so cool to see all these old PlayStations compared to newer ones! This is so nostalgic too!

Something you didn't mention about the PS3, the reason it launched with such a high price tag was they had physically integrated a PS2 inside of the system so it had the ability to play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games natively with hardware (not through software emulation) This allowed for full backwards compatibility for all of their titles but drastically increased the manufacturing costs As they released different Iterations of the Fat PS3 they slowly removed these features until it was strictly subpar software emulation People like to say they want backwards compatibility but if they really did they would have to pay for it, and history shows people don't want to pay for it...

Utterly Brilliant Video! p.s. how did he not spend a simple second on the EPIC ps 1 intro sound !

I remember switching on HD for the first time on the PS3. I was playing RE5, and I was confused by how blurry the game was. I realised I had forgotten to turn on the setting in the video settings and my mind was officially mind blown. Everything was so sharp, and so crisp that I didn't even know how I put up with SD. I do like the only ascetics of older consoles, but once I hit ps3 I need to have it in HD

I heard as well that apparently an important part of what seemed to aid Sony with PS2 sales was the fact that it cost a very similar amount (or sometimes even less) than a DVD player whilst being able to play DVDs, so people were buying the console instead of the standalone DVD player.

this is honestly one of the best ways to see how far technology has come in such a small time span

The ps5 looks like a SCI-FI WI-FI router

2:25 square is used for inventory because it’s a square like your inventory would be and triangle for perspective

This has brought back a lot of memories. I remember getting the PS1 and PS2 as a kid. Driver, The Getaway and Bully were classics for me.

This was such a great trip down history. I remember bugging my mum so hard to get me the PS1 and PS2. Those two defined my childhood. Games like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, God of War, Xena Warrior princess, Prince of Persia, WWE Raw Vs Smackdown, PES and FIFA! I could go on for ages. Looking back at this now, I realise how privileged my childhood was.

Such a great video. Love to see more type videos, commodores, Sega's, Nintendo etc.

I didn't know I could watch this video from start to finish just by accidentally clicking on the thumbnail, wonderfully made Video. Well done. PS6 gaming would be immersive/integrated game play.

Sony entering the market with their own system was actually due to a backstab from Nintendo. Sony intended to enter the market with the Nintendo Playstation, where Sony proveded the CD drive part of the system and create exclusive games for it. DEV kits were already available and some prototypes still exist. The project was basically finished when Nintendo pulled the plug, thinking cds were inferior to cartridges, and developed their side of the system into the Nintendo 64. Sony had put so much funds into already that they decided to also complete the system and compete with Nintendo with their disc based 3d game console. It is hard to say who won. Both created an entire own side of the gaming market that grew alongside eachother and coexist without either side losing sales when the other does well, or gains from it the other falters. There WAS a big loser though: Sega was completely pushed out of the market is just a decade, now reduced to a 2nd party dev studio for mainly Nintendo.

5:12 They actually released a controller with 2 analog sticks in the PS1 era. However, it was late enough in the console's lifespan that many games didn't support it. But the PS2 is what made the sticks standard.

Wow so amazing to watch this stuff 🤩🤩 Keep making this type of videos for us ❤❤

Ahh man, this just took me down memory lane. Great video

You can turn the PS3 on with the controller as well. 12:08 What’s great about the PS3 console in this video is that it is backwards compatible with PS2 disc. All ps3 models can play PS1 disc.

It still feels nostalgic to have never owned a single Play Station nor played on one but kept watching the PS releases and Games trailor/ Gameplays to feel nostalgic about it. We didn't had that kind of money so I never asked my father for it . Seeing a PlayStation still triggers that strong childhood feeling of wanting to own one. I literally knew every feature without touching one. All I had was internet. I am a 90s kid, so I have seen it all, every release.

I’m starting to become a gaming collector and collect all those PS consuls watching this video helps me learn a lot and I’ve always wanted all of those PS consuls so I have started to collect them I don’t have any right now but I’m still looking specially at a Young age

You forgot to say why Sony released the PS1 in the first place. They were going to partner up with Nintendo till they betrayed Sony , and the rest is history. Looks like Sony got their revenge. Also Sony has never lost to Xbox. The PS3 did beat the Xbox and it was released a year later

The PS2 wasn't discontinued until 2013! A full 7 years after the PS3 had been released, and the same year the PS4 came out. It truly was an incredible system.

Would have been interesting to add in the 2 handhelds (PSP and PSVita). This was a great overview of what made the PlayStation. Love it! Can't wait to see the same for Xbox, Sega and Nintendo!

Love this, I have been a gamer all my life, I am 42 now and the advancement we have made is mad, cant imagine what the next 40 years will bring, looking forward to it

Amazing video. Inclusion of startup sounds would have been 🤌

Just a note on the PS1. It was also a middle finger to Nintendo whom had backed out of a deal with Sony for a disc add-on for the SNES. To add salt to injury Nintendo then backed one of Sony's rivals. So they basically took the tech they already developed and released the PS1.

You can turn on the ps3 with the controller. The ps3 has so many features that the ps4 feels like a small upgrade Edit: Also ps3 can output 1080p Same as ps4, sony had to launch the ps4 pro for 4k gaming, so ps3 and ps4 are same in terms of resolution

1:08 Buttons! He said Cheerfully. (This little segment lives rent free in my head whenever I press a button)

Thank you for this, really took me down memory lane

As a 51 yr old, I had the pleasure and privilege of owning all the systems from Atari to Sega, to PS1-4 and Xboxes through to this day and to experience the evolution of the technology from its beginning. I feel blessed and wowed with every new system.

7:47 man’s really rickrolled us with a console

PSX left the chat

I used to play on my friend’s PS3 back in 2016-2017 and my mind was BLOWN. In 2021, I got my PS4 and I used it lots. I had it for 2 years before I just got my new PS5 last month :)

Not only does this video show how far Sony/PS has come, it also shows how far his channel has come. From when he used to review handheld game to now casually getting every single PlayStation. It's crazy to think about.

Some additional points: _PS2_ - Was also a functional DVD player. DVD players were still sort of new at that point, having come out a few years prior. So the fact that the PS2 could also play DVDs was a useful feature. It worked fine with a controller, but you could buy an optional remote accessory. _PS3 & PS4_ (since there is a lot of crossover points) - Mentioned the Blu-ray compatibility, but there actually was a lot of demand for the PS3 in the early days as a relatively cost-effective Blu-ray player (again, remote as an optional accessory) that could also double as a gaming console. It was a better deal than some of the cheaper early BD players that lacked some key features (I think internet features was a big one, internal storage was another, as that was used for some BD Live functionality). You touched on it with the PS4 bit, but it really was a bit of a nightmare to develop for, as I understand it. Because of this, a lot of games released on it performed worse than their X-Box 360 counterparts, in spite of the console being technically more capable. Skyrim was a notable example. That was pretty infamous for turning into a slideshow after some hours of play on a given character. Also, being a bit pedantic, but the PS3 technically supported up to 1080p gaming. It's just most of the games weren't capable of it, or defaulted to lower resolutions for performance reasons, and I'm pretty sure a fair few games on the PS4 were also sub-1080p render resolution. You can turn on the PS3 with the controller. The console had to be in the standby mode, which was standard so long as the switch was set to on at the back of the console. One final point though: _"I bought every Playstation Ever."_ *PSP and PSV cry in the corner* Those were pretty impressive little machines that blasted their competition (DS/3DS) out of their water both graphically and in terms of sound and just plain looked more premium. How good the games were was of course up to the developers, and the DS/3DS both had dual screens as features, and the 3DS had the 3D functionality (that a lot of people didn't use anyway). Pretty sure the original PSP is still well appreciated for its use as a portable emulation console to this day, even if Sony did do their best to make it much harder than they needed to for people to use it that way. And that's discounting spinoffs, like the PS Go, and PSX (Which was a DVR & PS2 combo device) but let's not get carried away.

I am squealing throughout this video 😭 ❤ the nostalgia

oh man this video is awesome, the start up sound of ps1 and ps2 OMG , CHildhood :D

The PS3 actually ended up out selling the 360 by the end of its life cycle after Sony dropped the prices with the slim models. Also forgot to mention the amazing first party games that helped sell the system. The PS3 sold 87.5m and the 360 sold 84m

PS3 was the best console jump to date. Built like a tank with wireless controller, massive performance increase, HD resolution, could play blu rays films, had an SD card slot, could store all your photos and videos on it. It was a one stop shop entertainment hub. Every console since has been more of an incremental increase.

The videos have got me into retro gaming thank you

Can’t believe you didn’t flip the PS logo on the disk tray of the PS2 when you had it standing up

Having owned all 5 of these at launch... Im absolutely certain the PS3 was the most impressive generational leap at the time.

Just wanted to say upon myself that I really greatly appreciate you having to showcase the different types of PlayStations that I have used upon during my childhood and it feels good to see the old stations I have loved and adored so much

Very well made video. Thank you!

Still using ps2, so much nostalgia. Even after playing ps5. Ps2 is just so freaking special

8:17 Milo turned off the console ad appeared nice touch 😂

I’ll admit, I was intimidated by the 17 minute runtime as my attention span is desolate, but already three minutes in and just sunk in completely for the haul, great topic and really loving your format improvements. I caught the video where you talked about these video enjoyment optimizations, and I for one appreciate it. Great video so far (:

i love how i got so happy when u were playing monster hunter 3 on the 3ds LOL

Blud really rickrolled us at 7:46

Dual Shock was actually presented with PS1 (analogues + rumble), PS2 used Dual Shock 2 which introduced pressure sensitive buttons (meaning the buttons reacted different in some games depending on how hard you pressed)

Have you tried Mighty Travels Premium yet?

Wow i can remember watching that 3ds xl vs ps vita rematch video, how was that 10 years ago!!

Hey, Mrwhosetheboss! You should definitely do a video on buying every Sega console, including the add-ons (Sega CD and 32X) and the Sega Game Gear. Can you do that, please?

I first found the ps1 in my grandmothers attic yellowed and covered with all the garbage you can imagine. Up until that point I was never interested in what the games of the past were. But at that moment when I blowed the dust off this almost unrecognisable technology my eyes lit up like never before. At that moment I knew that retro gaming is all I could ever want. I grabbed the console ignoring the countless spiders resting upon it and immediately went into my grandfathers workshop to start disassembling it. 12 hours later with an empty bottle of cleaning alcohol, a bucket of now dirty water and scattered equipment I had a fully functioning ps1 with two working controllers. Since then I’ve collected countless games for countless consoles in my retro collection but I will never forget the day when I got that unthinkable amount of adrenaline from a simple grey box

5:15 PS2 controllers have pressure sensitive buttons where the deeper the buttons are pressed, it increases the area of contact for varying degrees of conductivity to control acceleration in Gran Turismo & other supported games. 12:07 You can turn on PS3 console wirelessly using its Bluetooth paired controller, so it is previous gen feature & not "first time" in PS4.

The way he jumped into that seat though xD

I still have my PS2 Slim in 2009 and after that obtaining PS3 Slim since its release. These two are the reason why I hooked up into gaming.

The PSP was really ahead of it's time, a true legend

I used to play PS1 & PS2 with my brother, my cousins and my school friends. The games and technology may not as sophisticated as PS4 and PS5, but the fun is off the charts. Ah the good old days

Im so happy that i was able to use and play on all of them. Except for the ps5…. Not enough time but glad to see how much playstation has evolved and also keeping the same logo

Awesome times. I seem to remember Dual Shock first came on PS1 somewhere around ‘98/‘99 as my Ps1 came with grey dual shock controllers, PS2 I think came with Dual Shock II or something like that. Anyway this was a lovely walk down memory lane🥹 I have had most of the PlayStation consoles except PS3, skipped straight to 4.

I feel so grateful to have owned all 5 Playstations, even if most of them I didn't get until well after launch. So many memories, and I'm still making more today!

Something that was left out of the video was the disc medium for each of the first three generations. From CD to DVD and to Blu-ray. Many where bought just to play DVDs and Blu-rays.

Nice and incredible video you have got here, MrWhoseTheBoss

I have the Limited Edition Destiny The Taken King white PS4. Love the detailed graphics on the top, in my opinion, the most elaborate design.

the PS2 controller also introduced pressure sensitive buttons too, games like The Bouncer utilised it a lot.

15:10 DO IT!!!!!

I used to have a xbox original with a 28 inch crt tv back like 15 years ago when there wasnt any smart tvs or any proper flat screens,i cant believe the years have passed that quickly

You know you're old when you had/have all.

The PS2 wasn't 'technically' the first time you could play your games online, many consoles could go online well before the PS2, although the Dreamcast was probably the first one that had online out-of-the-box, without additional hardware purchase.

This dude's energy is refreshing and also has a great vibe around him , thanks for making my day a bit better

Yeah my first gen ps4 sounds exactly like that one I can confirm your room is not the issue😂😂sounds like a jet engine

My nephew has a PS4 & still has it to this day,whenever I come to my sister's house,we always played.But the games that we played together was Minecraft & Lego Jurassic World

1:21 the greatest sound ever. Makes you feel in awe when you bought a new game and were running it. On a second note I'm hoping Sony come out with another handheld.

Arun, thank you for this trip down the memory lane! So many hours were spent on great games throughout the PS generations. So many forgotten memories were unlocked while watching this video. It was a really soulful, warm and nostalgic video for me. Makes me wanna get every PS and a CRT for myself just to relive those childhood moments. P. S. Definitely want to see a round two. Would also be interested in seeing the Xbox side of things, as I've never had one in my life, but am curious about the history of greatest PlayStation rival. Cheers! ❤️

Way back, when I was a small child, my first console was a SNES. When the next gen consoles were coming out, I had to decide which to choose from as my birthday request to my parents, I naively thought the PlayStation was going to fail and decided to ask for a Sega Saturn…………Oh how wrong I was!

he literally brought back so many memories of our childhood with these consoles . I am 22 and still play games on the PS 5 .

Damn I remember playing Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2. Cool to see every PS compared to each other!

The ps2 was awesome when I was in elementary and early middle school but when the ps3 came out I was hooked I loved that you could customize your home screen with cool themes and the best part was online play like cod black ops,modern warfare,mag,bad company and much more I remember being in 8th grade and convincing my mom to buy me one it was the best

11:01 ps4 pro was my childhood , my cousin still has it and we used to play on it together and 1v1 in cod ww2 , now I have a ps5 but it doesn't beat the feeling of playing on ps4 pro , so much nostalgia my god , I regret for not trying ps3 though , even the fan noise of ps4 pro is iconic and nostalgic for me

Man, the production and topic of this video feels like it's meant for me. First time I've actually wished for the video to not end :p. Props to Arun and his team for this!

I was there for the first model PS1. I remember thinking FFVII was the pinnacle of graphical achievement, and couldn't imagine games looking any better. Great line of consoles.

4:39 my ps2 my mom bought me when I was 14, was probably my favorite console of all time. My favorite games? Capcom vs SNK 2, Tekken 3, Marvel vs Capcom 2, there’s too many to list..oh the Metal Gear Solid, GTA, Grand Tourismo. The console had too many classics on it. Also of course one of absolute favorites on the console Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike. But I would say CvS2 is probably my number 1 and then 3rd Strike

I remember getting my PS2. My brother and I worked for days to earn the money to buy it. We still have it to this day and I still turn it on occasionally. Still play that OG star wars battlefront 2

Hey Arun ! I watched 2 minutes of this video and I paused to say this. Such an awesome throwback, I owned every playstation ever and this brings back such good memories. Pure joy! Thank you ! 😊

Honestly im so impressed you managed to find new and sealed boxes of all of these???

It was essentially Gran Tourismo that propelled Sony PS. The game (GT) was a massive risk for its creators due to its insane complexity for the time, and it literally took more than a decade (yes, a decade) to be developed. There is a video on YT about it, that I watched about a year ago and found really interesting - look it up. We have come really far when it comes to gaming, consoles in particular, and I believe that in the next 10-15 years we will see an even more rapid and revolutionary development - mostly due to combining VR and emerging AI capabilities.

Ps2 start-up sound will always live in my head rent free😌

Great and fun video! Small correction though: the PS3 was actually the first console that you could turn on with the controller, not the PS4.
