What was your first PlayStation console?

OG PS1 here as well. I didn't get it for the first half year since I was having to save up for it myself. My buddy had one, and we were blown away by Battle Arena Toshinden and Warhawk (which I think we only had a demo of). When I saw that FF7 was going to the system, that was what convinced me I needed to buy it. Don't recall what my first game was that I bought for it, but I have kept all my games, and still do some collecting for it (although everything I want now is pricey as shit). I have over 50 games for it, although my OG grey one died over a decade ago, and I use my PS2 to play them. PS1 is tied with SNES as my fave consoles of all time.

lol all I had was the demo disc for just a little while but I played the hell out of it. I think one had Jade Coccon as well
A refurbished PS2 by the end of 2003, I think.
I bought it on EBgames with Gran Turismo 3 and MGS2: Substance.

PS1.
Never owned a PS2 as my parents won't buy it for us. Next was PS3 that I bought late gen with my own money.
The PS1 was bought by my father. I remember my mother was very upset because she didn't want us to play video games and it was expensive lol.
It came with a couple of games. I only remembered Project Horned Owl and Point Blank.

PS2 in like 2002.
Didn't care for the PS1 since I was more of a N64 person. I actually asked for a Dreamcast, but since Sega was going out of the console business my parents got me the Playstation instead.

No memory card. :lol
Reminds me when I played Shenmue with a friend, without a VMU. Guess how happy we were when we tried to change disc?
PSX. I bought it because I played a demo for Metal Gear Solid on a friend's PSX and knew I NEEDED to own and play that game.
I'm trying to think back on which games I had for PlayStation back then. I have a vague memory of getting Wipeout for Christmas, and later getting Tekken. I didn't have many games back then. Oh man, I'll never forget getting Resident Evil and that first corridor you enter. Do you need to spoiler mark Resident Evil 1? Haha.
Does PSP Go count? If not, PS3 Slim. 2010 Boxing Day. My dad bought it for "himself" and proceeded to put it in my room and give it to me. He wanted me to not feel left out among the other kids who all started to move away from Nintendo. I loved Uncharted 2 so much.
The Playstation. I got it the Christmas after my N64 but it immediately became my #1 system, until the Dreamcast came out.
A friend and I rented a PS1 and 3 games from Blockbuster. Jumping Flash, Battle Arena Toshinden and Tekken. We were blown away and I got one less than a month later. Staying up all night playing is such a memorable part of my teenage years.
I bought a PS3 in 2012 and sold it six months later. Never had any interest before and definitely not after.
First PlayStation console I owned was the PS2. Bought it with Ratchet & Clank after I got fired from a terrible fast food job. Maxed out my credit cards $500 limit buying both and probably shouldn't have spent that money. I don't regret it.
First PlayStation I ever played was the PS1. My local Microplay imported a PS1 from Japan and rented it out. I think it was $40/3 days with Ridge Racer and Battle Arena Toshinden. My mind melted seeing those graphics after my name on the waiting list to rent it came up.

The OG PSX. Received it Christmas of 1996 with 2 games: Tekken 2 and Destruction Derby. Got the above sticker in September of 1997 and it stayed on the lid of my PSX until it's (very) timely death on October 25th, 2000. The next day, I purchased my PS2 on it's launch date.
I miss that sticker. Just Googling the picture gave me a wave of nostalgia.
The original PlayStation. But I didn't get it until I was 18, in 1997. I was poor when it released, so I only got to play it at friends or family's homes, or when my brother-in-law would rent one. When I got my first job at 18, I bought my own PlayStation with my very first paycheck. No regrets. XD
I remember staying up all night playing the original GTA, and then shortly after Silent Hill, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Final Fantasy VII released. I was in heaven. Some of my fondest gaming memories since the NES days.
