You don't think it's worth trying out at least once before selling it?

To be honest, my wife is the one who mostly wanted it and like me she never played it. Many of the games I was most interested in have since been ported. I think my wife wanted to play that exclusive Uncharted game, which supposedly isn't that great anyways. She's on board to sell it as well.

Man, this one hurts to see. There are so, so many amazing games on the PS1. Maybe it stings a bit more since I've been on a bit of a PS1 kick this week. Hopefully the 20 years is because you play PS1 games on a PS2 or PS3.

The reason for the long time is most definitely because I play PlayStation games with a PlayStation 2. In recent months, I've played through the first three Resident Evil games that way, so it's not like I'm ignoring the platform's library altogether. Just from the games I already own, I still have a lot to play too.

I figured that was the case. I probably play games on my actual PS1 more than your average person due to mine being modded for HDMI out and an Xstation thrown in with nearly every game on it I have any interest in.
