Well, after
being in production for eleven years, and putting Sony on the map as a
console manufacturer, the original PlayStation is finally being taken
out of production. This doesn't mean that the system will be taken
off of store shelves, so one needn't worry about availability issues.
Also, as
PlayStation games become increasingly difficult to find, gamers needn't
give up hope just yet, as Sony has also recently announced that they
will be making an emulator for the PSP that can play PlayStation games.
