For those who don't know what this is, its either the chunkiest or second chunkiest console ever released, and is comparible in size to an OG Xbox.

OG Xbox. It felt like the future.
PS1 felt premium because of the games but the console reminded me of a hungry hippo.

For some reason they all felt super and premium when I first got them.

-Megadrive was a huge upgrade from Nes
-Snes Super Mario World and all the colours was like wow
-Saturn was my first console with a CD drive, so that was like the future
-N64 with 3D Mario and analogue stick
-Dreamcast was such a huge leap in graphics from PS1/Saturn/N64

But most premium, Id say PS2/PS3-

PS2 had a dvd player and just that black cool looking console with the font. Seeing demos of MGS2, Onimusha, DMC, FFX, GT3, it was pretty special
Then PS3 with the Bluray, wireless controller and online stuff

OG 60GB PS3 and OG PS5. But PS5's manufacturing quality is way ahead of any other console I've ever seen. So I'll say OG PS5.

PS3. Even back them I felt I got what I payed for. In the end Sony was proven right. The PSP. In some ways it was the smartphone before the smartphone. It was a multi media player that was ahead of its time. It had a better web browser than any flip phone. It had Wi-Fi, you could store and listen to music and use it as an mp3, watch movies and store photos. Once I got it I didn’t even look at my DS again. It felt like a toy. These days I would say the Steam Deck gave me that premium feel.

PS5, Harware innovation-check.
Controller-super premium-check.
Wild design-check.
Ports/4k player-check.
Console Software huge progress-check.
Arguably most complete premium console ever.

PS3 second to PS5

The launch PS3 with hardware emulation.

I had it too… then I flipped it. I regretted that for a bit but realized I don’t utuilize BC much at all. Would’ve been cool to have tho.

It was also nice looking. Nice trim work and finish. Then again… this new ps5 cheap model looks ugly compared to launch model too.
