Well the PS3 is BC with PS1 & PS2 if it's a phatty PS3, so if including BC I'd choose OG PS3 (phat) as the best.

For me though it's more about what innovations PS1, 2, & 3 brought not just technologically, but also in driving change to market dynamics, opening up the market, being the center for a lot of console gaming experiences from AAA to AA to indie, and having very distinct brand identities where the console was always front and center.

PS4 still retained a good majority of that and also fixed some business-related issues with PS3. PS5 I feel, has been gradually losing on a lot of those fronts as the gen has proceeded and it's a 50/50 as to if things will course-correct & improve or if the decline in these various metrics continues.

I believe only the original 20GB/60GB phatty PS3. 80GB Phat PS3 wasn't BC. Not sure, Maybe I forgot.

I think PS5 did a good job on innovating with fast hard-drive plus it tackled the noise and heat issues the PS4/PS3 had. The OS gimmicks was a bunch of nonsense with the cards that I bet no1 ever uses.

Should of just changed the look of the PS4 and kept he features. Plus I would of liked an option of instant load which the series X kinda has, which the cards cant pull off despite what fans keep saying.

Can't remember honestly. I am a game collector and used to get them at auctions for super low prices. My go to's were five or less for a PS1 while PS2s went for about 20. Honestly can't say which I got first but I've slept with a pile of PS2s near my feet for decades now. How I miss those days of low, low prices...

PS1 with Pandemonium, Alien Trilogy, Hardcore 4x4 and Olympic Soccer.

Remember going in with my parents to get a Sega Saturn and the Dixons worker saying wait 2 weeks for the PS1 to return in stock cause it’s better.

I was having none of it but eventually gave in.

Probably the best gaming decision I made in my life.😁

Also like to add that it took me hours to tune the PS1 into the TV then realised I didn’t stick the 3 pin RF cable properly into the console.

Anyone remember this cable for the PS1?

I bought a PS5 recently (my first ever PlayStation console) to play Bloodborne and Demon's Souls (because they refuse to bring them to PC, especially BB).

Now, my PS5 sits there collecting dust.
