I knew pretty much all of the PS1 stuff. Another thing that isn't highly known is you could actually put some PS1 discs in a normal cd player and play the soundtracks.
I love your console videos. They're so interesting and giving me chills, flashbacks (Because I owned all consoles) and are just fun and comfortable. :)
PS Home was amazing! I loved that PS3 had free online. Also the PS Vita was so ahead of the game. It’s crazy that the PSVR sold 5M units and the PS Vita sold 15M units, yet they still made a PSVR2…
Honestly hoping they do some kind of reboot/redo of the PS Vita, it really was ahead of its time! Launched before the ps4 even came out... if it would've launched with the ps4 or even alongside the ps5 I think it would've done numbers easily❗️ just my opinion though
The playstation pocket station wasn't only playstation's idea, it was actually inspired by the VMU which came out along side the Dreamcast in Japan. It was both brands banking on the tomagatchi phase Japan was going through. Both are memory cards that connect directly to the system. The main difference was for unsupported games on PS1 it did basically nothing, while on Dreamcast it displayed information of the game or little gags as it's on the controller making it easier to send secret messages and stuff to the player with one.
@@katiew5998 I don't blame people for not knowing about it. Most people had already written off the Dreamcast as the PS2 was known to be coming, was faster, and the PS1 was already the best selling system of its generation. Plus why put your faith in Sega after the Saturn was left to rot? No matter what Sega did, there was nothing they could do to save them from the pit they dug. Still kinda wish the hall effect sticks at least carried over to everyone else though...
The meaning of the "cross" and "circle" buttons were actually the opposite of the "western" ideal. The original Japanese design was intended to be circle as confirm and cross as deny. Certain PS1 games even have the singular option of swapping just those two buttons in the control options. I remember Final Fantasy VII was definitely one of those games but I can't remember what others did the same
I remember playing games on PS1 during childhood, Japanese games usually have O as confirm and X as cancel, while western games usually have X as confirm, while having O and sometimes triangle as the cancel button
my PS4 pro was manufactured in japan and the factoory settings actually came with circle being confirm and cross as deny and the option to make circle the confirm button in the settings menu is replaced with the cross instead

I loved PS Home. ahead of the curve. Mostly used my Ps3 for streaming apps and BD playback. I had a PS-Vita for a short time. I liked the way that the PS media bar matched the media bar on the Sony-Ericsson handsets too.
My first Sony console was the PSP and I still have it, it’s a bit busted but I think it was an amazing handheld system. It was definitely a much different experience than my GameBoy Advanced SP that’s for sure.
I'm keep getting this problem this wierd error, can anyone help me, when I play minecraft on ps5, I keep having inefficient storage, even though I have over 1tb
7:26 When watching this video for the first time, I expected the “super cool last Easter egg” to be a damn good one after watching number 20. I am blown away by it.
I had the PSP and the PS Vita as Sony mobile console. It was wild to me at the time using the sensor at the back to interact with some games. Good ol' days.
You can still use it for remote play, I played gang beasts on my friends PS4 with it. He didn't have a spare controller so it came in clutch. Gosh I love the Vita!
I almost made a very negative comment but I realized this isn't for people like me. I'm going to give you major props on the "hey Playstation" part. It was the only thing you taught me, so this video did teach me something. Also thanks for mentioning the boomerang, what a classic. You know your stuff ❤
For the mascot of Sony I would go with the sack boy from Little Big planet but astrobot looks fairly similar The robotic aspect leads to futurism of course but sack boy could highlight the realism that is capable of
One bit you never spoke about is the set of shapes on the inside of the backplate of PS5 that works as the guide for aligning the horizontal stand grip. I found out about it while googling how to fix the stand. Amazing detail!
5:28 I love Astro Bot!! Astro's Playroom has literally become like my favourite game! I always come back to Astro's Playroom for the network speedrun stages (which is probably why I've managed to get to 16th place in the world)! Absolutely fantastic game and character! I hope Astro Bot does become Sony's mascot!
Can’t believe there was no mention for Sackboy as Sony’s mascot. Had Media Molecule kept on as developer for the 3rd instalment, as well as the Big Adventure spinoff then Sackboy be certainly iconic and recognisable. Also Jak from the Jak and Daxter series is another hot contender
Arun, I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you and your team put into these videos. They mean a lot to me since I have been watching you for a long time and the progress is insane. I finally decided 2 years ago to start on the UA-cam journey myself, and it is the best decision I have made. Thank you for being my idol in the tech space.
The vita had the potential to be something great, its such a shame that sony decided to abandon it as quickly as they did. After installing CFW on my vita its still one of my favorite handhelds ever made and I've owned consoles from the OG gameboy to the steam deck.
Thank you Arun for creating this video. This video will be so important for us all gamers and aspiring gamers out there. Specially to us hardcore Playstation fans. I will now wait for your Xbox and Nintendo version of this. Thank you amazing video as usual!
Here is a list of things that the video talks about: Strange features of the original PlayStation, such as the ability to keep playing games even if the disc is removed and the ability to change game background music with a music CD The meanings behind the shapes of the PlayStation controller buttons and why Sony chose shapes instead of letters The history of the PlayStation and how it originated from a collaboration between Sony and Nintendo that ultimately fell apart The design of the PlayStation controller and how it was inspired by an airplane yoke Sony's aggressive marketing campaign against Sega in the 90s, particularly with the creation of the mascot Crash Bandicoot The success of the PlayStation 2, which was only discontinued in 2013, and its unexpected support for Netflix and Linux The best-selling games on each PlayStation console, including Gran Turismo on PS1, GTA San Andreas on PS2, and GTA 5 on PS3 and PS4 The most downloaded games on the PS5 in its first year, including Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, FIFA, and NBA Interesting features and failed products of the PlayStation, including the gyro sensor on the PS3 controller, using a PSP as a rearview mirror in a PS3 racing game, and the failed PlayStation Vue online video streaming service.
Great video Arun! I've been a playstation fan my entire life and have all the consoles. It pains me to say this but the future is highly uncertain for Sony's playstation series. With Microsoft's studio acquisition spree and game pass's insane value proposition, I have not been able to get away from my Xbox Series X, it's a very easy recommendation for anyone playing more than 2 games a year
0:44 This is factually incorrect. First off, the X button is not universally used to confirm, nor is the O button universally used to deny. In Japan, where the Playstation was created, it's the opposite, and THAT was the original intention. When localizing the game to the west, most companies opt to swap the functions of the two automatically because we prefer the bottom button to be a confirmation and the right button to be a denial, but there are cases where they either forget or just didn't care to and left the control scheme the same as it is in Japan. Either way, the reason behind the X (or "cross," as they call it) is because an X is a pretty universal symbol for "no," and the reason behind the O is because a circle is a slightly less universal (but extremely common in Japan) symbol for "yes."
Dear mrwhosetheboss the first time I saw your video even though I had had no ps5 or any playstation I felt like I have it in my hands please sorry for the disturbance
14:28 The Sega Dreamcast also had something similar to this, it was also a memory card but you can take it with you and it had mini games on it depending on the dreamcast game you had saved on there.
Thank you for being the ultimate technology fan. I appreciate your content. When I think of tech news, reviews, and anything else tech related, it's always Mr. Whosetheboss❤❤❤❤
You made me remember a game called "vib ribbon". That was a music game in which you pressed the buttons acording to the wave form. It had a mode in which you could put your own music cd for it to play. It was so incredible that the hole gameplay and graphics would just fit in the 2MB of RAM memory.

PlayStation is awesome 💙

I love playstation more than xbox
Great vids man
NO, Xbox is better!
Props to Arun’s team for counting each individual shape on the PS5 controller grip 😂
Yay
they prolly just found it on the website
I was waiting soon long for a woooosh, finally found it!
As if 😂😂
@@Joemo89765 r/whoosh
As a person who owned about every playstation and handhelds I'm actually surprised how I didn't knew all this over the previous years
😂
Him always saying how bad the Vita "failed" makes me wonder how bad the "PSP Go" failed since literally NO ONE mentions that shit at all 🤣
Same. That PS1 music CD thing new my mind!
For real the rear view mirror using your psp for the racing game is such an "above and beyond" move. Its really unique 👌
I knew pretty much all of the PS1 stuff. Another thing that isn't highly known is you could actually put some PS1 discs in a normal cd player and play the soundtracks.
I love that these youtube videos have evolved to literally no intro and straight into the video, its amazing
lets get right into the show!
I always considered Sackboy as the closest thing Sony had to a mascot through the ps3 and 4 era.
This. Surprised he didn't even get a mention!
Kratos
Yeah Sackboy much more than Crash imo.
Or even Nathan Drake from the Uncharted Series. Who was also in Playstation Allstar
and then we have astro on ps5
I was thinking the same thing
7:39 I knew this fact and always thought it was amazing 😍
That sound brings so many memories
as someone who has had or my family had a PlayStation since the ps2 this was great fun to watch.
I love your console videos. They're so interesting and giving me chills, flashbacks (Because I owned all consoles) and are just fun and comfortable. :)
YES! These are my favourite type of tech videos! Always nice to learn new stuff about my console

@ Lee Lanzini, that's because they are always willing to push the ball.
The ps vita is a console and the vr is an accessory, what does this comment mean.
@@Paccyd33, because they both have specific games.
Can't agree more.
Thanks!
I just can't get enough of this guy's videos. The quality, his voice, the amount of humor are just perfect. And it's very entertaining on top of it

Indeed. Generally the meaning of the circle symbol is "yes/correct" and the cross "no/incorrect".
Thank you for pointing this out. IIRC even the first Metal Gear Solid game had this setup.
I remember playing games on PS1 during childhood, Japanese games usually have O as confirm and X as cancel, while western games usually have X as confirm, while having O and sometimes triangle as the cancel button
exactly this. this O (maru) and X (batsu) meaning in Japanese is also seen in emojis. 🙆O 🙅X

and the option to make circle the confirm button in the settings menu is replaced with the cross instead

This guy is the absolute best when it comes to “things we missed”.
yea true
My first Sony console was the PSP and I still have it, it’s a bit busted but I think it was an amazing handheld system. It was definitely a much different experience than my GameBoy Advanced SP that’s for sure.
I still play psp titles ... On My Modded Ps Vita Great Handheld Console . Still enjoying it in 2023
I lost my PSP around 6 years ago, still miss it.
5:15 literally an example of "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
I always watch your videos with a smile.
Great content and information presented in an exciting manner .
Keep em coming Arun 😊
Good video and excellent presentation, mate! 🎮😁🤘
Great video as always! Looks like you pay as much attention to detail as Sony does with their PlayStation easter eggs. Keep it up
I'm keep getting this problem this wierd error, can anyone help me, when I play minecraft on ps5, I keep having inefficient storage, even though I have over 1tb
12:00 had me dying! Absolutely love this content, can't believe how fast the videos are dropping
7:26 When watching this video for the first time, I expected the “super cool last Easter egg” to be a damn good one after watching number 20. I am blown away by it.
As a person who had every PlayStation since the ps2, this is truly my type of video, thanks for posting this. 💙💙💙
I had the PSP and the PS Vita as Sony mobile console. It was wild to me at the time using the sensor at the back to interact with some games. Good ol' days.
You can still use it for remote play, I played gang beasts on my friends PS4 with it.
He didn't have a spare controller so it came in clutch. Gosh I love the Vita!
The PS2 storage Easter egg is mind-blowing. Never knew that!
9:34 bro Arun how are you telling us tech stuff and relating it with memes at the same time. Arguably one of the best content creators on UA-cam

its actually filmed inside his house
They don’t need to be they are already good enough😅
bro he wouldn’t film it in his dads house where else would it be 💀💀💀

its free this month so check it out.
Nathan Drake was more of the face of the ps3, followed by sackboy.
