Does it have the RCA style audio jacks? Audiophiles pay ridiculous money for PS1's with those (only the early model had them).

Really? Huh, I didn't know that. I think I have one of those old models...I think the laser is failing though.

I do know the old ones also have that back port that you could install those cheat carts on. Pretty much did the job of a mod chip and an action reply/gameshark/game genie in one.

MonMotha:
That's true, one of the early early model PS1s was apparently actually a really good CD player for the time.  I'm pretty sure that model was released in the USA, though.

I was looking for a cheap way to play imports, the system was at a reasonable price, but then the shipping threw me off. Yes I can get a usa ps1 and the device you plug in the back to play imports, but I read somewhere that some of the later ps1 games to come out would not play using this methos because they had anti piracy methods.

This is not and was not ever true.

If you're gonna shoot down one man's claim, at least back it up with evidence.

Now I'm not claiming that it's TRUE that it plays CDs better, I'm claiming that there are a bunch of idiots out there who think so and pay big bucks for them.
