I was thinking about getting one as well, but could not decide if the PSIO is a better option then the PS2 hard drive mod. The PS2 has the PS1's processor built in so it can play the entire PS1 library native, like it was simple a different revision of the PS1.
I think it's a great project, but other then the novelty of having an original PS1 on your shelf, I'm not sure it adds anything over the existing PS2 hard drive mods.

Yeah psone modding doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense.
It's kind of like chipping a gamecube..... I suppose you could, or you could softmod a Wii and be done with it. You'll get the added benefit of inexpensive component cables.
Some disc based systems actually make sense though... like a Saturn, a Dreamcast or a Sega CD.... or the turbo cd.

I guess some of us just want everything. I have a modded GC and Wii. I Have a modded Ps2 but an un modded ps1.I Think it's the novelty of playing games on the intended console but without burning up the old cd drives.

That's resizable. Particularly because the PS1 drives notoriously bad.

It makes sense if you tend to transport your old consoles around when going on trips, or attending meet-ups/gaming sessions.
Besides, I got the LCD with my PSOne and would love to have it as a self-contained all-in-one console. Especially if I can cart it around easily without having to bring CDs with me.
