        I think you’re confusing the PS1 in the ad with the PSOne which came out later and had rounded edges.

          I had an original PlayStation (pictured) and I don’t remember it being a gargantuan monstrosity that was taller than the average beer bottle.

    Meanwhile, the Dreamcast with its controller cord actually coming off the bottom should maybe take a paternity test.

    Also, do look out for Tao Feng, but not for the reason the ad says.

    I find these ads equally fascinating and cringe. Edgy male teenager humor to the max, though that was the prime demographic they were marketing to.
