content: The PlayStation has been beaten out in the hardware race by the PC, Sega Dreamcast, and [some say] the N64. However, the PlayStation is still the best overall system on the market.There is no better deal, and the N64 can only match this price, not better it. Also, the CDs the PSX uses are much cheaper than the cartridges of the N64. This system is the most inexpensive to own and use.Secondly, the games are as good or better than those of other systems. For the Mario, Zelda, and F-Zero of N64, Sony has Gran Turismo 1 and 2, the Syphon Filters, the Resident Evil series, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasies, Dino Crisis, Tekkens .. more of the best games are still only on PlayStation.
