TOKYO--Sony Computer Entertainment announced that it has ended production of the LCD monitor for the PlayStation console. The monitor, which featured a 5-inch LCD display and built-in stereo speakers, was first released two years ago as an accessory for the PSOne. It could be snapped on to the back of the game console and be used in vehicles equipped with a special adapter.

Reportedly, Sony will be making one last shipment of its PSOne & LCD Monitor bundle, which is scheduled to arrive in stores in August. The bundle retails for 18,000 yen ($166).

[Wario64]

That's why you never trade/sell your stuff...I still keep all my shit cause I know that one day, I'm gonna miss them and want them back

Epecially with a stash like that, I wouldn't even think of selling D=

Xenogears and Suikoden 2?

Oh my god, those are my holy grails! and you threw them away

I have 2 copies of both of those incase one fails on me.

 

[MrAngryFace]

didnt throw them away

Just dont have them anymore. Seriously tho, that collection was a giant ape on my back. Then I moved to AZ and went through a year of weird ass trade in habits that made no sense, but since that ended ive managed to reduce my gaming to 3 games for my xbox and some core titles for my PC. I dont have time for much else these days, just part getting old I guess.

Do you think Sony will eventually reduce the size of the PS2 to "PSTwo" and release a new LCD monitor to go with it? If the chances of that are high, I'd rather just wait and get that, if not then I must get me a PSOne LCD before they become hard to find.

Essentially this is PSTwo+LCD (play anywhere where you can plug in for power) with the expection that you can't play PS2 games on this one.

Holy shit! I owned a lot of those games at one time or another, but my PSX collection has since been reduced to 0. Played so many RPG's in those days that I eventually became sick of the genre. Nostalgia give me a ping of regret for selling them all, but I know that in present-day reality I would never find time to play any of them. lol

Heck, the PSOne LCD revitalized my joy for PSX games... I now have a small carrying bag with the PSOne, the LCD, the power block, and a few games (Crash Team Racing, Tekken 3, Castlevania: SOTN, a couple pinball and card compilations) that I bring with me whenever my GF drags me over to her folks'. I also use it as a monitor for my Cube and DC sometimes. Not bad for $25.

I like the concept of it all, and I own a third party screen, but the screen itself is majorly overpriced.

Man, MAF's pic makes me all nostalgic. Goddamn you, MAF, now I need to buy a whole collection of PSX games again

In terms of IQ, the Sony LCD screen smokes all third-party ones with ease. Definitely worth every penny.
