The PS One has all of the same functionality as the original
PlayStation workhorse, will work with all of the same peripherals and accessories,
and will play the existing PlayStation game library, as well as audio CDs (also
note that, like the original PlayStation, it's not compatible with the more advanced
PlayStation 2). The difference here is that this new model is quite a bit smaller
than its older brother, and quite a bit cuter, too.
The system is made up of a 32-bit, 34-MHz RISC processor with 16 Mbits of main
memory, 8 Mbits of graphics memory, 24-channel stereo sound, double-speed CD-ROM
drive, and one Dual Shock analog controller. That's not a lot of power, compared
to a next-generation system like the Sega Dreamcast; but, when you factor in
its very low price and the enormous library of games that are available (more
than 1,000 that are spread across every genre imaginable), one can see easily
why it's as good a deal as ever.
