Ps1 vs PS2
First of all lets take into account the cost of hardware.
Ps1 maybe 15.99 - 29.99 in the used or unsold bin of a local game store.
PS2 still around 149.99 - last I saw.
Now, Ps1 or PSX, (PSX depends on model), have been around longer, sony fixed many of their problems and if the laser breaks down, replacement parts could be found in your neighbor's yard sale cannibalized from another console.
PS2 laser replacement parts can cost up to 60.00
Plus sending it in somewhere for repairs can cost labor to the point when it's cheaper to buy a new one.
So, either buy some quality media, Verbatim is good - I like Memorex, or pick up a Ps1 and don't test your PS2's longevity. Unless you like seeing that red screen.
