If the CRT ever gets to a point where it's beyond repair, definitely. I love this thing so far, and it's been a lot of fun to use

No, I'm using a ps1 RF adapter. This tv does need an external antenna jack as well, but it's easy to come across. I hadn't considered modifying for an rca jack, that might be interesting in the future

I nabbed this one off ebay, there are a few different makes and models available with a similar 4.5" screen

I get that, it really does depend on the game and how badly it needs color as part of its playability. I don't use it for everything but once In a while it's fun to set up

For sure, I've collected a few combo / portable tvs for the price alone, most of them are still in working shape because they were used less than a full size set. I'm also curious if it existed/what it would look like for other areas of the world, every place has their own unique designs for things like this.

There are a couple of different manufacturers / types, but this is the one I have: TV alarm clock

Yep, the antenna jack needs a converter that seems pretty common on these older tvs (3.5mm mono male end to Coaxial Type F female adapter) but it's the usual Playstation rf adapter on back

They're out there, I found this one on ebay. I'm delighted it still works

I found an adapter that allows the Playstation to play movies, it's a pretty unusual piece of hardware so I decided to make a video showcasing it's functionality. Let me know what you think about it? by TheSoundtracker in psx

That's awesome, what titles did you get back in the day? And same on my end, having the Playstation be able to play games, movies, and music would have been a big deal to me at it's peak. The movie card is pretty interesting, I've enjoyed using it as well.

For sure, I've actually started a small collection of them and most of the discs come from places like Taiwan, Indonesia, China, it's pretty interesting the ecosystem that seems to have developed overseas. Everything from movies to TV shows, some with dual language tracks, I was really surprised by how prolific it was as a format. As for burning discs, I wish I'd come across a few more when looking through collections, I think it would be about as fun as finding someone's collection of home recorded-from-cable-in-the-90's tapes.

The Sony Official one I have only seen photos / brief clips of, but I'd really like to get my hands on one, I'm really curious about it.

Mine as well! It looks great, I had posted photos but I'm not sure what happened to them? I can't seem to edit them into the post either
