A few friends and I had a modded Playstation back in the day, however, If you had a CD burner, you were king of the playground as the official supplier of games.

The irony about the burner price dropping is that it was probably partially due to laser and chip suppliers ramping up production to scale for the PS1 that made the prices drop.

The Spyro anti-crack protection was absolutely brilliant. Hands down, no quantifiers, it was brilliant and deeply amusing in how frustrating it could be.

Thank you for not calling it the “PSX” at any point. There’s this weird phenomenon where certain people call it by the prototype name and not it’s proper name.

Nothing will ever be funnier than Sony's 'crack=proof' audio cd protection beaten with a 99 cents marker.

I remember reading about Spyro 3....and apparently the group also ended up giving all sorts of mad props and respect to the developers who came up with such a fiendish copy prevention mechanism
