Is it worth it to get a PS1 just for SOTN?

[Pichu]

Hello, I really want to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but is it worth it to get a PS1 just for that? I think there will be other RPGs I can get my hands on, considering there are PS1's for $20...

just wondering on your Opinions

Yes, SoTN is worth it. However, I'd advise you to just buy a PS2. You could probably snag one for $30 on Craigslist if you're diligent. I don't understand why anyone this day and age would buy a PS1 except for collection purposes.

If your a collector then it's a game worth having.

If your just want to play it and already own a Xbox 360 then download it from Arcade. If you have a PS3 you can get it from the PS network.

If you're going to buy a system to play it you might as well get a PS2 since it can play PS1 games.

The game is worth more than $20.

Well besides as a collector item, there is the obscure Link games. It does mean two PS1s to buy. I have Assault Rigs, a great game with second set hooked up to a 1701 Commodore monitor.

But agree, if space is an issue the PS2 can handle almost all PS1 games.

Assault Rigs "Entering Arena."
(You can also play this in FPS mode)

It's worth it!! Castlevania Symphony of the Night is an incredible game one of my favorite in the series along with Super Castlevania IV!!

I've made up my mind, I'm getting it. I loved Castlevania IV,
and I wanted to try the other peak of the series.

Thanks guys!

I'd say get a PS1 just because they look cool, but PS2 is overall a better investment.

I actually just bought a PS so I could play SotN, because for some reason it had a lot of trouble working on both mine and my friend's PS2 (works with no problems on the Playstation). It was only $10 (+$10 S&H), and was well worth it.
