Question
Hi, This is probably a dumb question, but do they still make playstation 1 games or do you just have to buy them all used? Do you know of any cheap places to get large packs of games for the playstation 1? Thanks Much

Answer
Gday Justin,

They actually stopped making PS1 games around 2005 (I believe Fifa 2005 was the last title released) in the USA and at the end of 2007 in Japan games stopped being released.

There are still probably millions of copies of sealed new PS1 titles floating around you just have to know where to look.

Unfortunately you have to look hard and are usually confined to Ebay, Online sellers, Fleamarkets and the odd retro video gaming store (Which is a rarity) to find any PS1/PSX booty.  The major Gaming stores stopped accepting them mid 2006 and stopped selling them shortly after.

Hope this helps.
