With a sub-$100 price tag and a massive software library, the Sony PlayStation is the undisputed king of home video game consoles.

Some of the hottest console games available today are created exclusively for the PlayStation, including several modern-day video gaming classics (Metal Gear SolidandCrash Bandicoot to name a few). The Sony PlayStation truly shines with 3D-rendered action games, such as Tomb Raider and Syphon Filter.

In addition to impressive graphics, the PlayStation also offers CD-quality sound.
