Celebrating 30 Years of PlayStation: A Nostalgic Throwback

As adults, we all miss certain sounds from our youth. For many, it’s the nostalgic beeps of dial-up internet or the familiar tune on AIM or MSN Messenger that bring back fond memories. While many of these retro sounds have disappeared or been replaced with newer ones, PlayStation is bringing back one beloved sound in celebration of its 30th anniversary – and it’s a feeling that’s hard to put into words.

For a limited time, PlayStation has launched a special offer: players can customize their PS5 UI with themes from throughout the brand’s history, including the original PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and more. While most gamers might opt for the OG PSX theme, others might choose the iconic PS2 design. The choice is yours!

A Blast from the Past: The PSX Boot Screen

For those who grew up on PlayStation, the old-school PSX boot screen is a nostalgic trigger like no other. It’s a reminder of the excitement and wonder of discovering new games for the first time. I, for one, will be rebooting my PS5 throughout the holidays to relive the thrill of playing Tomb Raider II or Tekken 3 for the first time all over again.
