Hi everyone,
As many of you are already aware, today marks a monumental milestone for gamers in North America. Fifteen years ago, the original PlayStation console was introduced, forever altering the entertainment experience for our loyal PlayStation fans and revolutionizing the video game industry. In order to celebrate our 15-year anniversary with you, we are launching a new category on the PlayStation Store (look under New Releases) that will hold classic content in PlayStation’s history.
Today, we’re kicking off the celebration with a sale on Super Rub ‘a’ Dub. How does this fit into PlayStation’s history? Well some of you may not know that the ducks in Super Rub ‘a’ Dub were used in a tech demo at E3 2005 to show the processing power of the PlayStation 3. Along with Super Rub ‘a’ Dub, we will also have a sale on Suikoden, an iconic RPG from Konami that launched within the first year of the PlayStation’s release. Finally, be sure to check out a free anniversary theme available for the PlayStation 3 and PSP.
The celebration doesn’t stop after today! We will continue to add content onto the anniversary section of the PlayStation Store. Thank you again for your continued support and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with you.
How about Putting some of your own ps1 classics up for this celebration?
Heres a few that come to mind:
Alundra
Arc the Lad Collection
Legend of Dragoon
Legend of Legaia
Medievil 2
Gran Turismo 1&2
Omega Boost
Suikoden? Just $3? I was thinking of buying a PSN card just to get the last Dragon Age DLC, and i had no idea what i could do with the remaining $3, now i know :D
Happy B-Day PS!!!
101 th comment, no ps2 emulation announcement? for shame! just kidding, keep up the good work!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuu
I go to buy Suikoden with the remaining change in my wallet….I’M 6 CENTS SHORT. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? >.<
Congrats everyone from Playstation! You guys and girls have made playstation a terrific brand with terrific games! Keep up the good work and you will keep me as an avid supporter.
Two questions:
1) Exactly how much is Super Rub-a-Dub? I don’t have a PS3, but my friend does. I’d like to buy Suikoden, but I don’t like having leftover funds, and the $5 minimum doesn’t sit well with me. I’d add the combined price, then have him do the purchase for me.
2) How long will Suikoden stay on sale? If it stays at three bucks until the end of the Anniversary sales, then I’ll just wait until the end of it and buy everything I want en masse, but if its sale ends when the next game’s starts, then I’d need to take a course of action as seen in “1)”.
Also: Will the Anniversary themes stick around for good? Gotta know if I should make a backup of that classiness.
Yay!

You’re deals are not good, thus far. Definitely need something better to celebrate 15 years.
Happy B-Day Sony, one Question, Is there any way to download the Black Wallpaper of the PS3 Theme 15 Years Anniversary? Please >_<
Got Suikoden, like it a whole lot. But I am waiting for Breath of Fire 3 to come out as a PSone classic download here in the U.S.
Thank you Sony for 15 great years, even though some of them have been better than others. ;-)
Sales look great, but I already have those and I would really like to see the themes max increased so I could download these anniversary ones also.
15 years already?! お誕生日おめでとうございます。
Wow yeah happy 15th birthday! But you forgot these games Sony Battle Arena Toshinden and Tekken 1 my God when are you going wake up and smell the coffee Sony old school game’s from 15 year’s ago are still missing from the PSN hurry up already! Japan has over 3,000 PS1 games America not even close and now on Oct 26th will also be the PS2 birthday!..I bought it on day 1 when it came out both I would have to say Oct 26th also is my B-day!.But seriously get your act together and start adding more PS1 and PS2 games in the store and I mean soon!
hooyah playstation!!!
Happy Birthday, PlayStation! Thank you for allowing us to celebrate this milestone with you by giving us the awesome theme and discounted PSone Classics!
Happy Birthday! 15 years of awesome memories. I shall be celebrating by playing some of my favorite PlayStation One games on disc and a few bought in the store and hoping that the deals will increase my library. Oh, and that theme is pretty slick.
Playstation fell apart with the release of the PS3. SECA was stupid to deny 2D classics in favor of 3D garbage games. Face it 2D will always beat 3D crap.
