My seven year old PlayStation has decided it has had enough. I haven’t thoroughly tested/diagnosed it, but it looks terminal. It’s not detecting any disks, and booting to the music/memory card screen. Unfortunately, my PC is too old to run an emulator.

I’m still working on saving for a new PC (I would love a Mac, but thay are just too expensive for what I need at home). Looks like I’ll have to save for a console too. Or should I just buy a better PC?

I haven’t researched thoroughly, but If I had to make a spot decision now I would go with the PC/XBox combo, rather than PC/PS2 or fast gaming PC, but I’ll do some more research.

Update: Well it’s not terminal! Woohoo! Nothing pulling apart and fiddling with the drive unit couldn’t fix. Still, I want your opinions: which is the best way to go for a computer/gaming setup?

Update2: It is terminal
