CatPix Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 why does the original playstaion look like it could fit like an 8 inch disk inside i mean it looks huge in there Aesthetics. If you open a Playsattion, the motherboard take all of the space. If they had shrinked the CD tray to be fitting the standard disc size, it would look odd.

Flojomojo Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 With lots of space on the edges, you can stick fat fingers on either side for pulling out the disc. And aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardK Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The door wasn't much bigger than any of the CD players I had back then. Sony Discman anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 aye they didnt seem out of place to any other non portable clamshell cd playing gizmo of the time, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter667 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I never thought the door was over large. Conveniently sized to easily swap discs. I recall most cd based things being generous with space like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
