I've heard stories of people buying or being encouraged to buy a PS1 because it also played CDs.

Never heard of that. Audio cd's have been around for a while by then. And cd players weren't expensive. But I could be wrong. I was not really in to consoles at that point.

I wasn't around then but i think the stories I heard was "kid wants his own cd player and gaming console so he buys a PS1"
