A Special Look into the Pioneer LaserActive Volume 1
8Hey everyone, Welcome back to another edition of PlayStation GameZown Mini Reviews, where we take a look into PlayStation 3s Multiplatform, and Exclusive games. Due to a few subscriber requests to do another Pioneer LaserActive video, I went ahead and made the following informational video about the rare and expensive machine. Sadly, not everything could be discussed about this machine in a tiny 15 minute episode, so it had to be made into two seperate videos.

SPECIAL NOTE: Volume 2 has been postponed for over 3 years now, and possibly will not be made, and I do apologize for that. I have been extremely busy and never was able to gather all the needed material to finish that video. I hope to do it one day, but I know it won't be any time soon. Again, I am sorry about that. I hope you like the other videos I have to watch in the meantime. Thank you for your patience.
