Should I get a new PS1 and game? Is it worth it?

Question

I’ve got Final Fantasy IX for the PS1, but I’m terrible at looking after things and the discs are in bad condition; 1, 3, and 4 are badly scratched and 2 is thrown away because it got smashed.

I’ve been trying to play disc 1 on the PS2 but it says ‘disc read error’ and none of my PS1 games work on the PS2 at all, so no hope there.

Soo I’ve been playing disc 1 on the PS1, but ‘cos it’s kinda old, it randomly resets every so often and besides, the game isn’t amazing quality.

I REALLY want to play FFIX, I don’t know why. But if I get a new game, would I have to get a new PS1, too? I don’t want to get a PS3 and games aren’t working on the PS2…so that would be another purchase; I’ve searched for reliable, new systems and games and they’re not too cheap.

So can I have your opinion? Should I get FFIX again, maybe try it on the system, and then get another PS1 if it still doesn’t work – I’m somewhat wary because I’ve got a Wii & PS2 (that seems to be clocking out too; a lot of my PS2 games freeze) and I know I won’t play anything else on the PS1. Or should I forget about it and save up for something else? I don’t know why, I just really want to play FFIX…

Thanks for your help!
