Popular Post Parker Posted December 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2014 This thing looks pretty awesome, actually. I get very nostalgic looking at it, which is kind of strange. Hello PlayStation.Blog readers! Today is a very special moment in our history. It’s been 20 years since the launch of the original PlayStation, which released in Japan on December 3rd, 1994. It seems like only yesterday! I’m so glad that we can celebrate this moment together. 20 years is a long time! In 1994, many outsiders thought that Sony was slightly crazy to launch the original PlayStation into an incredibly competitive gaming market. Who could blame them? Sony was (and is!) famous for engineering great electronics, audio equipment, and many other consumer devices. But game consoles?! Sony Computer Entertainment, founded by my mentor Ken Kutaragi, was a project borne out of sincere passion and deep admiration for the craft of game development. The mid 90s were an exciting time for game developers, driven by the explosion of powerful but affordable 3D graphics rendering hardware and the birth of many young and adventurous development studios. The original PlayStation was meant to embody that sense of adventure and discovery, that sense that anything was possible. We sincerely thank you for joining us on our exciting 20-year journey. You have made every bump and scrape we took along the way worthwhile. And there’s so much more to come! But I don’t want to go on for too long, because we have a big piece of news to reveal: a very special 20th Anniversary Edition PS4! How to pre-order in the US & Canada: PS4 20th Anniversary Edition will be available in very limited supply for pre-order starting Saturday, December 6th. Please watch the PlayStation Experience keynote starting Saturday morning at 10:00am Pacific Time to learn more. Our friend Sid Shuman has some details in the video above, so be sure to check it out and let us know what you think. I look forward to celebrating the anniversary and all things PlayStation with you this week in Las Vegas at the PlayStation Experience. Thanks for a great 20 years, and here’s to 20 more. Source: PlayStation Blog I can't believe it has already been 20 years since the PlayStation brand launched. Thank you for screwing Sony over, Nintendo. Without you we wouldn't have PlayStation.

Captain_Cutscene Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 If you bought two of them and kept them sealed and stored away safely. You could sell them in years time and live off the money nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Sony started the bomb-dropping for the week, more coming as the weekend draws closer This PS4 hits right in the nostalgia big time!! As much as I'd love to have one, the facts that only 12,300 will be distributed and that I don't have 500€ that I already own a PS4 push me off the race, I hope this PS4 makes 12,300 true gamers happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I had actually been saving up money to purchase a special edition PS4, I was thinking I would probably get a MGS edition if they made one) because the Gun Metal Gray PS3 was awesome. Unfortunately my wife totaled our only car (she can't drive my truck) so my play money is going to buying another car. Parker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothyonfire Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This is beautiful and would love to have this. I know there are idiots who will purchase this just to take a piss out of users who actually want to own one and charge an unbelievable amount.

DaivRules Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I wasn't planning on getting a PS4 for at least another year or two, but wow! I may just have to pre-order and sit on it until I get through more of my PSP/PS3/Vita backlog. That doesn't make me a hoarder, does it?! AHHHHH! I'm so torn!!

Parker Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Some higher quality pictures I ran across. I really, really hope Sony offer that awesome DualShock 4 as a standalone. They'd make a ton of money off of it. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
