PlayStation History

To celebrate the launch of the PlayStation in the US, the PlayStation Museum presents an excellent insight into the history of the PlayStation.  This special originally aired on G4 television and has been edited down to 2 parts.  Includes interviews with Peter Dille, Phil Harrison, Andrew House, Lorne Lanning, and Bernie Stolar. 

Below is a run-down of the major historical events throughout the lifespan of the PlayStation.  I would like to give credit to and thank Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Sony Computer Entertainment America who gathered a vast majority of these events and summarized them.  Most of the following is unabridged, however the museum did remove most PlayStation 2 references and added hyperlinks as well as a few other tidbits.
