The original Sony PlayStation launched in Europe in 1995. The SCPH-1002 was the common PAL launch model. Distinct grey case, three controller ports, parallel I/O on the back (removed on later revisions). Plays both PS1 CD games and audio CDs.
Pricing in 2026: EUR 70-180 for working PAL launch units; less common first-generation revisions trade higher with collectors.
