Description
The SCPH-1001 and SCPH-1002 are the launch PlayStation models for North America and PAL regions. The console went on sale in North America on 9 September 1995 at US$299, in Europe on 29 September 1995 (299 pounds in the UK) and in Australia on 15 November 1995. The hardware matches the Japanese SCPH-3000, so there is no S-Video port.
