Your wish is my command!

I had to watch eBay for a few months to get a reasonable price copy of _Digital Dreams: The Work of the Sony Design Center_ (1999, Paul Kunkel). The book is only going up in price.

I’m not near my scanner, and it would be very difficult to scan, but these photos seem legible enough (I skipped full page images/illustrations)

Some things you probably didn’t realise about the design of the original PlayStation:

- it was inspired by the Macintosh Plus
- the colour is grey with a hint of violet to counteract ageing/yellowing
- Sony acquired the PlayStation name from Yamaha
- it led to the VAIO range
