The PlayStation is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. The console was released on 3 December 1994 in Japan. The console was the first of the PlayStation lineup of home video game consoles. It primarily competed with the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn as part of the fifth generation of video game consoles. The final revision to the original PlayStation was the SCPH-9000 series, released in May 1999. These had the same hardware as the SCPH-7500 models, except the parallel port was removed and the size of the PCB is further reduced. The removal of the parallel port is partially due to the fact that Sony did not release an official add-on for it; it was used for cheat cartridges for the parallel port to defeat the regional lockouts and copy protection; Gameshark was the only item made available. The PlayStation Link Cable connection was supported by only a handful of games. The SCPH-9000 was the last model to support it, as the Serial I/O port was removed on all PS one models.
