Sony Playstation: an Excellent Videogame Console
The new Sony Play Station is a 32 bit videogame console of fifth generation. Launched by Sony Computer Entertainment in December 1994, it was the first of the ubiquitous PlayStation series of console and hand-held game devices. It was the first the PlayStation and PS Video Game console to reach the 100 million mark. Sony had plans of developing a Nintendo compatible, which was a Sony-branded console more of a home Entertainment System playing based on the format used in SNES-CD discs but later got it shelved. .
The PlayStation was launched for the first time in Japan in 1994, later in the U.S. in 1995 and the Europe in the same year. It tasted a huge success in the American continent which was repeated by its successor, the PlaySation 2. The logo of the PlayStation was designed by Manabu Sakamoto, who also designed the logo for Sony's VAIO computer products. PlayStation enjoyed one of the longest production runs in the video game industry since its launch eleven years back.
In the production run, the Sony PlayStation had to experience various variants, mostly accompanied by a change in the part number. The Sony Play Station was earlier based on substantially the same hardware as the SCPH-750x and 900x, other model consoles, but with a deleted the serial port, the controller / memory card ports moved to the main PCB and the power supply replaced with a DC-DC converter which was also on the main PCB.
Sony also released a version dubbed "Dual Shock" later, which included a controller with 2 analog sticks and a built in force-feedback feature.

Can you buy a Sony Playstation 3 console in the US and use it in Malaysia?
I'm studying in the US and is planning to get the console. However during my holidays I would like to bring it back home to share it with my younger siblings. Anyone knows if there is a regional lock for the systems in US? or any incompatibility?
Have a look at my answer here:

That should give you everything you need to know. Basically, TV type and power wattage are the two major things you have to worry about. I don't remember if Malaysia uses PAL or NTSC, but if they use NTSC over there, that plays in your favor since that is what the US uses.
