Dudley chucked his Playstation out the window, thus was no longer
able to play Mega-Mutilation III, in GOBLET OF FIRE, set in 1994,
when (the list has agreed) Playstations were not yet available in UK
or US, but had been test-marketted in Japan.
I am not aware of any reference to a Playstation in HARRY POTTER AND
THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE. Please give me a quote with enough context
that I can find where in the book to look it up and see if Scholastic
changed it.
