On Playstations and Dates

Been doing a little bit of research.

The Playstation was first available for regular import into the UK in 
around December 1994 - exact date is hard to pin down. Limited numbers 
of machines were certainly being imported for games development purposes 
before June 1994 - I've no idea how much before - and some of these did 
get into the hands of private citizens if they were willing to pay the 
money.

That comes from looking through old messages from a computer and video 
games e-mail list I was on at the time, which had a significant UK 
membership. I had to search for the disks I had messages archived on 
(and now I have a huge desire to replay Eye of the Beholder).
