Hi everyone! I hope that you are all as excited as we are after E3 for the rapidly approaching launch of PlayStation 4. Duly, we thought this would be the ideal time to take a look back at the history of PlayStation.

For the next eight weeks we’re going to take a trip down memory lane as we remember the consoles, the games and the experiences that have shaped nearly 20 years of classic console gaming.

This is your opportunity to share some of your best gaming moments with us and your fellow gamers. Make sure you check out PlayStation Blog, PlayStation forums and our Twitter and Facebook pages to get involved! Not only that, but also make sure you visit the PlayStation Store and grab some great discounts on some classic titles.

We will start our journey by spending the next two weeks taking a look back at the original PlayStation – a console so popular it went on to become the first platform to sell over 100 million units worldwide.

One of my earliest memories was playing the original Worms on my friends PlayStation. I wasn’t allowed one as my dad thought I wouldn’t leave my room, so at any available opportunity I was straight over to my friend Richard’s place to test my missile launching skills on his unsuspecting (well, very suspecting) worms. That was it for me – I was hooked!

Please share your stories below or utilise our favourite hashtag #PlayStationMemories to share them with the rest of the world. Make sure you also check out the PlayStation forums to take part in the PlayStation Video Game War. Finally, as promised, please see below for a selection of discounted classic titles to whet your appetite. All deals have an additional 10% saving for PS Plus members and will run until 10th July 2013.
