Over the past several months we’ve been working intensively on the final stages of PlayStation: The First 30 Years – refining production details, fact-checking design anecdotes, and carrying out meticulous image checks.

However, the care taken during these final stages means that production and freight timelines have shifted.

As a result, we are now expecting PlayStation: The First 30 Years to begin shipping in November this year, rather than during the springtime as originally projected.

We’re confident these final refinements have helped turn an already ambitious project into something truly special. If you have any questions at all about your pre-order, please don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@readonlymemory.com

ARK/8 LA @ark8net now carries books from Read-Only Memory @readonlymemorycom

British publisher ROM has become one of the most respected voices documenting video game culture — from deep dives into Japanese game development to the history of the most iconic consoles ever created, as well as unexpected subjects like the social rituals of LAN parties.

Blending meticulous research with exceptional design, their books feel as much like art objects as they do cultural archives.

We’re proud for ARK/8 LA to become ROM’s first official retail stockist, and excited to share their work with our community.

As we continue shaping the space, publications like these are an important part of the world we want to build around games.
