  Mascots Japan Redesign likely refers to Crash Bandicoot, who was redesignes to  be cuter on Japanese Covers and comercials. Fun fact: the Crash Dance originates from Crash 1 commercials from japan, and naughty dog liked it so much they put it in Crash 2 onward.

  "there were a ton of unnecessarily creepy ads for the playstation. Just check a few of these out!" And then I immediately got an actual ad. Terrifying.

  God I’m so old. I definitely had PS1 with controllers without DualShock. It was a BIG DEAL when they came out.

  I think the 1999 concert entry has to do with Sony hosting a &quot;Milk Can&quot; concert to promote Um Jammer Lammy. It&apos;s covered in the Event Center of PlayStation Underground Issue 3.4.

  Mascots Japan Redesign is most likely referring to the multiple mascot characters who had different designs in marketing and on box art in Japan. Crash Bandicoot was given a simple redesign where his hair tufts were orange like his fur and his eyes had Pac-an shaped pupils, and characters like Spyro the Dragon and Jak &amp; Daxter were given more cute, chibi-esque box art while remaining identical in game. <br><br>1999 Concert may be referring to the 1999 dual release of the obscure games &quot;Le Concert: Fortissimo&quot; and &quot;Le Concert: Pianissimo&quot;, two game that would get single disc compilation in titled &quot;Le Concert&quot; in 2000.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5btYA7HdBjI&amp;t=2220">37:00</a> Actually, Sony did it 3 times, with the PS3 being about half the price of contemporary Blu-Ray players, which allowed it to still sell decently well in its earlier days before the price drop.
