The 'Original PlayStation Life-Size Multi-Pouch BOOK' comes in two versions, 'BLUE' and 'BLACK', but the one I got this time was the 'BLACK' version. It looks like this, the dimensions are A4 size and the thickness is about 4cm.

When you turn the cover over, you will see a monochrome photo of the original PlayStation full-size multi-pouch.

There was also a feature on series that are popular worldwide along with PlayStation, such as ' Gran Turismo ' and ' FINAL FANTASY .'

It came with a full-sized multi-purpose pouch for the original PlayStation.

On the front there are slots for memory cards and controllers, and the zipper tab has the familiar '△○×□' markings found on controllers.

On the back, external expansion terminals for connecting peripheral devices with cables, communication terminals, audio output terminals, video output terminals, power terminals, etc. are printed ...

The exhaust port on the back was also reproduced.

When I opened the zipper, the inside was lined with PlayStation logos. There was also a mesh pocket on the back of the top, which seemed convenient for storing small items.

The size is 18.5cm length, 26.5cm width, and 5cm height.

At the time of writing, it was also available for purchase on Amazon.co.jp.
