In the US, they were sold to whoever could click the buy button fast enough, but in the UK, the company took a more convoluted approach. First was the PlayStation '94 Shop in London (http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/10/sony-playstation-94-store-tour/), where 94 consoles were put aside for the low price of £19.94 (with all proceeds going to gaming charity GamesAid). Then came a partnership with GAME (http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/15/how-to-grab-a-20th-anniversary-edition-ps4-online-in-the-uk-this/), which required gamers to solve riddles, click iconic PlayStation characters and enter a competition before anyone else.
