According to Ars Technica, for over a decade now, the only "official" way to play Hideo Kojima's cult classic, P.T.—the long-discontinued "playable trailer" for Kojima's canceled "Silent Hills" project—has been via one of the increasingly rare PlayStation 4s that previously downloaded a copy during its monthslong availability window.

This technology story centres on the United States. Names and organisations mentioned in the coverage include PC, Hideo Kojima and Silent Hills.
