High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Sony CDP-101 was the world's first commercially released Compact Disc player. The system was launched in Japan on October 1, 1982 at a cost of 168,000 yen. The Japan-only launch was partially due to Philips, Sony's partner in the development of the CD format, being unable to meet the original agreed launch date. Rather than agree a full postponement, Sony agreed to delay the launch of the format outside of Japan by six months. The Philips CD100 launched in November 1982, although early Philips players contained some Sony components. In line with the agreement, the system was launched worldwide on March 1983.
