I wonder what this would go for on auction? 500k?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

The previous one was 360k.

Gosh that is slick, wonderful design and looks nearly prestine. Hope it can make it to a museum one day.

That’s a great point, I hadn’t even noticed the absence of UV degradation until you mentioned it. It likely hasn’t seen an undrawn curtain for most of it’s existence

It seems that it is missing the play/pause button and the CD tray's front.

Woah, a CD tray you're right! I was imagining it slot loaded like a Wii, but I reckon that wasn't around or too expensive hah. Shame about the missing bits

I noticed it because in the article there is a photo of the previous known Playstation and has something that this one is missing at the front.

Sweet. Got any games for it? The Legend of Bandicoot maybe?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Metal Gear Mario perhaps?

Ha! Right you are Ken!

Now over to Guy LeDouche with Sinkers and Floaters!

Oh, different Ken?

Sorry.

Sick, this is a genuinely cool piece of hardware history I wish we had a chance to explore more.

This is, at least for me, the holy grail of videogames relics.

I'm still super fond of the Net Yaroze development PlayStations. This would be cool to have, but I'm not sure what you could do with it.

Develop games for the PlayStation

You should cross-post to [email protected]! Its not a perfect fit but this is such a beautiful object, I'm sure folks there would love to see it!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Done, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Play / Pause button is missing.

Sorry mate, the most I can give you is $20. Take it or leave it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

$30 and its yours.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

That is a beautiful system.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)
