Snes prince of persia
(Sony previously built the incredible, sample-based sound system built into every SNES console.) I encourage anyone unfamiliar with this Nintendo PlayStation system to review our previous coverage. There's also the added romance of it representing the final collaboration between Nintendo and Sony before their plans for a Super Nintendo CD-ROM system fell apart over licensing deals.

As the only known version of this hardware in existence, it's the gaming world's rarest console, if not the rarest item altogether. We've written a lot about this Nintendo PlayStation over the years, and for good reason. An enclosed photo gallery confirms that this is indeed the same Nintendo PlayStation that I was lucky to go hands-on with in 2016, complete with ugly-yet-expected yellowing of its exterior plastic body (owing to its flame-retardant materials' oxidation over time). After a whirlwind, five-year world tour, this incredibly rare, one-of-a-kind device's handlers have had enough-they are putting it up for sale.Īs of press time, the Heritage Auctions listing is up to a bid of $15,600, with 22 days to go. Original story: In 2015, the fabled "Nintendo PlayStation" turned out to be a real thing, discovered in an estate sale of all places. Greg McLemore, who previously founded the sites and, has operated a private, sought-after games collection for over two decades, alongside the Killer List of Video Games site of gaming history. That turned out to be true, as confirmed by a Forbes interview with the winning bidder, a '90s website inventor and investor turned game-history titan. The Nintendo PlayStation listing only received one bid of $300,000 during the live auction process, and nobody lodged a follow-up bid-which, at the time, implied that Luckey's previous high bid was surpassed without him responding with a bid of his own.

As he wrote on Twitter: "Who are the other nutters who keep bidding against me?" Should Luckey's boasts have proven true, that would have left him as the "high" bidder ahead of Heritage Auctions' live auction event at $280,000. Shortly after the auction went live in February, Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey put his hat into the ring by declaring his intent to be the listing's highest bidder. The winning bidder technically paid roughly $380,000 for the winning bid, owing to an additional "buyer's premium" fee attached to the auction. Update, March 6: After a remarkable bidding war over a span of three weeks, the Heritage Auctions listing for the only known Nintendo PlayStation concluded on Friday, March 6, at the unbelievable price of $300,000.
