The so -called Nintendo PlayStation is a console that Nintendo And Sony prepared joint efforts at the junction of the 80s and 90s. It was officially called SNES-CD, it never reached mass production-only prototypes remained.
It is believed that only one SNES-CD has survived to this day-it has been auctioned in the middle of last month. The rates are made, there are no more bets – the final cost of the console reached $ 360,000.
As Kotaku writes, the buyer wished to remain an unknown. Earlier, the auction reached 350,000 dollars, but then the bidders began to recall their rates, so the price fell to $ 280,000. The founder was called to purchase SNES-CD Oculus Palmer Lucky (Palmer Luckey), however, it seems that for some reason he left the cash race.
The SNES-CD prototype from the auction once belonged to the former president Sony Computer Entertainment America Olaf Olafsson (OLAF OLAFSSON). In the late 90s, he headed a banking corporation Advanta, but quickly left her. In 2009 Advanta began to arrange bankruptcy and put up her things for sale. Employee Advanta Terry Daibold (Terry Diebold) decided to see what they are given there and saw Snes-CD. He bought a console for only $ 75.
In 2015, the son https://eddyvegascasino.co.uk/ of Terry Dan Daibold (Dan Diebold) found a rare prefix in his father’s attic and shared a find on Reddit. After that, the family Daibolds I rode around the world and exhibited SNES-CD as an exhibit on various retrores.
In a commentary for Kotaku, Terry said that before the auction of 2020, for Snes-Cd, he was offered 1.$ 2 million, but he refused. It seems to be cheap! However, even for $ 360,000, the prototype has become the most expensive commemorative thing in the video game industry.
Supplement of March 9. According to Forbes, the customer of the console became Greg Maclemor (Greg Mclemore), businessman and founder of Toys sites.COM and Pets.Com. Maclean Cracations treats artifacts from the history of video games, but does not want to hide Snes-CD somewhere in his cabinets-it seems that the collector is going to show a prototype at exhibitions.

I hope that the former owner of the console is not fond of bets)

It looks like a fraud.
Well, the varnishes come out not such a fan of games, since I decided to give a prototype all the same. Although he fought his head against the wall, that he would definitely take her.
It seems that the person who bought a prototype is in a greater win, as the MB will now pay for this acquisition.
