'00001' Anniversary Edition PS4 sells for $128K in charity auction

4.6
The first-off-the-line Anniversary Edition PlayStation 4 went for ¥15.135 million in an online charity auction last night, which converts to a stunning $128,000. Sony Japan's auction ended this weekend with the huge bid on the special grey console, which is unit "00001" of 12,300.

"We appreciate all who participated in the auction and are surprised at the highest bid price, which was higher than our expectations," a Sony representative told the Wall Street Journal, perhaps with an agape mouth and a lack of blinking.

Does nobody here understand that the money is going to a charity?

GILF Don't know why you would spend this much on one of these although in 10 years time it will probably be worth 10 times the amount


I'm sure that the person who actually purchased the console would be a collector or someone along those lines.

HuxPosted:

JRMH This is ridiculous. Not even a good console. Lol.


It's for charity and chances are that amount of money means nothing to the new owner. Stop with the console bashing too, that died off years ago.
