'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.

Kimbrel Insane amount of money but all for a good cause. I do love the look of the console though.

I know its a little bizarre that a console could sell for this amount.

They're donating the money with matching gifts to Save the Children Japan. Just looked up some more info and other Anniversary consoles are selling up to 2k.

Crazy price for the console, but seeing as it's going to charity it's great really.
