Huge Console Auction Debuts

Posted by michael on from the comic-book-guy dept.

neura writes "In quite possibly the largest console auction ever, someone is selling just about every development kit and production game console ever made in Japan. They also have listed tons (almost literally) of software to go along with the systems. Anybody ever seen the original Super Famicom development system? The pictures alone are worth taking a gander. :)"

    Who has $100,000 to shell out on antique video game systems?

    If the guy really wanted to make money, he should have:

    1. Sold them individually
    2. Set up some kind of "viewing center" and charge admission. There are plenty of hardcore gamers and just plain curious people that would shell out $10 to check out his collection.

    Yeah, if we could see them... :P

  3. Technically, he does not own the dev stations. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The dev stations are leased from the console companies, who all reserve the right to take them back if they want. Technically he doesn't own the Dreamcast devkit, and especially not the Sony devkits.

    So how many grams does one bit weigh? Kinda reminds me of the Dilbert strip where PHB gets told to erase files on the harddrive of his laptop to make it lighter.

    The phrase is originaly from Night Court. A Russian fellow by the name of Yackov Smearnof was known for saying it all the time back in 1984.
