Gosh that is slick, wonderful design and looks nearly prestine. Hope it can make it to a museum one day.
- That’s a great point, I hadn’t even noticed the absence of UV degradation until you mentioned it. It likely hasn’t seen an undrawn curtain for most of it’s existence
- It seems that it is missing the play/pause button and the CD tray's front.
  
  Woah, a CD tray you're right! I was imagining it slot loaded like a Wii, but I reckon that wasn't around or too expensive hah. Shame about the missing bits
Sweet. Got any games for it? The Legend of Bandicoot maybe?
- Metal Gear Mario perhaps?
Ha! Right you are Ken!
Now over to Guy LeDouche with Sinkers and Floaters!
Oh, different Ken?
Sorry.
This is, at least for me, the holy grail of videogames relics.
- I'm still super fond of the Net Yaroze development PlayStations. This would be cool to have, but I'm not sure what you could do with it.
  
  Develop games for the PlayStation
You should cross-post to !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee! Its not a perfect fit but this is such a beautiful object, I'm sure folks there would love to see it!
- Done, thanks!
Play / Pause button is missing.
Sorry mate, the most I can give you is $20. Take it or leave it.
- $30 and its yours.
That is a beautiful system.
Sick, this is a genuinely cool piece of hardware history I wish we had a chance to explore more.
i wonder how much hardware is added besides the CD drive...
- Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_NES_CD-ROM#Technical_specifications
  
  omg, how did I forget BenHeck tore one down, ty!
- I bet it has a killer sound processor
I wonder what this would go for on auction? 500k?
- The previous one was 360k.
But it says Sony PlayStation on it
