A standard PlayStation 4 console will set you back $399 at your local retailer. To grab the first of Sony’s 20th Anniversary PS4s, though, you would have needed to shell out nearly $130,000 at a recent auction.<\/p>\n

Yep, that’s right: the winning bidder on the 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4 with the prestigious 00001 serial number paid a whopping \u00a515,135,000 (US$128,000). The auction was run through Yahoo Auctions, and all proceeds will be donated to Save The Children Japan.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, a Sony representative stated “We appreciate all who participated in the auction and are surprised at the highest bid price, which was higher than our expectations”.<\/p>\n

Late last year, Sony announced the 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4 as a throwback to the original PlayStation, coloring their newest console in classic grey. Only 12,300 units will be made available globally, although it’s too late to buy one: the $500 console sold out minutes after going on sale.<\/p>\n

Other 20th Anniversary PS4s are selling for over $3,000 on eBay, though occasionally you can find them for cheaper.<\/p>\n
