The rarest PlayStation 4 in the entire world is up for online auction in Japan.
The prize to be won is a 20th Anniversary PlayStation 4. Only 12,300 of these special systems are in existence. The specific console up for auction happens to be the very first one ever made.
The console is being sold by Sony through Yahoo! Auctions. All proceeds will go towards Save the Children Japan. According to Kotaku, Sony will also donate the same amount that is raised in the auction.
Bidding started on Friday and will end on January 25. Currently, the highest bid is ¥1.4 million yen, or $11,850. The price will most likely climb higher as the auction comes to a close.
Much to the despair of Western folks, Sony will not make the console available outside of Japan. People in the United States and Europe will still be able to bid on the 20th Anniversary PS4s available on eBay.
The 20th Anniversary PS4 was released by Sony in December 2014 in order to commemorate the first PlayStation’s Japanese launch in December 1994. The consoles were sold out in just a few minutes.
