In what was probably the most expensive video game console ever to be sold at an auction, a rare model of a Nintendo PlayStation console was sold last week for a whopping US$360,000 (RM1.54mil).

The sale comes just weeks after the same US auction house sold a copy of Super Mario Bros in a near-mint condition for US$100,150 (RM428,452), setting a world record for a console game.
