You'll soon get a shot at owning a weird piece of video game history as the Nintendo PlayStation will go up for auction in two months. Back in October, it was announced that this piece of tech would be going up for sale, and now it's coming true. Simply for the fact that the current owner (Terry Diebold) has traveled around a lot to show this off, and has made ZERO money in the process. In fact, the trips are costing them money out-of-pocket with not even a display fee being given. Despite being offered bids in the past that went into seven figures, he will now put it up for bid with Heritage Auctions and allow the public at large to bid on it.

What exactly is this piece of history worth? Quite a lot, depending on who you ask. This is one of the few items that exists of a time when Nintendo and Sony were working together to make a console. Short version: the deal never made it past concept. Sony took their ideas and made the original PlayStation, while Nintendo stayed with cartridge games and made the N64. You can see a complete history of it here. We'll see what its truly worth to some of the richest collectors in the world in about eight weeks' time.
