10 Rarest Consoles In The World

From Xfire: "Nowadays, most gamers are worried about finding a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X at retail due to the global shortages, but there are plenty of consoles throughout the long history of video games that are - and were - much harder to get. For collectors, these are holy grails and many of the rarest console models can fetch high prices on the aftermarket.

We'll take a look at some of the rarest and most valuable video game consoles, ranging from one-off curios through prototypes to special editions."

I remember owning the Sega CDX back then. I also want to smash in the face the asshole who "borrowed it" for his Original Xbox only to never be seen again.

The 20th anniversary PS4 and the 500 million Pro are two on my most wanted list.

The CDX isnt exactly rare, you can find them but it will cost you. Rare should mean hard to find or even one of a kind, expensive is not the same as rare. I had the CDX and I still have a JVC Xeye, now that is also in the same club as the CDX (being $$$ and desirable) but what beats them both is the Pioneer CLD-A100 LaserActive. That is both $$$ and rare, especially a working one.

I have my 500 million Pro in my son's room now that I have my PS5. I toyed with the idea of selling it as even used (it's in fantastic shape still) it can fetch a pretty penny. But I'll probably keep it since it's a little more special being limited to 50,000 and having it's own unique number.

[azzkikr8502]

ive got both the 20yr and 500million. also have a few other pros which arent as rare. dont dare to open any of them lol

[Knushwood Butt]

Not as rare but I have an unopened Death Stranding limited Pro.

There is a guy local to me that has one for $650 and Im very tempted to jump on it. As it is, I do love collecting the variants. I'm on consolevariations.com so you can see the ones I have and the ones on my wish list: https://consolevariations.c...

@azzkikr8502 - too late, I used the 500 million to replace my OG PS4 Pro. But I take care of all my hardware.

Even more rare than the PS 20year/500mill is the Taco Bell PS4 that only had about 6k produced, i believe.

[darthv72]

I have that one and the two One X editions (Platinum and Eclipse). In reality, the real rare Taco bell variant is the XB360 one. I think only 5 were made and a buddy of mine has one of them. I love the purple on it.

The must own console to own is the finger licking good KFC console.

[darthv72]

I don't know if I want that console but I do want their Xbox controller.

[Imortus_san]

I have the Multimega it's the european version of Sega Genesis CDX.

Even broken and severely scratched some of these machines still command a pretty penny. I wouldn't mind owning the SNES tv that is an odd ball but it's neat. I have to get my CDX fixed they break very easily even if they are barely used I also wouldn't mind getting my hands on the Bravia tv that had the PS2 built into it. I have to get my Nomad a Mc Will mod and I had the capacitor redone on it and my Game Gear. I also have the white crystal clear OG Xbox and the MNT Dew OG Xbox. The 20th Anniversary PS4 and 10 million model PS1 I missed out on the Aiwa Sega CD I have seen on Ebay and it's expensive.

The other rarest consoles that should have been on this list are from Korea built by Samsung and Hyundai. Like the Gam*Boy, Gam*Boy II, Super Gam*Boy, Super Aladdin Boy, Super Aladdin Boy II all Sega machines built by Samsung. The Hyundai built Comboy is also rare Hyundai also built the SNES and Gameboy variant back then and they fetch a pretty penny. All because South Korea had some weird rule about importing stuff from Japan. So Samsung built the Sega machines and Hyundai built the Nintendo machines. I would love to get my hands on a Samsung Genesis and Samsung SMS and a Hyundai NES and SNES.

Panasonic Q GameCube always looked pretty cool to me. I saw one in the flesh way back for about £500 when I was a poor student.
