With only 12,300 Anniversary Edition consoles being made the PS4 will be rare, admittedly. The console was announced by Sony to celebrate 20 years of PlayStation.

In honour of the birthday the PS4 features the same colour scheme as the original PlayStation console and comes with a limited edition controller.

If you think that's bad though then why not check out some of these vintage games and gadgets which will set you back the same as a small car:

Incredibly Rare And Expensive Gadgets
Ducktales NES Box Art(01 of06)

This ultra-rare piece of box art comes from the original 'Ducktales' game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Final Fantasy 7(02 of06)

Final Fantasy has a special place in people's hearts. It was the first Final Fantasy game to use 3D graphics rendered in a 3D environment, it was also the first Final Fantasy game to get a proper launch in Europe. If there's a game that has a stronger following, you'd be hard-pressed to find it.
Game Boy Pocket(03 of06)

This rare and -- frankly outstanding -- gem is the Game Boy Pocket Glow. It's a Game Boy Pocket but with a glow in the dark body. Now while you might think that's absolutely useless because you can't use a Game Boy in the dark you'd be entirely right. The fact is though that they made it, because they're Nintendo and it looks amazing.
Nintendo 64 Rare(04 of06)

Nothing to see here except a mint condition Nintendo 64 Atomic Purple. This limited edition console came in a powerful shade of purple and included both a normal controller and the translucent atomic purple controller.
Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte(05 of06)

There was a time -- before everyone started dipping their phones in gold and chrome -- when people made subtly expensive phones. Nokia was one such brand to do this and the 8800 Carbon Arte remains to this day one of the best-looking gadgets ever made.
Polaroid Land 101 (06 of06)

It's a Polaroid camera that'll set you back nearly half a million dollars. No it can't grant wishes, instead it'll take some incredibly old (and very rare) instant film and then turn it into a photo in seconds. You're paying for nothing more than history, and in terms of photographic history, it doesn't get more iconic than this.
