The GayStation, the “gay” version of the PlayStation, which we told you about last week, has sold for over $4100.
The one-of-a-kind console was expected to sell for around 2500 dollars, so this result is quite impressive.
The full amount goes to the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Rights (RFSL), as a part of the Stockholm Pride Festival.
A normal PS4 sells for $400 in the United States, £349 in the U.K., and €399 in Europe. This is Webhallen’s statement at the start of the auction, last month:
“For many young people, the world of games will become a refuge to escape the taunting or worse of real life. On Webhallen, we are gamers in heart and mind, and are keen that as many as possible have the opportunity to feel welcome and enjoy the world’s largest and fastest growing interest: video games.”
