Sega Pluto

[Goldberg]

Just heard about this... Appears to be bollocks if you ask me.

Only 2 exist, both prototypes and they look like Saturns in a new shell.
One guy claims he bought it for $1 at a garage sale...

Any other thoughts on it?

I thought it had been confirmed by sega.

Tried to find something to back that up but couldn't in the quick search.

I remember reading something on ign and maxconsole

Yeah they all seem to have people commenting on the validity of it but no links.

Actual auction that ended without a buyer.
Reserve was not met.

Looks legit to me.

$15,500 wow hope it was legit. he had most of the console ever made looking at the vid.

Which begs the question, why sell it?

Could be some Sega Viral thingy-ma-bobs???
How easy would it be for some Sega folk to knock up a 'prototype' and make a quick buck?
