© OculusOculus VR co-founder Palmer Luckey says he is currently in the top billing at the mythical Nintendo Playstation console, which went up for auction this week.
Bidding started at $ 31,000, but is now up $ 350,000, and Lucky wants on social media that his bid is now taking the lead. Since the owners have already rejected a $ 1.2 million offer, the price could go up dramatically.
If tried On Twitter why he wants to be this bizarre Hardware entity, Luckey replied:
Because I have a very large collection of console games, and I want to computer and save video history. Full VR will ensure that the original experience is lasting, but we need to keep these things alive and active in the moment.
Public access is just a matter of time, I've been keeping things low for a while. I'm storing original copies in the most high-end videogame repository ever built.
Although it seems Luckey's intention is to buy the unit and make sure it is documented and maintained, rather than seeing it fall into personal collection and locked forever, not everyone enjoys its logical path:
Luckey – who has a staggering amount of his $ 730 million, so he can push that number up if needed – is famous for launching Oculus VR, the company that led the latest Virtual Reality update.
He sold the company to Facebook in 2014 for nearly $ 3 billion and was allegedly fired from the company in 2017 after it became clear that he was secretly supporting Donald Trump in his run for president.
He later founded Anduril Industries, which creates private drones and sensors for military purposes.
