These pics are from a Playstation 1 development version, it's no SNES CD controller or anything. These were posted on a forum in 2001, a long time ago, it seems like this guy is selling it now
It's just a beta version of the PSX controller. Not worth 3000 bucks!

Isn't it Sony or Nintendo? Not Philips related?

I can see why it could possibly be mistaken for a SNES/NES controller based on the generic layout of the buttons and such, but still it doesnt look like what its claiming to be, i mean my old PC joypad should be a "Sony SNES" controller as it has the exact same layout/shape/design, eaven though Sony had absolutely nothig to do with SNES if I remember correctly lol.

what a gip a development PSX - who wants that?? at least its not a fake, but it is false advertising... if he was selling the actual system it would cost a large fortune though!
gtdalby - it's my understanding that the SNES CD was a joint development between Philips, Sony and Nintendo.

I would assume a so-called 'prototype' PSX controller shouldn't have a serial port plug, right?

Early Playstation (Or Play Station with a space, I dunno exactly what it is) used Serial connectors as the ports

"In June of 1991, at the Chicago CES, Sony officially announced the Play Station (space intentional). As originally announced, the Play Station would have a port to play Super Nintendo cartridges, as well as a CD-ROM drive that would play 680 megabyte Sony Super Discs."
