PS4 Pro $499 1TB Star Wars battlefront 2 special edition.
PS4 pro $698
PS4 Pro but still PS5 will be more expensive but still I am going to buy that.
At one time? The PS3 60 gb model. But I wound up buying four Xbox 360s.
PS3 slim, $680
Me: The most expensive console I ever bought was the...
My Parents: AHEM....
Facts 😂😂😂
Top ten over the top video game commercials.
"You cannot beat us!"
@@JamesDavy2009 Oh, God. Don't make me remember that.
Suggest it at their website
GENESIS DOES!!!
Make that a Top 20 Creepiest video game commercials
3do made By EA founder
Everyone:Oh,it’s all coming together now...
I'm surprised they didn't charge for add ons
Makes sense why it failed.
Insert wee bey meme here...
EA from the 90s was a much more respected company, your point here is weak
George irfx ,it’s ea....
The PS3 was so expensive at launch cause Blu-ray Disc was a new format back in 2006.
A lot of people bought it as a cheaper blu ray player actually. It was also described as such on internet and articles
1. Phillips CD-i.
2. Neo Geo.
Impressive, and I still love the old PS3 console.
Found a fat PS3 on the curb and playing it. Amazing to think it was once so expensive....still awesome to play.
I wish my pay was inflated like these console prices
We all do
For real
actually in many cases back then people were paid more than today (adjusted for inflation.) It's just the pay rise didn't catch up...
Totally
You mean pay kept up with inflation...yeah right
As expensive as some of these were, when you're talking about expensive technology, nothing holds a candle to the word-processor. For all you young people out there, A wordprocessor was a computer with no games, no internet nothing but one program. A word-processing-program that would make Microsoft Word 1.0 seem like the highest of high-tech. These machines cost between $10 000 - $50 000. No you didn't misread and I didn't mistype. A word processor in the 80's cost between ten and fifty THOUSAND Dollars.
It was basically a typewriter with a screen, and I doubt most of them came with a printer.
@@Chaos89P Did you read my mind? I thought about putting "basically a typewriter with a screen" in my text, but I couldn't find a good way to fit it in.
Seems like the work Boy really was ahead of it's time
My dad was lucky enough to use one of those when doing his thesis. He said they a security guard in the room to make sure nobody was messing with them without permission, and seeing how much those things cost I don't blame them.
12:08 He says 26Gb model and, while true, the 20Gb model did not have WiFi, It did have an HDMI port. I think what he meant to say is the 20Gb model did not have the multimedia card reader on the front of the system like the 60Gb did. I still have my 20Gb PS3. The power supply went on it a long time ago though.
Back in the 90s, my Papi bought me NES, PS1, N64, & Dreamcast. Good Years! I just turned 28 years old a week and a half ago
♥ ♥ ♥
You never had a SNES?!
You totally skipped the 16 bit era
Josh 64 unfortunately no, I did own GBA in 2001 so it’s pretty much the same thing
Apollo Uno never knew about it until Xbox 360 came out in 2005
NES, Neo Geo, SNES, 3DO, Sega Genesis, PS3, PS2, Xbox, Xbox360 and Sega Saturn.
Gotta love these video game consoles.
🙂
Wow. It really puts things into perspective for me growing up. I had 3 older brothers, but we had the Atari 2600, Intellevision (which I think broke) and then the Intellevision II. Also had like one of the first VCRs and a couple movies.
Interesting video WatchMojo!! Have a great day!!
Great list and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
I knew the 3DO and CDi would be up here, plus the appearance of Johnny Arcade from Video Power
Interesting list..I remember getting the 5200 as a kid. It was $219.99 at JC Penny and was 2600 backwards compatible with an addon. Centipede, Pacman and Defender all blew away their 2600 versions. Before the refresh it was also a 4 player capable console.
We had Intellivision when I was a kid and it was awesome. The controller had a number key pad, a directional disc and 2 buttons on each side so it was capable of doing a multitude of functions unlike most others at the time. The one drawback was that the coiled cable wasn't long enough and would get tangled easily. They even released a voice synthesizer module for it called Intellivoice so you could play games that were programmed to 'speak' in a computerized voice. It was kind of cheesy but impressive at the time. Otherwise a cool gaming system for that era.
Ok boomer
It can be a pretty cheap hobby. Snowboarding, golfing, professional theater/Broadway, backpacking, climbing can be much more expensive. Depends on if you want all the latest and greatest when they come out, I suppose.
Still have my PS3 and uses it as BluRay player. $600 amortized over 14 years isn’t that bad.
Edit: PS3 was at the time the cheapest BluRay player available. Change your perspective and it was a bargain.
That is expensive still, but you make valid points. I guess perspective is everything.
Though, many people still remembered how enormously terrible a DVD Player the PS2 was (at least at its lauch), thus rightfully questioning the PS3's capability in this regard as well, and as such not taking the BluRay Player capability into account when deciding whether to buy or not.
I paid around $700 for my PS3 when I got it years ago, mine was an out of production model (the 60GB) when I got it though and it still works
Mine got hit by lighting, it still works but the hdmi died
I brought mine back in 2008 for £300-ish, I don't remember the exact price. Unfortunately mine was killed by the yellow light of death.
rav3style mine only had a hard drive crash around 10 years ago but it got fixed, it is only having fan issues now
Jeez. That is a chunk of change
Drew Breezy I agree but it was worth it. During the time that I’ve owned it my ps3 has only ever had one major repair that was needed (I believe it was a crashed hard drive but it wasn’t able to do anything) and the only other problems it has had were heating problems (I got two external cooling fans for it and I just ordered an internal cooling fan to replace the old one). Another reason why I feel it was worth the price is that it has full backwards compatibility with all PlayStation games and had a built in Blu-ray player (I believe it was the first console to have that)
2:01 is that the kkk
Ha I thought it was sperm
Sega was edgy back then. Way past cool.
I remember that Neo Geo commercial. Don't remember that particular 3DO commercial, but I know there was one that would play during weekday afternoon cartoons. That said, I also remember finding out the price of both as a kid and being just fine with my Super Nintendo. Didn't know anyone with either of those consoles during that era.
One system that often gets forgotten is the Pioneer LaserActive. One of the few video game systems to feature laser disc compatibility, it was $970.00 when it launched in September 1993. Adjusted for inflation, this would be $1739.29. And much like the CD-i, it lacked quality software (even less interactivity than your average FMV game from the same period) and sold poorly, not even clearing half a million units, per Wikipedia. It did have modules that one could purchase to play Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Turbografx-16/PC Engine, and Sega CD/Turbografx CD games with incredible fidelity, but apparently those modules were pricey, and if you already dropped a G on a system, you're probably not ready to buy all the accessories.
E3 1994
Sera’s press conference
Sega:”The Sega Saturn is available now at all major retailers, and is priced at $399”
Crowd: “$399?! WTF!?”
Later at Sony’s press conference
Sony: “$299”
Crowd:* cheers and laughter
Very cool video!
The Amiga cd 32 should have at least been a honorable mention considering it had a price tag of $400 when it was released in 1993
The NEO GEO had a price of $649, in 1990
I own two Odyssey IIs, including having the Voice option for one of them.
Our family had an Adam computer, so we had Colecovision games, and they were amazing at the time.
The first video game console I ever bought for myself: Sega Genesis
Last one I bought, PS3.
Still have my Panasonic 3DO and love it. Wish they had a bigger game library and also easier to find games for it. Need for Speed, Road Rash, and Slam N Jam 95 are still some of my favorite games. Twisted was a really fun game too, and there is nothing else out there like it.
Still have my Intellivision. One of the controllers needs to be rewired but it still powers up and loads the game. Best system of it's day. Spent hours with my best friend playing Major League Baseball. My mom even got hooked on Astrosmash.
1:03 As simple as It was, is Nice to see the brasilizian gaming market being mentioned in a WatchMojo vídeo :)
I bought a house with a cdi 220, controller, and games left in it and TH-cam brought me here. Never heard of it before.
It's a shame that consoles we now refer to as crap today. Was ridiculously expensive back then
Scalpers: Rookie numbers.
Awesome video like it
The Sega Saturn is such a bittersweet memory for me. As a young teen, I worked my ass off, sold my Genesis and Sega CD, along w/ some rare games, to buy a Saturn. Sega really fucked us over in North America. While the Japanese library was huge and varied, we got scraps over here. Then Bernie Stolar came aboard, said RPGs are worthless and the Saturn is dead. We didn't get a single Sega release for 18 months!
At the same time, some of the very few games we got were absolute gems. Dragon Force, Shining the Holy Ark, Panzer Dragoon 1/2/Saga. And then there's Shining Force 3; Sega decides to only give us scenario 1 of 3. That's it! And for Panzer Dragoon Saga, they only made something like 4k copies, so it was impossible to find. So many great memories, so many pissed off ones.
Incredibly realistic!!!, just look at that what dot fly over that beautiful bright green grass, so lifelike
The Neo Geo was like a unicorn to us as kids. We could only admire its greatness in gaming mags, because there was no way in the seven circles of hell any of our parents were going to buy it for us.
I never knew till about 2009 they even made a home console that was so expensive. And for those who still have the console and the games, a lot of them have really high value.
It was like having the equivalent of an RTX 4090, in 1990
I got a Neo Geo for Christmas as A Kid With Magician Lord along with Earthbound. God that was an amazing Christmas.
My cuz had one ☝🏾 and I remember we playing the Basketball game 🏀 and he did a 360 from half court smh 🤦🏽♂️
Its incredible how long there have been at home game consoles! Pretty cool
When i thinking on video games i asking myself who is the best video game villain?
Dr.eggman
Bowser
Or
Ganondorf?
I’m one of the few that actually bought a Sega Saturn but I absolutely loved mine
My grandparents had the Intellevision console. I'm not sure what prompted them to buy it because all of the grandchildren who were old enough to play lived out of town. It was pretty cool for its time.
I’m so glad I can find the vids on stupid Snapchat on TH-cam without every 10 seconds ads
Damn... now I understand why my dad would never listen to me begging to get the system when it came out LOL
me: * just finished "Most Expensive Video Game Consoles EVER"*
Mojo: wanna watch "Most Expensive Video Game Consoles of all time"
mojo... come on mojo
I love your videos
I just noticed today after years that the MoJo Logo looks like a bald lil man with homer Simpson's iconic M hair lol
Nice video
I still have the Magnavox Odyssey 2.
Got it for Christmas 1981.
I am so happy I got to play Neo Geo games at the arcade and pizza hut for just a quarter.
mk and sf is for pretendo fans. mk and sf is cheap on ps2.
You mean to tell me that EA made the 3DO? Somehow that makes total sense.
The CD-i version you priced was the edition schools purchased for learning.
Channel F forever, RIP Jerry Lawson
Cool designs.
Those NeoGeo cart were HELLA expensive as well, youd drop $600 on the system, and another $200 PER game... BUT... You got a direct Arcade version of the game instead of a port, so it was kind of worth it...
Best Watchmojo in ages 👍
Lmao
I had the Atari 5200. It was big n bulky but part of it was because you lifted the top and stored the controllers in it. One of the only game I liked was Dig Dug.
Success or failure, costly or cheap, every consoles from last decades had wacky commercials with otherworldly feeling to it.
Wow crazy numbers being thrown out
I'm quite surprised the Pioneer Laseractive didn't show up here. I was sure it would be at least top 3!
Since this was 2 years ago. Here's a readjustment of those prices.
$748.39
$740.78
$818.83
$844.52
$898.3w
$965.86
$1065.49
$1417.91
$1455.44
$2239.14
I like how these commercials say "the most powerful console in the world/to exist/in the universe"
Because most console commercials today don't boast about the console performance.
I feel sooo old lol... and I love it
I bought my 60gb PS3 in April 2007 for that $600 price and it was worth it, soo many hours of gaming I put in it and it played my old PS1 and PS2 games, it's packed away but it still works!
I can say this with a lot of assurance I can go to any specialty retro gaming shop and have these systems for a lot less only a Hardcore Dealership would be crazy to sell these systems with those inflated prices!
One of my friends had a 3DO and the only games we played were Need For Speed and Ridge Racer.
I think it also had the only port of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo at the time as well.
I think you mean road rash there bud.
Quick Mention: Pioneer Corps' Laser Active: Original Price $970. (INFLATION: OVER $1850)
I own all the consoles mentioned here and also, WatchMojo missed a VERY important and highly advanced (for its time) console and that is the Bally Astrocade.
For $300 USD you had a console with a few built in games, you had a large library of Bally Titles like Wizard of Wor, Galactic Invasion, and you could even program the console via the Bally Basic Cartridge and built in keyboard. The Basic cart also has a cassette jack to allow you to store your programs. And this was in 1978!!!
It was not a huge success, due to Bally giving it up and when Astrocade Inc rereleased it, it was pretty much mail order. Sad as this console enjoys a great groups of enthusiasts and could have been so much more (A full computer add on was announced years before Mattel made the ECS). It's an amazing system.
7:16 incredibly realistic!
Actaully Neo-Geo was very VERY popular here in Asia, at least its 'arcade variant', or whatever it's called.
I remember there being one that was WAY more expensive than the CDI but it was also more obscure. I swear it had a light gun with it but I cant remember exactly what it was.
No wonder so many people used tons of drugs in the 1970’s... everything sucked!
Yup
the cocaine was good
I remember buying my Panasonic 3-DO off my mates brother for £50 I had to pay him £5 a week from my paper round money for about 2-3 months. I had a DOOM like game the main character had a jetpack and chainsaw, A Sci Fi Flight Sim where you flew around blowing structures up and a pirate ship demo, I haven't a clue what any of them were called but all were a blast.
What about the Pioneer Laseractive?
Neo Geo kid, is that dude from Greenday?
11:44 Huh, never thought that Link would jumpscare me. Also, that absolutely disgusting art is going to give me nightmares.
Play Station 5: Hold my 🍻
let's hope not from why I heard the Xbox series x will cost like around $500 in the digital edition will cost like around $300
Are you sure it is not the old Neo Geo ?
I understand most people's gripe with the PS3 especially with Sony's complacent attitude after the success of the ps2(thank God they came back down to earth with the PS4 though some of the ps5 tactics have me feeling that they're becoming complacent again) but I never felt the PS3 was too much...maybe it's because no one knew if Blu Ray would win but to me it was pretty obvious that it would and at the time a Blu Ray player was just as much and more than a PS3 ...along with it being able to play ps2 and ps1 games and having HDMI and a much larger HDD than the 400 360 I think the PS3 price wasn't bad..it wasn't good but it wasn't bad either just look at pretty much all these consoles and suddenly the PS3 doesn't look so bad
Got a 2600 for Christmas in 78 and it took 3 months to fry the adapter ( $20 in 79 idk in today’s money)
Can't believe my poor old Dad spent 300 bucks (not including over a dozen game cartridges) on that damn Intellivision back in 1982. My brother and I destroyed it less than 3 years later.
Oh man...
OK- you show the very first console I ever owned and I'll be there every time...
The Atari 5200 had some good games but that controller! The controller was a disaster.
You should do top 10 movie intermissions. The one from HELP! Being number 1.
Yes we got it the other 50 times you recommended it, lol
@@WatchMojo Finally! The Overlords have noticed my feeble efforts!
I still have my Panasonic 3D0. Still work's great.
Which is why growing up we only had the NES and Super. Don't judge, I am (only) 26 lol Mario Bros, Zelda 1&2, Mermaid Bubbles, Tetris, Monopoly for my mom and Carmen Santiago for my sister. No complaints
I was pretty sure my beloved aes would be in there somewhere, even today a cib aes easily fetch 700+ euro.
But, when the PS3 came out, it had Blu-Ray. The only other player cost $1.000. It was with it to get a PS3 just for the Blu-Ray.
Can you do top 10 characters who might possibly make their MCU debut in the Eternals movie?
Can you make a video of top ten RC car's..., at low price with best performance & quality
I love my Atari 2600. So many really basic games, so much fun. Now I have the most incredible game console, the PC. No more buying carts, cassettes or discs. Thousands of games from Microsoft and Steam, no need to buy a new console every few years, capable of leaping tall building, hacking Chinese military sites, stream movies, cook dinner an so much more.
Videogame consoles have come a long way since then
We had a Magnavox Odyssey 2 growing up and were known as the kids who parents bought them an Odyssey instead of an Atari.
The VO has the be Brian Tyler Cohen, right?
Happy 25th anniversary PlayStation 👑🎮💙
You should've gone both a today price video and launch price video
No mention of the JVC X eye? That was a very high end Genesis and Sega CD all in one. I'm sure that was expensive back in the day. Also the Sega CDX. Anyone actually remember their original prices?
Wow, things are twice as expensive as they used to be.
The dollar isn’t worth shit
The intellivision was awesome! Should have smoked the Atart
Where is the LaserActive that was also pretty expensive
The commercials back in the late 70's early 80's seemed to be targeting middle aged guy's in suits!?
