A brief history lesson: Before creating industry uber-brand, the PlayStation, Sony was working with Nintendo (of Wii fame) to create a SNES CD add-on. But that wasn't it! They were also working on a separate, Sony branded console that would play CDs and SNES cartridges. That console, like a mythical beast roaming the expanses of the digital world, had never been spotted ... until now. Like a lost Picasso finding its way to a humble garage sale, this early PlayStation pops up at game-rave.com (if you couldn't tell) and encourages us to think back at what could have been. Y'know, it could have been the PlayStation with the motion-sensitive controller. Oh, wait ...

There's no way to verify the veracity of game-rave's claim that "it's real," but they promise updates "very, very soon." Like now? How about now? Are there updates ... now?

The picture looks legit. But then again...it could just be game-rave.com trying to boost their traffic.

A Link To The Past on Super Nintendo?

Why was that Zelda crappy? If Nintendo pretended it wasn't made then why was it re-released on the GameBoy Advance and on Virtual Console?

I've never heard of "any" of them, to me Zelda 3 is "A Link To The Past" on Super Nintendo.
