    Don't know much about it but it looks pretty nifty. It's PAL so it's not much use for me, plus I don't know why it'd have an AMD chip in it. Anyways, get it if you'll be happy!

    Reading is fundamental!

    "It was put together for the AMD team to play on during breaks."

    Obviously it was a console with a paint mod done that was in one of their break rooms for staff enjoyment.

    The first Athlons appeared in '99, and SFC games were still being made then. Nintendo was still making Super Famicoms up to 2003.

    Well the sticker says "Athlon XP" which is much later than '99, and this is a UK PAL Super Nintendo, not a Super Famicom

    IMO Bad Paint job + AMD sticker "for a laugh" being marketed as "WOW R@RE special edition one-off"

    This wont have been used by anyone at AMD.
