Supporting Children with Disabilities
The Sony Foundation New Zealand’s Holiday Camp Program provides three days and two nights of supervised care for children with disabilities at no cost to their families or carers. The program aims to provide respite for families whereas offering children a chance to socialize with peers and combat feelings of isolation. High school and university students serve as carers during the camps, gaining valuable experience and providing full-time support.
Auction Details
The online auction is being hosted on the Galabid platform. Bidding opened at 9:00 am NZDT on Monday, March 2, 2026, and is scheduled to close at 5:00 pm NZDT on Monday, March 16, 2026. The auction utilizes an automatic extension feature, continuing until no further bids are placed for a continuous 90-second period. The highest bidder at the end of this period will win the auction.
Galabid will automatically notify the winning bidder with payment instructions, and the Sony Foundation will then coordinate delivery within New Zealand. A card processing fee of $0.30 plus 1.75% of the final bid will apply to credit card payments to cover processing charges.
Collector Appeal and Charitable Context
The limited-edition console’s design incorporates a legacy color scheme and design elements reminiscent of the original PlayStation. The scarcity of only 12,300 units worldwide significantly enhances its appeal. The auction format, combined with the charitable cause, provides a unique purchasing experience compared to secondary marketplaces.
