Welcome to the pilot episode of Shady Rarities — where the weirdest, rarest, and most unbelievable gaming collectibles finally get the spotlight.
Shady Jay is kicking things off with the rarest item in his entire collection: a Super Red Automotive PlayStation 2, a console so exclusive that only around 2,000 were ever made worldwide.
Released by Sony to celebrate selling 20 million PS2s, the Automotive Color Collection wasn’t designed to look like a game console at all. These systems were inspired by high-end European sports cars, featuring glossy, metallic paint jobs that looked more at home in a showroom than a living room.
This specific model — the Super Red PS2 — is part of a legendary lineup that included Star Blue, Snow White, Metallic Silver, Light Yellow, and Super Red. Each one shipped in extremely limited quantities, often bundled with matching controllers, vertical stands, and special packaging. Finding one complete today is almost unheard of.
Collectors consider these some of the most desirable PlayStation 2 variants ever made — especially because of their connection to automotive culture and racing icons like Gran Turismo.
This episode breaks down:
Why these consoles were made
How rare they actually are
What makes the Super Red version so special
And why collectors will pay insane prices for them today
If you love gaming history, rare hardware, or collectibles that feel too exclusive to exist, this series is for you.
🔥 This is Shady Rarities. And this is just the beginning.
