Not bad, not bad. So do these have an official name then? I can't seem to find any pics or anything about them anywhere on the internet... I mean I know you just told me everything I wanted to know about it, but I'm just curious as to what it would actually be called. Thanks!

It's part of a Funcoland reusable unit. Not sure if they used these in Kmarts as well, but they were most certainly used in Funcolands. They didn't just use them for Playstation. They had single and triple units that you could load with whatever popular system you wanted to advertise. Almost every Funcoland in America has some around 1996 - their take over by EB in early 2000s.

Ah, very cool, thank you! :D

Any idea on what the value of something like this would be?

Isn't this a PS2 kiosk since it has Gran Turismo 3 displayed at the bottom?

I was confused by this as well, but after testing it out with an actual system, there's no doubt it's for the PS1
