I had read that just prior to his death he was trying to raise funds by selling off a lot of his property including his kiosk collection which was said to have one of the few mint 3DO ones still in existence - the plug was pulled though after his death and they may become part of a Michael Museum now.

Back when the auction was still a go I was planning on attending and bidding on that Kiosk.
It was only about a 20 minute drive from where I live.

I would have hated you if you did. So, think of it as a good thing.

Micheal Jacksons 3DO display stand.

I guess he never played Virtual Cameraman with the same vigor as me ;)

I'm thinking when ol' MJ bought a "Virtual Boy" he was very disappointed. Much like the time he bought a Game Boy, not what he was expecting AT ALL.

It wasn't all bad for him though. The Virtual Boy sat on your face after all...
