What If Sony Hired Leonard Nimoy to Pitch the PlayStation 4—in 1981?

Hats off to IGN for making the past into a prologue with this PlayStation 4 hype video demake starring a pornstached Leonard Nimoy from 30 years ago. My God, I think the last time I heard that opening synthesizer anthem was in a Raycom highlight show before Maryland and Duke played in the 1984 ACC Tournament final.

The source of all this hilarity is this promotional video Spock did, in 1981, for something either called MagnaVision or DiscoVision. It had nothing to do with Sony, preoccupied at the time with Betamax; Magnavision was the video disc player produced by Magnavox (makers of the Odyssey console gaming series).

Take a bow, IGN. Very well done.
