what are these playstation controllers for?

Cool find. I've never seen those controllers before. I have seen similar controllers for N64 and SNES hotel games, however there was never an actual console in each room. This had me thinking that I was done over a network with a roms server. Anyone know for sure how this works? Do they connect to a "Hotel" PSX or do they connect directly to the wall/cable port?
Anyone got pictures of a hotel system, if this is what is used?

someone posted this at digipress...
"Yeah they worked with tv's (samsung i think) that had a Built-In system for purchase the use of a game for 6.99 an hour. Had one of those in Utah."

I wouldn't expect much for them, unless you have the hotel unit it's pretty much useless. You could probably buy them all and convert them to neo geo pads
Now if you got your hands on a hotel system....
They are highly collectable. People like to get them because so few are made.
cheers,

Superpotato is a popular used game shop in tokyo.
7$ an hour is not THAT expensive, I guess...
One good use that would be nice if possible for those controllers and hote unit is to make 2 players game between 2 people not in the same room. It would be nice to be able to play against another customer in the same hotel aat fighting games, I guess.

I know, but you don't need to bring the console or even own it. Possibly a week stay in the hotel is more expensive than a new bed, too. Of course playing for 4 hours is a bit ridiculous anyway. All those pay-per-time services in a hotel are always very expensive, so it's no surprise, what I meant is that I actually expected it to be more expensive.
Meh, I always bring some handheld to hotels :chimp:
