I just found a PS2 in the street!

Post by christo »

I was walking along this morning and I noticed there were a lot of houses leaving general household rubbish out in the street.

Among the pile of broken tricycles and baby gear I saw... a PS2!

It has no power cable or controllers or anything, so I don't know if it works yet, but I'm curious.

I guess I'll google how to open it up and maybe I'll clean it and power it up.

Wait.. you stole someone's PS2?

Mom was probably using scare tactics to get her kid to do his homework. She was probably confused as hell when she went back out to get it and it was gone. :lol:

:lol: !

I just found a PS3 in someone's house. Brand new. It was just laying there. Can you imagine? Anyway, it was a nice, sunny day, so I decided to do some jogging on my way back home and some people decided to tag along. One of them was the previous owner of this console and I think the other two were policemen. It was funny because they were jogging in their uniforms. lol. But I was way too good for them and couldn't wait for them to catch up anymore and so we parted. It was the best day ever.

I've always wanted to get an old PS2 again since mine is well... broken. Nice find, let's hope you can get it to work.
There's no place like ~/

:lol: That's happened to me on numerous occasions, silly police men, going for a run while they're on duty. ;)

Besides that though, nice find with the PS2, hopefully it works though.
