A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles (lemmy.world)

So in Iran people take old PlayStation consoles, refurbish them and sell them as new stock. My favorite part of this is that they do so with this incredible custom box.

I kinda love this, and if I was there? I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

To be honest, retro gaming on the PS1 is a bit 50/50 for me. Early 3D gaming before my time can be rough. But I have such a soft spot for how beautiful the console is from a design and hardware standpoint. That boxy gray box is such beauty.

I'd probably play it more than the PS5 I ended up selling!

I know it is likely just the nostalgia, but the PS1 startup sounds really were the best.

I had a ps, but the GameCube jingle was always my favorite

Oh I agree! I loved that startup sound! Compared to the SNES I was used to it sounded sooo next gen!
