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!

    It sounds like these are modchipped if they come with a USB stick of games (that the owner then burns as they wish?)
