Here goes this week, starting off with a cool trash haul.
Someone decided to empty a rental unit ? into the dumpster at my work. When a coworker told me they saw a PlayStation box in the trash the investigation was on!
At first I thought all I would find was empty boxes(which was totally cool) but like an onion; as the layers seperated more cool stuff kept getting pulled out.. oh yeah a joycon strap was in the regular switch box.
What kind of monster opens their new console like this, for shame. Oh well. We didn't get a p5 yet but the box is definitely huge.
Bottom of the dumpster was a box for the Xbox series mini fridge, there were bags with Pokemon card paperwork and boxes, lots of household bathroom electronics and old canned/dry goods and other kitchen stuff, and whoever bagged em did a nice job keeping the gross stuff away from the game stuff.
Ripped open a garbage bag and found this ps3 slim missing most of it's screws, I figured it was not gonna work considering it looked like someone had been inside before but very dusty so I gave it a cursory cleaning and popped cables in. Booted up, this Blu ray was inside. If I were to guess it was overheating because of all the dust.. gonna open it proper and clean but I tried out a physical ps3 game, ps1 game and it actually had a few digital games installed including Minecraft haha all worked.
Cech-3001b maybe the last slim model before super slim? Heck yaaaa
The last of the trash goodies, digging this lil acrylic stand holding the pins. I also snagged a pair of beard scissors that disassembled via screw that I sanded, polished up a bit and sharpened.
Next up, thrift haul:
2.50$ a pop, DQ viii has the final fantasy demo booklet inside that my other copy was missing, sealed ddr2
Sealed fifa, mega man air freshener was p cool, Ubisoft rocksmith USB cable for $1, street fighter iv from the local.
That's it, til next week
Happy game huntin'!
