You’re not going to believe what might be lurking inside of your PS3. I’ve been wondering why it hasn’t been running right. As it turns out, the PS3 makes an excellent bed for a pet rodent (and probably premature babies as well). Though we highly recommend you take out all of the innards first. Hit the jump to see why.

While it appears the family of this Xbox 360 didn’t have the money to afford a coffin for their console, they at least took the time to invite the Xbox’s friends and family to pay their last respects.

While it doesn’t seem like the blinged-out Xbox will ever go up for sale, I think Microsoft should auction this baby off for charity or ...

While GameCube was never my favorite console (I don’t recall ever playing on it much to be honest), I’m always happy to see a portable port of a gaming console that was simply not-so-portable in its original state. The Flip-Top GameCube design by Mike Szczys allows gamers to bring the game wherever they may roam, including under my neighbor’s bed… ...
