In another tale of lucky people finding valuable electronics in the trash, one gamer has stunned the PlayStation community on Reddit by sharing his incredible find. It’s a perfectly working PlayStation 5 console, rescued from none other than a ditch full of trash.
In a Reddit post, this player claims to have found this console at that location, adding that “I took it home, cleaned it, and plugged it in,” also leaving several photos of this PS5. To his amazement, the console worked perfectly since, despite the dirt and possible signs of deterioration, the console turned on without problems and was fully operational.

Theories about why someone would ditch a perfectly good PS5 were rife in the comments on the post. Some users speculate that they might have been the victim of a fit of rage, perhaps in the context of a heated argument. Others suggest that the console might have been stolen and then abandoned when the thief realized he couldn’t sell it. There’s also the possibility that the console suffered a minor technical issue that was resolved on its own, leading its former owner to believe that it was permanently damaged.
Among the responses, one player says: “A guy really got tired of playing Warzone,” to which others comment: “He’s probably banned from COD so he’s no good to them anymore” and that “A guy’s girlfriend really got tired of him playing Warzone. lol.” While others less surprised by the story say: “Yeah right” or “I’m always surprised how gullible people are online.”
The player says that, in the end, despite his enthusiasm for the find, he already owns a PS5 and doesn’t need another one. For this reason, he is considering selling the found console or exchanging it for a new mobile phone. And regardless of the veracity of the facts, this story makes it clear that sometimes, some people give different values to technological objects and they can be easily thrown away, even when they still work perfectly.

One lucky Nintendo gamer made a find that many would envy, as while strolling through a local market, he stumbled upon what turned out to be a true retro gem. Inside the bag he claims he found at a stall, carefully stored away, was a Game Boy Color in mint condition and a striking transparent purple color.

The story, shared by Reddit user “9dayoldmilk,” has captivated retro gaming lovers around the world. The user was so excited that he shared his experience saying, “I went to the local flea market this morning and found this unopened bag. I thought $10 was a good price but when I saw what was inside I almost fainted,” he wrote. In his post he also says, “It’s crazy since I sold my red version and my grape gameboy clear a while ago and kinda regretted it, then I found this out of nowhere.” “Unfortunately Desert Strike doesn’t work, but not all that bad about it,” he says.
