No slim-line PS2 for the UK
Mortal Kombat: Kollection heading to PS2
130 titles coming to PlayStation 2 in 2008Many of you may not be ready to recycle your "working" PlayStation 2, but for those of you that have an old, broken, disc read error PS2, this might be your solution. Pictures have surfaced around the internet of a company in China that makes pens (yes, pens) out of old PS2s.
It is quite interesting that there is such an ample supply of dead or old PS2s that a company can make a legitimate business venture from them.
GamesRadar didn't reveal anymore about the company, but keep an eye on PSU for more information on this PS2 'peripheral' and where you can get them. Heck, we may even get some for the office.

Genius...I want one!
nice...i would buy one
this just goes to show how innovative and environmentally friendly sony can be lol :)
so... a highly succesfull last generation consol becomes a pen?
who comes up with those ideas? :S
I will get one just to remind me of good old times... (snifff) poor PS2...
ts from China? Watch out for the lead content
If the price is not too high, I would probably get one... nice "franchise"!
I can beat that, I use mine as a paperweight. If there's enough of a demand I'll start marketing my idea.
Or mabey they should use broken 360's,....
Sorry to say it.
Someone had to.
Use it to make new PS3's!!
That is sweet. My PS2 isn't dead yet but when it does I want it to be turned into pens.
I think i just threw my ps2 away like 2 months ago. Damn this news for not coming sooner
psn id: gingo... lol no i wont be turning my ps2 into a pen thank you very much
This Chinese company would make more pens if they used broken Xbox 360s instead.
Ard Master!
Perfect!
Just dont put it in youe mouth, Seems to me the stuff coming from China is pretty bad these days.
lol....Does anyone here really think they are making pens from recycled ps2s!? they are scrapping the internal parts for use and then just giving you pens. pens by the way that cost pennies and you are giving up perhaps close to 50-100 dollars in reusable computer hardware.
They could build HOMES with all the dead 36*s in the last year.
nice ps2 tribute i want one
Wow what a collecter's item. I def want one of those
@ ard master, Jared, and Alpha2: Yes, they could makes pens out of 360s, but who would want them? They'd probably just break in a few weeks anyway. And you have to keep sending in for replacements because your writing is pushing the pen to its limits. Ahahaha. And who wants just one? I'd buy a box of 1000, wait for a year, and sell them on eBay.
you guys dont have an office lol.
They can't be trusted that those pen are really from recycled PS2's. All those PS2's that they receive they probably fix many of them with just the 'disc read error' and re-sell them in 3rd world countries. The same happens with recycled mobile phones. When they say 'recycled' they mean they repair 2/3 of them and sell them on in Africa and that is coming from the horses mouth as they clearly said what they do on a TV report. The remaining mobiles gets crushed and recycled into plastics. Its a $100 million plus business for them.
