Dead PS2s find a new home in your hand

Many 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.

    This Chinese company would make more pens if they used broken Xbox 360s instead.

    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.

    @ 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.
