I'm not a very observant kinda guy. So when, many months ago i purchased a PS2, the first thing i did was to plug it in and play a game. So what? i hear you cry! Well many happy gaming weeks later i decided to actually look at the thing.
'ITS BLACK' i realised, 'and that funny blue and purple squiggle actully says PS2 and isn't just for decoration.' But that's beside the point.
I came upon a strange trapdoor consealed at the rear of the device. Inscribed apon the door the words 'EXPANSION BAY' was the entire set of an american sitcom consealed within my humble console?
NO, and when I finally managed to prise open this 'chamber of secrets' what did i discover?......
ABSOLOUTLY NOTHING!!
I carefully exammined the cavity, and after much deliberation, I decided that..... there was a bloody big hole in the back of my Playstation 2.
But why? why indeed was there a seemingly pointless space in my PS2? It's like when you open a bag of crisps, only to find out that half the packet is filled with air and there's about 4 crisps at the bottom of the packet!! I felt conned!
So my mind started to wander as to the possible uses for this 'GAP', and so here are some of my ideas:
>You could keep a sandwich in there, its even cooled by a fan! what more could you ask for?
>The front is covered by a grill, and so could be handy for keeping a pet hamster or other small mammal in! sadly, my pet moose Alfred would not fit in.
>If you have any rude videos or magazines, it could be a handy place to hide them!
>After a long, long spell on your PS2, it would be very hot and could be used as a kind of toaster for toasting crumpets etc.
>You could dissasemble an X-Box, and a Gamecube and put the bits that look good in the hole in your PS2. This could combine all 3 perhaps?
Well I dont Know, was a key part of my PS2 missing that I was unaware of?
Please post your ideas for uses for the 'Bloody big hole'
* Slave realises it's too late for a practical joke and sulks away *
Its was probably an expansion slot like on the bottom of the n64 or maybe its something that they canned right at the last min and couldn't be bothered to take the thing off.
OR its something to do with the PS3, maybe it slots in there as a holder or something silly.
You could just put like rubbish in there, or pencil sharpenings :o)
