Gamer Finds Unopened Original PlayStation In Attic, A Long-Lost Gift From Late Grandad

Have you taken a peek in your attic recently? The only things in mine are some dusty old copies of Official Nintendo Magazine and a couple of massive spiders that my rampant arachnophobia helps me pretend aren't really up there. Scuttling. Just above my head. As I write these words. Let's move on, shall we?

There are some attic explorers out there who manage to hit the jackpot every now and then, such was the case with Reddit user ydntkme. While rummaging through their late grandad's attic, they came across an incredible prize: A boxed original PlayStation with DualShock controller, never opened.

It transpires this retro console was at one point a brand-new gift to be given to the Redditor from his late grandad. Unfortunately, his old age caused him to forget to ever hand over the present, and it ended up in the attic for all this time.

"My grandpa was a bit of a hoarder," ydntkme explained. "He would proactively buy things as future gifts and simply forget to give them in his old age. We found many unopened toys and gifts, this being one of them."

It's worth noting that the original PlayStation isn't usually worth more than £50 quid at the moment, but a number of Redditors believe the fact the box still has an intact seal could mean it's worth considerably more - or at least will be one day. ydntkme has said they'll be keeping it safe and unopened regardless of what it is or isn't worth, however. The fact ydntkme has uncovered a long-lost present from his grandad is quite clearly the most valuable thing of all.
