Gee Dad, just what I always wanted..I think! :huh:

Broke Dad Makes Son PlayStation 2 For Christmas

DAYTON, OH–Determined to make his son's Christmas dreams come true despite financial woes, David McManus spent three hours in his garage Monday constructing a PlayStation 2 from scrap lumber and transistor-radio components. "I can't wait to see the look on Andy's face when he unwraps this," said McManus, lovingly painting a "2" onto the front of the handmade video-game console. "I didn't get to sand the controllers as smoothly as I'd have liked, but still." McManus added that he hopes he can make a "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2" CD in time for Andy's birthday in March.

I wonder what it l00ks like...

Very sweet of the father for doing this!

That's The Onion for you. ;-)

that's nice of the Dad to do that.
It CAN be done. I read about a kid who made an atom smasher with $12 worth of components from Radio Shack.

You guys do know that The Onion is a satirical newspaper, yes?

Well, I do NOW.......

I've never read the "Onion." Too busy reading National Enquirer and stuff about Bat Boy, a 700 lb midget, and World War II bombers found on Mars. Now, that's REAL news.

PS. I still say that a person could make their own PlayStation. I bet EDISON could do it.

Wow, gullible people. You don't even know what The Onion is? For shame...

Uhmm okay, I thought everyone knew about the Onion. Guess not.

Still a good laugh.

You mean it ain't true.? :( AAAAwwwwwwww, I am devastated...absolutely devastated I say. I WANTED it to be true.
