Alright, so picture this: you’re scrolling through the subreddit for PlayStation fans, right? And BAM! There it is—a mind-blowing LEGO version of the original PlayStation. I mean, who does that? This fan must’ve had some serious dedication or just a weekend with way too much time. Anyway, it looks just like the real deal, down to the guts inside. You know, the kind of detail that makes you wonder if these pieces could actually, you know, play games?
Sony’s first console is like a rockstar in the console world. It kicked off this gaming journey, and boom—over 100 million units sold. That’s a few million more than I have socks, for what it’s worth. It even stayed on top for decades, while people kept buying it like hotcakes—or warm hot cakes? Anyway, this LEGO tribute seems like the ultimate shout-out to a console legend.
About throwbacks, Sony loves ’em. The 2018 PlayStation Classic launch, yeah, people were hyped until they weren’t. It didn’t exactly beat NES or SNES, though classic games keep popping up on PS4 and PS5 like that friend who shows up unannounced but is always welcome. Meanwhile, this LEGO fan was busy crafting PlayStation history.
So, this Redditor—Robymuso90—drops their creation online. It’s not just a LEGO console. It’s got ports, memory cards, the works. You could almost believe it’s going to boot up next. They even made tiny LEGO discs! C’mon, those little details are where the magic’s at.
Everyone’s in awe, of course, asking, “Dude, how did you even build this?” And they’re all like, “Used official LEGO tools. Yeah, there’s actually software for designing these things!” Who knew? Then they’re nudging the community to back their idea on LEGO’s “Ideas” forum to turn this passion project into something anyone could build. I checked the link—not gonna lie, I clicked support. Couldn’t help myself.
This is happening while Sony’s having its own party. Thirty years since the PlayStation debuted in Japan. I wasn’t there, but I bet it was epic. Plus, the PlayStation Plus service is celebrating its 15th birthday now. Makes you wonder if we’re gonna see some huge shindig. Meanwhile, these LEGO bits tell a story. It’s like a tiny monument to gaming history that just so happens to be shaped like a console. Cool, right?
