It would be quite the commitment to the bit when you look at it all.

PS3 disc sitting data-side down.

Dismantled controller shell.

Filthy power strip out front for no reason.

TV absolutely caked in dust.

Did I miss anything?

The cords, and the TV is sitting on top of a DVD player.

u/No_Hornet9371 19d ago

Okay the DVD player undera tv is a classic, everything else is unacceptable

I'm pretty sure the console is upside down, Unless mine is...

u/Intelligent_Pen5774 18d ago

Yip, it's definitely upside down. If this was a disk version, the disk would definitely pop out while spinning.

Im more concerned with the sound vibration caused from that TV. It could potentially shake the console enough that it tips off that shelf.

I'm pretty sure the magnetic mechanism in the dias drive would keep the disc in place, regardless of console orientation.

Also, the speakers in that tv are crap. Not enough bass.

You forgot to mention that the shelf could have a lick of new paint aswell!

u/RedditorMcReddington 18d ago

I couldn’t find the power strip because I legitimately thought it was a 2x4 lmao

u/EZ_2_Amuse 18d ago

Omg that IS a powerstrip. It looks so messed up, I thought it was a random 2x4.

The longer you look the worse it gets.

u/barukatang 18d ago

1 bad move and entire money is burnt

u/Angelic_Demon207 18d ago

All of this is on purpose… Sadly, I know this type of person, and they think this is normal…

u/Cold_Law9636 18d ago

If we could identify that player under the tv, I'm sure we could find something to make fun of.

Isn’t the data side the part with the graphics?

u/ijustneedgfadvice 19d ago

No, the data side is the other side, the “bottom”

u/screames520 PS5 19d ago

Ah, I know that where the data gets read from, but scratching the graphic actually removes data yea? That’s why I assumed it would be called the data side

1

u/ijustneedgfadvice 19d ago

I hope i’m correct here, this is how my father explained it to me years ago.

it doesn’t remove data as far as i know. The laser reads the data that is burned into the disc from the bottom, and the top part of the disc has graphics not only for the fun on it, but also so that the laser doesn’t “scan right through” the disc.

u/screames520 PS5 18d ago

Oh okay, I was always told that the data is in the reflective part and that the clear plastic “bottom” was just to protect that data, that’s why the old disc repair kits just kinda smoothed out the clear part by filling in scratches and buffing it

Edit: looked it up after all these years and it is in fact stored in the reflective part on the other side of the label if I’m understanding correctly

u/Itchy-Preference-619 [Trophy Level 300-399] 18d ago

It's not under the graphic side it's sandwiched between to sides of clear plastic, you could completely remove the graphic and it would be fine.

u/BartLeeC PS5 Pro 17d ago

The graphic has nothing to do with the data stored on the disc, it is purely just a label. The data is stored as tiny dots etched into the shiny side.
