Super rugged PS3 designed for use in Afghanistan
We'd want one if it didn't look so heavy...
Enter Ben Heckendorn, better known by his online handle Ben Heck, a renowned game modder. Known for taking out chunks of gaming consoles and putting them back in all sorts of contraptions, Heck received personal req🧔uests fr♛om two civilian pilots in Afghanistan. Erica and Kris Kokkeby wanted him to create a PS3 that could withstand the most dangerous of situations.
Heck lept atꦉ the opportunity. Hebuilt a PS3 completely encased 💛inside an iM2600 Pelican Storm Case, an extremely durable storage box that has received military-grade certification.
Heck featured the incredibly 🍌bulky PS3 on his online video series The Ben Heck Show.
"The Kokkebys, as well as our military servicemen and women, sacrifice so much for our country. The least I could do wasಞ build a portable video game console that allows them to enjoy gaming with their avid-gamer friends serving in the military, no matter where they are in the world," said Heck.
As for us, we'll stick t꧒o our nice, compact PS3 Slim systems. Although, if you really want a sturdy little gaming platf🧔orm, you could never go wrong with the original Game Boy. That thing was strong enough to live through. They just don't make game systems like they used to... that is, apparently, with the exception of Ben Heck.
