An enterprising individual has figured out what to do with his damaged PSP. Make an omelet with it and put it up on Yahoo Auctions. The seller points out that the omelette was made with seaweed, and there is a "faint sweetness" to the dish because a dash of sugar was used. The seller adds:
Please know that it was the work of an amateur, but was made with heartfelt sincerity.
Continuing, the seller mentions how happy a child would be to find this in his or her lunch box, and that it should be okay to eat because it was made without the memory stick or the battery. Bids started at 2,000 yen (US $17), and approx. 30 bids later, the PSP omelet went for over 8,000 yen ($67) earlier today. The winner shall be sent this this delicious portable in an ice pack, along with presumably the box, memory stick and battery.
