Exchanging pocket change for revolutionary video game systems is a concept usually only dreamed about, but in Japan, it's currently a reality. Likely to clear up shelf space due to an over abundance of trade-ins, one Japanese store is selling used Nintendo Wii, DS, and Sony PlayStation 2 consoles for an amount of money that can likely be found under a couch cushion. Images provided by Japanese Twitter user @SQ47t4VEMMWLWpl reveal that a DS can be purchased for 100 yen (93 cents USD), a Wii for just 50 yen (46 cents USD), and a PS2 for 200 yen ($1.86 USD). That's outrageously low for what could easily turn into thousands of hours of fun!
