Attempted Drug Smugglers Hide Cocaine in a Playstation

Despite tightened international airline safety precautions, a pair Argentinians from Buenos Aires were recently taken into custody in an Italian airport for attempting to smuggle drugs.

The courier method: Sony Playstations.

There is little by way of official information on the incident, but authorities allegedly discovered 10 Kilograms of cocaine and hashish in five Sony consoles traveling with the duo.

No word on the generation of a Playstation console, but the illegal paraphernalia passed through airport security x-rays and the consoles were reportedly operational.

The two would have absconded with the drugs if drug-sniffing german shepard dogs hadn't caught them in-route.

It all begs the question, does that count as a breach of warranty for modifying a console?


Sorry for the brief hideous with the holiday season and a few occupational changes have prevented me from paying as much attention to VGF as of late - for that, I am sorry. Be on the lookout in the coming week for the VGF picks for the top ten games of the decade!
