PS5 user shows his 'dust-filled' gaming console and gamers are in absolute disbelief

Gaming consoles are a thing of beauty, compact with adequate processing power to play the latest titles. However, some owners don't seem particularly bothered about maintaining their console.

In a shocking video that has been doing the rounds on social media, the TikToker, who goes by the name 'rerockboys', proudly showcases his PS5 which is filled to the brim with dust and dirt.

The video left gamers in absolute disbelief that anyone would be willing to use a dust-covered gaming console. Many users suspected that the dust may have been planted for the sake of clout and attention.

In the video, it's clearly visible that the dust had even started to block the air vents, which are essential to ensure that the gaming console doesn't overheat. One Twitter user wrote:

While dust gathering on gaming consoles or computers is common, the TikTok user states that he's had the PS5 for only a little over two and half months, which left netizens scratching their heads and wondering how exactly did so much dust gather in such a short amount of time.

Despite several users pointing out that dust may have been put there on purpose, in a follow-up video from the user, he discloses that he smokes indoors which led to the rapid build-up of dust and dirt.

Irrespective of the truth, it's always a good idea to keep gaming consoles dust-free, as the build-up may lead to overheating and performance issues. While dust is definitely an issue when it comes to gaming hardware, one gamer was left baffled after he found out his girlfriend had painted over his Xbox for valentine's day.

Woman sparked outrage after she had painted her boyfriend's gaming console for valentine's day

A woman who goes by the name Hayley, on social media, wanted to do something special for her boyfriend on Valentine's day, but she ended up irking the internet when she decided to paint 'The Starry Night' on her boyfriend's Xbox unannounced to him.

Many applauded Hayley for putting in the effort, while others called it an act of vandalism. Suffice to say, the boyfriend was shocked upon receiving his now, one-of-a-kind, Xbox.

With gaming consoles, it's always a good idea to keep them away from dust and not tamper with the paint job, failure to do so may lead to performance issues or in the worst-case scenario; a null and void warranty.
