PSX DESR-5000 | NTSC-J Japan Sony PlayStation PS1 PS2.


This PSX is running the latest 1.31 firmware


This PSX has a working 160GB hard drive 


The DVD burner laser doesn't read DVD's or CD's which means the only way you can play disc based games is to use a FreeMcBoot memory card. This works by booting the system into PS2 mode so discs can be read by the PS2 laser. It's recommended to use a FMCB card with these units as it reduces wear on the hard drive. 


An Official Sony PS2 memory card with FreeMcboot installed will be included.


The CR2032 battery has been replaced with a new one


Laser heads have been cleaned and rails greased


Power supply caps have been checked and are fine


Hard drive doesn't make any unhealthy noises


This PSX has suffered a small amount of corrosion on the main metal frame & disc ejector frame. 
I have cleaned up what I can but the price is reduced due to this.

There is absolutely zero corrosion on any of the boards or workings of the machine and it is in fully working condition other than the common DVD laser issue.

I've taken pictures of the inside of the machine, If you wish to see them please message me.


One of the plastic hinges for the front cover has a tiny piece broken but still attached, this doesn't stop the cover from staying closed but it needs a little help closing.


You'll need a stepdown converter to use this item as it's designed for the 100v system in Japan, these converters are easily found online. Please contact me if you need a recommendation. 


Will be well packaged and sent via Royal Mail's Tracked 48


Please note that this listing is for the PSX DVR & FMCB card only, no cables or accessories are included.


If you have any questions regarding the item please feel free to message me.
