in japan, people put their trash on the street side, usually under a net, to prevent it of getting all tousled by the crows. but some kind of lazy person, who trashed his SFC this morning, just putted it in front of that net so it almost reached the middle of the street, where i was walking.

Is Japan aware of garbage cans?  :mrgreen:

Apparently they use a superior technology known as "nets."

I'm sure in another 5-10 years us primitives here in the US will also adopt this advanced garbage retention technique.

1. i don't know yet..first i had to smuggle it unnoticeable into the firm (under my jacket), to not appear like the last otaku on earth.
have to try it later. but if it doesn't, i will make it to do^^ but it is in a better shape as most of the stuff you can buy at recyle shops today.

2. in some mansion areas they uses containers, but in most part of residentials they using those "high tec nets" :D

It's Japan!  The person probably thought, "I'll just put my SFC here on the walk while I go in to have dinner at this nice sushi place, it wouldn't be proper to bring it in with me.  Nobody will bother it anyways."

They do not have trucks in Japan.  The place is far too small.

If it was in or near his garbage net, wouldn't that mean he was throwing it away? Though one has to wonder why anyone would throw away a pristine boxed console.

Maybe the dude was throwing it out because he sucked and was a sore loser, lol.

Or maybe he wanted to get rid of it and was hoping someone would pick it up.  That happens here in the states all the time.  Put something you're done with but is still usable out to the trash, but don't put it in the trash can and maybe put a "FREE" sign on it, and it's gone in no time.

I would keep it. You are obviously going to enjoy it more than whomever threw it out. Have a blast man and put your conscience, in this case, on ice.
