Finally, A Good Use For A Playstation 2

A couple of Canadians and a Kiwi thought it'd be a great idea to stash 3,400 ecstasy tablets in an old PS2 in order to trick the customs officers at Sydney Airport on their way in to the country.

Well, they seriously failed when customs spotted them at the airport and, instead of jumping them there, they tracked them all the way up to Surfers Paradise in Queensland, 850 kms away. Imagine thinking you'd gotten away with a scam like this after driving for 12 hours only to be busted when you made it to your destination.

If found guilty, they face a maximum penalty of $825,000 and/or life imprisonment. At least here in Australia we don't have the death penalty for possession of drugs (I'm looking at you Bali!).

Thanks for the news Kotaku.
