Manufacturer description
Console powers on and is in working playable condition. Disc tray opens when eject button is pressed but for some reason wants to open up all the way but then close on its on right after opening. You have to grab disc tray as it opens to get it to stop and stay open. Then once you load a disc it loads and plays as normal. Comes with 2 controllers and both have somewhat sticky/tacky feeling surface to the joysticks. Both controllers work completely with just some cosmetic blemishes as shown in listing photos. Console comes with a memory card and all cables along with owners manual.
