Grandma bought the building? Fact.

OP is a guy? Fact.

OP is connected to the story by way of a Japanese girlfriend? That's the only part of the story which doesn't seem realistic, so we'll put that one down as "alleged".

Oh wow.

Gizmodo's source is Geek.com. Geek's source is RetroCollect. RetroCollect's source is finally the OP's thread.

I might've even had something to do with it. A few weeks back I tweeted a link to an Australian retro gaming Twitter account/site. May have followed on from there maybe.

Pfft, and they were going to just throw it out. ;P

It would have cost quite a chunk of change to throw that out in Japan so someone bring allowed to just take the whole thing isn't even that outlandish. Grandma probably expected OP to end up paying the disposal fees himself.
