When a company designs and develops a piece of gadget hardware, they have to consider the greater good or majority consensus on what defines a “good” device. Because of that, hardware often ends up being rather bland and boring, lacking any real definition or character. That’s where we gadget gurus come in. We take these half baked gadgets and mod them into our own visions. Even though they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, the wild and creative forms these custom gadgets take is truly spectacular. Take for instance the ET/UFO edition PSP-3000.
As you can see from above (video inside), this PSP in particular has several mutli-colored lights blasting away from within. The modder, Val, certainly has one of the coolest PSP mods on hand. If you need mobile gaming and some make shift laser surgery, it’s definitely an intriguing design.

Even though Sony loves to play the deny game, and have been doing so concerning any rumors that had to do with any PSP replacement, have finally got nowhere to hide. Mere days before E3 is set to kick-off with Sony officially announcing the PSP-Go, pictures of Sony’s next iteration of the PSP have been leaked giving everyone the ability to take a nice long stare at the Go. Besides looking remarkably different than the PSP-3000 by way of a new slider/controller design, the Go features:
- 3.8″ Display (Resolution unknown at this time)
- 16GB flash internal memory
- Memory Stick Micro support
- Full Playstation Network Support as well as full integration with Playstation 3
- Bluetooth w/ support for phone tethering and BT headset support
If those specs are enough to make you drool over, you may be happy to know you’ll only have to wait a little longer as the Go is rumored to be released sometime this fall. Also, the PSP-Go is not actually a replacement for the PSP-3000 as they are going to be sold along side each other. If you have a PSP-3000, is the early leak of the PSP-Go enough to motivate you to part with your old love and move on to something new? If you don’t have any PSP at all, is the Go finally the unit you’ve been waiting for? Is the new slider design perfect for your fatter fingers? A few more eye candies and the chance to verbalize your deepest passions await you after the click.
While the world is full of bleeding edge technology such as PS3′s, PSP’s, Xbox 360′s, among others, we sometimes forget about the old school games that while now are petty compared to todays games, are still fun and enjoyable none the less. I know whenever I get the ‘ol Sega Genesis out of the closet it makes me feel 15 years younger instantly – just like a kid again. If you have been looking for a way to get back to that kid friendly carefree feeling, the Retro Mini NES Handheld is here to satisfy your lust. Featuring a 2.4″ screen with TV-out and a two small external speakers means you won’t have to squint that that bad or turn up your hearing aids that far. The full spec list is right inside.
