Quantcast



With the PSPGo on the store shelves looking all small and sexy with its entirely downloadable library and slide screen action, the older PSP models must feel a bit dodgy at the moment. While the PSPGo might not be selling that  much better then the PSP, the bulkier of the two must be having some body issues here and there. Enter modder foo foo, who has brought the PSP's sexy back like some sort of modding Justin Timberlake.

He some how squeezed a VU Meter into the back of the PSP. While almost completely useless as a functional item, it sure as hell looks bad ass. Check out the video above where foo foo chooses the perfect song to demonstrate how awesome flashing lights can actually be when shoved into a PSP and choreographed to music.

I think you mean PSPGo not PSP Slim. My PSP Slim doesn't slide at all, and all my game are on UMD's. Y'know?

Besides, I like the look and feel of the 3000 much more than the Go. Especially the Carnival colors from Japan. My carney yellow practically blinds people in the light with it's shinyness.

@Corey Buchillon

Excuse me for pointing out a mistake so he could fix it.

How about you shut up if it's not such a big deal to you?

lol @ overreaction.

In their defense, it IS a gaming blog.

In Matt's defense, he could have just woken up...or he could be drunk. Both are good excuses.

Love the bit at the beginning where you can see the camera strapped to his face.

Yeah better correct that soonish...





Else people will talk! *mock gasp*

But seriously, not a huge deal - a mistake was made, I'm sure it will be rectified. Nothing to see here.

Cause the battery life of the PSP wasn't short enough?

Of course it's pointless, it doesn't have any use other than it's cool.

Bye bye already useless battery life... even with aftermarket batteries.

Thanks RenegadePanda (and everyone else). The funny thing is I was actually thinking PS3 Slim when I typed that up and not PSP Slim because I was writing something on the PS3 Slim at the same time.

OK, maybe that wasn't that funny, but that's the excuse.

Perfectly valid excuse in my book. Case closed.

Also in honour of electrikmayhem I am now going to say rectumfied instead of rectified from now on.

That mod is like "LOOK AT ME! PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO SWIPE ME OFF MY OWNER'S ARMS WHEN HE'S NOT LOOKING". ish.

Hey, at least it looked cool right before the moment someone steals it.

"the older PSP models must feel a bit dodgy at the moment. "

My PSP-1001 is actually feeling pretty awesome, playing UMD's, MAME, NES/SNES/GENESIS/PSX for free. Thanks, though.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
