PSP2 Concept Is Totally Fugtastic






The PSP2, at first glance, has absurd analog stick placement, features a screen that juts out from the casing for now reason and looks tactilely synonymous with playing a stale loaf of bread. But as a mod that could play your PS One and PS2 discs on a flawless OLED screen and export hi def video out (along with Dolby), it's completely geektastic. Sure, the designer could have made a sleek device with touch controls, but this unit is sadly size realistic if you imagine what modders will be able to accomplish in a few years when slimmer Blu-ray drives come out (their spec sheet didn't mention Blu-ray, but as long as we're making stuff up, why not?).
For those who like to indulge in the imaginary, here's the entire spec list:


Play Native PSP,PSP2, and PS2 DVD-ROM Games
OLED High-Def Screen 480x233 480p-720p
16gb SSD
2 Real Analog Pads
Dualshock 4 and Sixaxis 2
HDTV out up to 720p
MP4,Divx,Mp3......
Dolby Digital Optical out
L&R1 + L&R2 (back gun triggers)
GPS,Videoconferencing, and cellphone
Webcam 2 Megapixels
Sony Extra Life Battery 6-8 Hours
Memory Pro Duo up to 32gb


How about we just take the old body, 32GB SSD and OLED screen and call it a day? Oh, and to any other PSP2 designers, this model is still my reigning champion. Can you dethrone it? Shoot me an email on the side of the page with your renders.
