Best Playstation Portable Mod ever....

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Best Playstation Portable Mod ever....

My PSP became a tool to bash Chav's with yesterday:



*Cry*

Poor Cygnus. :(

oh dear, how did that happen?

Thats a cracking mod you've got there.

The plastic cover didn't protect the screen?

Speaking of which...need to open mine up to clean off a piece of dust inside that's been bugging me...best yet, there's the warrenty sticker right over the screw you unscrew to take the cover off....

Reminds me why I like my DS, clam-shell design works very well for protecting the screen, already got a few nicks on the outside itself, but then again I bring it everywhere, is to be expected.

Heh, my DS was in the same place as the PSP. it didn't break.

Nope, the screen wasn't protected by the plastic cover :P

Thats a cracking mod you've got there.


:P

Grey, The only thing I can think of was that when I placed it in my bag, i must have sat on the bag :(

Thats clever :)

i'll take it if you don't want it...

I do want it. Some fool's selling a screen for £15... :-)

[edit]
and some other fool's thinking a £15 screen will work....

Just watch yourself next time, that's all I can tell you, that's $200+ USD right down the drain right there ($250 for the full bundle, $200 for the core system).

$200? right, I'm getting it from the US.

£179 i paid for it, that means i could get it for £114.33? Right, yo guys over there get all the good shit!

I paid £179 for mine, didnt need the gigapack since my GF got me a mega-phone for Xmas with a 512mb sony shitstick pro in it, and i thought *that* was a bargain. *grrrrr*.

Looks like you've broken the swear filter, as well as your PSP, Cygnus. :P

OH no... now they know!

To the bomb shelters!!!




Too bad, Cygnus.
Worst part of the thing to break, too. I bet everything else works except that cheap little LCD screen.

It's incredible how many pictures of broken PSP screens I've seen, though... Who knows what they were thinking :/
The pictures (or broken PSPs themselves) could make a rather trendy bumper sticker, though.

your complaining about that tiny scratch? Just buff it out. :)

*sob* RIP poor PSP.

Hope the new screen works for you.

Pffbbt, I can see where this thread's going in a hurry...

Anyhoo, my personal recommendation would be to go with a steel casing for a PSP (if there are any steel cases made, just like they do for Pocket PCs). This way, if you do get that screen repaired (unless it's beyond repair, then I dunno what to say), that would be a great investment to protect your investment of the PSP. I'll see what Amazon has to help you out...

Looks like there's only one available of this aluminum one, but it seems like it may be worth trying to buy. At least aluminum should easily protect that screen the second time around.

Wow. That looks totally real.

I seem to be breaking everything these days!!!!

Ah well, look on the bright side, you might find some time to do coding now. :)

I hardly used it anyway, otherwise i'd be *way* more peed off. :P I hadn't used it for about 2 weeks when i pulled it out of my bag.

Thanks 8IronBob, i'll grab that!

Yeah, it would seem clamshell is the best design for a portable gaming device. Having a permanantly exposed screen is just asking for trouble, IMO. Talking of clamshell, the new iPod-ized Nintendo DS looks nice - it's got better quality screens and is smaller than the original, I think.
