Ben Heckendorn's 7-year anniversary VCSp portAtari

Seven years after the inimitable Ben Heckendorn's original VCSp, we're presented with the latest iteration in his portable console's lineage. The new VCSp is apparently Ben's most finely crafted portable Atari system to date, even featuring the skillful placement of cartridge-as-screen-shade and the fine white plastic frame roughly the size of a chunky Game Boy Advance. The best part: if you ask nicely (can hack up some cash) Ben might even consider making one for you. Just tell 'im Engadget sent ya.

That's the best use of a geek's time I've seen in quite a while.

Could he not have made it a top or bottom load?

Didn't you read what it said? The cartridge placement acts as a sun shield (the shadow from it makes it easier to see the lcd)

No, didn't read it. I would still rather have a top or bottom load with a flip up sunshield.

Ben, you are the most talented craftsman I have never met!
