PSP modded for internal camera, speakers

While many of the PSP mods we've seen have been of questionable utility, at best, this latest creation from Acid Mods member Rex and his R&D team looks to be considerably more practical, although it's far from a simple hack. Not only did Rex add some presumably improved speakers, but he managed to squeeze in an internal camera that, judging from the video after the break, appears to work remarkably well. Unfortunately, that came at the expense of the PSP's UMD slot, although Rex says he's now working on a PSP slim version that'll keep the UMD in place. While there's no tutorial for building your own just yet, that is apparently coming "soon."

You need to check your keyboard.

[strider_mt2k @ Oct 17th 2007 6:48AM]

It's done a pretty good job at turning consumers into sheep.

Someone please get this guy off the stage. Preferably with a hard cane. He is driving lowercase letters to suicide.

[Dan @ Oct 23rd 2007 8:22PM]

Yeah, get you laid. Try that with a PSP, loser.

If only I had the balls to modify expensive gadgets....

[Shawin @ Oct 17th 2007 6:46AM]

you don't?

[Deluxe @ Oct 17th 2007 6:42AM]

I can barely stand to take them out of their original packaging...

[newlegend852004 @ Oct 17th 2007 6:21PM]

@Deluxe, Word.

[Shawin @ Oct 17th 2007 6:46AM]

[Pablo @ Oct 17th 2007 2:53PM]

No, they neither watch nor listen to customer . . . ever!

[strider_mt2k @ Oct 17th 2007 6:49AM]

No one will mis the UMD, believe me.

[Pablo @ Oct 17th 2007 2:51PM]

UMD? Ultra Misdesigned Device? or Ultra Money-eating Device?

[DAZA @ Oct 17th 2007 7:15AM]

Looks like the PSP camera was better quality than the camera shooting the demonstration.

[Adam @ Oct 17th 2007 10:52AM]

Yes,
Did you notice the resolution/clarity of the screen on the PSP was much higher quality than the overall movie was?

/sarcasm off

[Jack @ Oct 17th 2007 7:48AM]

while that is pretty cool, I have to say it isn't that useful due to lack of umd, the slim one sounds interesting though

"I am the PSPnator T-21! I have come from the future where PSPs have developed sentience and have all but destroyed humanity! Rex and his R&D team - you are humanity's last hope! The evil forces of Sky-Sony have already sent an assassin of their own - the PSP-2000! I must protect you!"

[holycow @ Oct 17th 2007 11:15AM]

thats what the PSP2 should look like (or have the built-in camera)!

[optV @ Oct 17th 2007 11:58AM]

Is it just me or does anyone else HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that song! My god, with lines like "you can be my black Kate Moss" this guy must be shaking em off with a stick. Instant mute, good mod but the cam seems a bit big.

[Thomas @ Oct 17th 2007 1:31PM]

Some people just can't comprehend his genius.

[3rdsun @ Oct 17th 2007 5:40PM]

That song is to make weaklings like you stronger

[Final @ Oct 17th 2007 12:24PM]

You guys realize the big thing in the middle is the speaker right? The camera is the exact same one as the Chotto shot embedded next to the speaker by the red light.

[Alexander @ Oct 17th 2007 1:27PM]

i wanna buy one from him for a low prce ;)

[Jerome Garrido @ Oct 18th 2007 12:18AM]

instead of a camera and speakers,he should also consider putting more juice(battery pack perhaps)

[Nick @ Oct 18th 2007 10:21AM]

That PSP looks so sick.

[drfoxx @ Oct 20th 2007 9:51PM]

You really should warn people about swearing in this video. Not cool to have fúck and sh!t blaring out of your office speakers. Idiots.

[Dan @ Oct 23rd 2007 8:21PM]

Yeah, get you laid. Try that with a PSP loser.
