Might almost be better to import the PSP's innards into a portable DVD player for a bigger screen while keeping its portability intact.

You sacrifice comfort for portability, can't have it all!]]>May 30th 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/
I think this would put the PSP to good use. Mine is a paperweight now.

Also, the PSPs lack of a 2nd analog is crippling... Until it is OEM with 2 sticks... well... I guess I'll just deal with it until then.]]>May 30th 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 31st 2008 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/weird..

Second: It's a portable... no-one's carrying a control pad around.

Seriously, has everyone just been smacking planks of wood against their head the past few weeks?]]>May 30th 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/they dont include a controller port for many reasons----

1- it defeats the purpose of the portable aspect of this console
2- it would take away battery life which is by all means not world class
(especieally on the PSP-2000)
3- if you are going to use the psp as a sit down game console(which is what would need to happen if there was a controller), just get even a PS2. It has more games, better games, and better graphics

as you can see, that is why they dont add a controller ports. that doesnt include the price aspect, either]]>May 30th 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/
it's not like people just play the psp on buses, trains, fat people, or other places outside of the home. some actually do play them in house. ]]>May 30th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/2) Battery life is a fair point. Although, if you're not "portable", can't you just plug in the transformer? Still, that's a user choice if it's not an always on feature.
3) With the video out, it could be a portable and play-at-home device. There's likely a huge market for that (I'd buy one if I could play it in "console" mode. I wouldn't spend PS3 money, but I'd drop a little more than current PSP money for it. That huge market still leaves room for a huge "don't care for it" non-market, too. Obviously.

It's the price, mostly - if they ever even thought of it. Certainly, portables are portable only so far. It's entirely likely that the idea never crossed the design desk as a consideration, not even to be dismissed.]]>May 30th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/

2. battery life does suck I will agree with that one
3. what if people only have a psp and not a ps2, your advice would be for psp owners to go out and buy another console and games? This doesn't really make sense.]]>May 30th 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/May 30th 2008 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/30/psp-hacked-for-use-with-dualshock-controller/Engadget should thank him for supplying a picture so apt.
