PSP Go disassembled in awesome stop motion video

Oh sure, we've seen Sony's UMD-hatin' PSP Go splayed before, but never like this. Call us crazy, but we're calling stop motion video the future of unboxings and tear downs. Seriously -- this is one wild two minute ride that you simply have to take. Peek the video after the break, won't you?

See more video at our hub!

that was sick nasty awesome!

[Sam of the Sun Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:26PM]

@laxic

One does concur!

[NAME Posted Jan 22nd 2010 10:12PM]

@laxic

See that Apple? removable battery with a =CONNECTOR= and not some stupid ass soldered wires...

F-U Apple..

F-U Monster cables...

[Phreakazoid Posted Jan 23rd 2010 4:37AM]

@laxic OMG geek pr0n!

[Phrank Posted Jan 23rd 2010 11:50AM]

@Phreakazoid "Geek pr0n" just sounds like a couple of scientists doing it up against a 100" reflector.

...which is the kind of porn I've been looking for my whole adult life!

I felt like I was watching a Peter Gabriel music video

[benameco Posted Jan 26th 2010 12:31AM]

@laxic A very impressive video, it kind of made me think about how fan-inspired vids are starting to attract the attention of gamers. Thinking about PS3's crashing to a Bravia TV is awesome as well. Video: http://cli.gs/ps3-crashes-hd-bravia-video

Some people have a lot of time on their hand.

[gargle Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:28PM]

@TruUnknowN and a LOT more on the other!!

[streetstealth Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:39PM]

@TruUnknowN

This isn't something TechRestore just did because they didn't have anything better to do. It's basically a really good ad for their repair services. If they can make a stop-motion video in which they completely dissect a PSPgo to its smallest pieces and put it back together again and it still works like new... they can probably also fix your stuff.

@streetstealth

I agree... but to play devil's advocate, we don't know that they put it back together. Run the video and reverse and it *looks* like you put it back together. Just sayin'. :-P

[StvDvs Posted Feb 26th 2010 4:44PM]

If you watch the video, it shows the tech actually putting it back together. Just sayin'.

[FNG Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:24PM]

How can this be?!?!? You guys didn't post the iPhone disassembly from the same guys?!?! Come on Murph. Engadget posting rule 1a clearly reads, Apple in title = fanboy fights that leads to clicks and $$$.

You're on probation.
Sorry man.

[Flaimdude Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:31PM]

@FNG Even though I'm an Apple fanboy, I have to admit this is pretty funny and true. XD

[zaffuto234 Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:25PM]

wow!

[Alexicov Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:28PM]

Autobots Roll out!

[d0mth0ma5 Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:32PM]

@Alexicov Your comment in conjunction with having literally just read this made me choke on my drink. http://www.textsfromlastnight.com/Text-Replies-9377.html

[Lucas Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:29PM]

I really enjoyed seeing this. The sound effects were excellent touches to a stop motion video, which already makes it fairly impressive

[Rohan Posted Jan 22nd 2010 11:20PM]

@Lucas I agree, and this makes it easy for any DIYers not satisfied by just viewing, they get a step-by step to go!

[edf Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:29PM]

Where's Gumby?

[Special Agent Steve Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:30PM]

Really cool. This is how all breakdowns should go.

[hogwash Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:35PM]

I came.

[Kyle Krcmaric Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:43PM]

@hogwash

...and I thought I was a geek.
No geek-asm for me. :(

[realar Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:40PM]

Where was the kill switch.

[3rdman Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:11PM]

@realar

They left out the second joystick for compatibility, then forgot they put the kill switch inside of it. :D

[RioRyan Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:43PM]

I'm surprised they posted the PSP Go instead of this

[grandmainger Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:47PM]

Stop motion FTW.

[JestaMcMerv Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:48PM]

So I saw a 2D Barcode at around 1:24, first person to figure out what it means gets 100 Internets.

[d0mth0ma5 Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:03PM]

@JestaMcMerv I can't claim any internets for myself but i'll help out the cause. The numbers above and below the barcode are
top LQ038T3LXQ1(i think, it's hard to see if its a 1)
bottom 01C05Q4883

[d0mth0ma5 Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:49PM]

I have got to save that video for when i'm drunk

[Raeglatem Posted Jan 22nd 2010 8:51PM]

Reminds me of taking my PS3 apart. lol

[dcoke Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:01PM]

that sort of choppy stop motion always reminds me of PEE WEE"S PLAYHOUSE, not saying it was bad it was very good.

[cdf74dc9 Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:01PM]

Cool vid and the PSP go finally drop to a $200 price. Now $hut up and buy one.

[axerlzx Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:13PM]

USE the force

[bigfatpanda Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:42PM]

damn

[Jehryan Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:55PM]

Dear Sony,

I have a design that I think is better that this hunk of crap. I will send it to you tonight.

Yours Truly,

SonyLoverboy16

[benr Posted Jan 22nd 2010 9:56PM]

That is awesome!

[blunk Posted Jan 22nd 2010 10:39PM]

They have same stop motion video for iPhone 3GS

[carg0 Posted Jan 22nd 2010 11:26PM]

this is as close as anyone's going to see a PSPgo because no one is buying them, lol...

[RenonX Posted Jan 23rd 2010 12:01AM]

Rather impressive.

[mtnDewFTW Posted Jan 23rd 2010 1:01AM]

Definitely the awesomest disassembly video I have ever seen

[cosmicinglewood Posted Jan 23rd 2010 1:12AM]

That was splifferific spectacular on the hardware snoop patrol.

[kenjiru Posted Jan 23rd 2010 7:27AM]

nice

[thefjk Posted Jan 23rd 2010 12:54PM]

I respect the effort it took to make the video, but nothing comes close to the Hackintosh Xbox Pro video... nothing!

[Invader Par Posted Jan 23rd 2010 1:50PM]

Umm, no. The disassembly and reassembly look completely different. The latter is zoomed out and hands are seen in action.

A simple rewind is not enough. But that's not to say they hadn't took zoomed out pictures with hands while disassembling and used that in reverse order!

[4runnin1285 Posted Jan 24th 2010 8:53AM]

I wish they would do a video on heart surgery in stop motion like that

[pcaceres95 Posted Feb 14th 2010 7:05PM]

That was so awesome!
