OMG at this amazing custom MGS4 PS3 system
Morpheon Mods has crafted an incredible MGS4-themed PS3 system that's not only completely blinged out, it's signed by Hideo Kojima himself. The quantity and scope of the modications applied are mind-boggling. "The entire PS3 and controller is a combination of Carbon Fiber and Midnight Black done in our own digital camouflage technique ... The final product is a uniform finish that reflects like a mirror.""It has been specially fitted with 15 white micro LEDs that back light not only the marquee but also the etching so the artwork is viewable in complete darkness." Best of all? You can actually buy this thing off eBay. Not only will you be getting the system, you'll also be getting an incredible grab-bag of rare MGS merchandise, such as a custom embroidered Otacon patch -- of which only 12 have been made in the world.Finally, 15% of the sale's proceeds will go to Penny Arcade's charity, Child's Play. If you decide to make a bid, good luck. This really does seem like the most amazing piece of MGS fandom money will ever be able to buy. Go see the listing to find even more pics of this incredible creation.
Fan shows his love of Rockstar through modded PSP
Someone really loves Rockstar. Ramon at Morpheon Mods has created a PSP that's ready for the upcoming multiplatform (PSP included) release of Midnight Club: Los Angeles. This mod features: "Six polished clear coats, auto grade Metalflake paint, LED's in the R and L trigger buttons (which switch on and off with the WLAN switch), custom clear orange buttons, custom start and WLAN switches (to look like a car's starter button), faux carbon fiber trim around the edges, and a whole heap of custom decals."[Thanks, Simca!]
Super Mario Galaxy mod turns on our heart lights
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/mods/Super_Mario_Galaxy_Wii_mod'; It's comfortingly rare, but sometimes the internet brings us something so rad that we're unable to say something mean or snarky about it. That's exactly the situation we find ourselves in when we lay eyes on this Super Mario Galaxy-themed Wii created by Morpheon Mods. You win this round, the internet.While the stars and the lettering are nice, we have to say that it's the addition of sound effects that really put it over the top for us. What's more, you could actually own this little masterpiece if you win the eBay auction that's currently sitting around $409. (And some proceeds go to Child's Play!) Remember kids, if your parents say they can't find you a Wii, this one is right there for the taking. Gallery: Super Mario Galaxy Mod
Super Mario Galaxy mod reaches for the stars [update 2]
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/mods/Super_Mario_Galaxy_Wii_mod/'; Mamma mia, that's a nice mod. We'd expect no less from the ever-so-incredible Morpheon Mods crew, who've put together quite a nice collection of Wiis for us to gawk at. The Super Mario Galaxy theme of this particular mod, though, helps it rank as our favorite of the bunch.The LEDs are a nice touch, especially the ones in the back-lit marquee, and we approve of the various sounds they've rigged to the console. We also like the twinkling stars effect -- simply awesome. All in all, it's a stunning mod that can be yours if you have deep pockets, since it's up for auction on eBay. This is one auction that we won't mind seeing skyrocket, however, since a portion of the profits will be donated to Child's Play!%Gallery-20580%[Update: The eBay auction has been removed, for unknown reasons. If the item gets relisted, though, we'll be sure to update the post again with the new link!][Update 2: Yay! The auction was relisted and the eBay link above has been fixed.

Wii casemod makes a quick stop into our hearts
Ramon Stokes is clearly the go-to person when it comes to prettying up the Wii. First, there was this Zelda mod, then this Metroid mod, and after that this really great Rockstar mod. Now, he's at it again, this time with a Wii mod commissioned for Kevin Smith himself. As you can see, the casemod features the four main Clerks characters on the front. The back has a View Askew insignia, and the Nunchucks are labeled "Kevin Smith" and "Silent Bob" (though we're not sure how Smith would manage to play as himself and his movie persona at the same time). This beauty was commissioned as a Christmas gift for Kevin Smith, and took about 60 hours to make. Well done, Ramon; you manage to impress us time and time again.More pictures of this mod can be seen after the jump!
