    Kids don't like homemade versions of real stuff. Your kid doesn't want a homemade skateboard, or a homemade Playstation 2. They want to be like all of their friends.

    I actually check his page pretty frequently for his mods. You should check out his portable NES and the vagabond atari, they're some of his smallest ones and are quite impressive. That PS2 one is not exactly pocket-sized...but still impressive none the less.

    That is awsome... it's always nice to see some people with a bit on imagination and talent... maybe Sony (or MS) should give him a job.

    After flipping through the site, and looking at the construction images, I noticed that he has integrated the controller into the unit. Interesting, but makes one thought come to mind:

    Its almost as big as the original xbox controller.

    Maddening, perhaps?

    Does anyone else find it rather sad that he can hack together a portable PS2 system with equal or better battery life than Sony's official PSP?
