Pascal writes "After delivering some classic first impressions of the PSP last Tuesday, including some interesting loading time tests, the happy thugs at Lik Sang have now respected their tradition by opening up the PlayStation Portable. If you ever wanted to know how Sony puts such a powerful hardware inside such a small casing, there is a huge picture gallery of the guts over at Lik-Sang.com"

Servers these days: no respect for Slashdot... by WIAKywbfatw · 2004-12-11 05:06 · Score: 3, Funny

"I tell ya, back in my day, when you linked to a picture gallery from the Slashdot homepage then you went down hard, you stayed down hard, and you damn well liked it. Nowadays, these servers just take it on the chin like it means nothing to them. That's just not proper or respectful. It reminds me of the time when..."

Seriously though, kudos to the guys at lik-sang.com for having not folded like a house of cards in a hurricane as soon as this story was posted here. I always wonder when people take apart these toys if they ever manage to put them back together in anything like working order.

  I do, but there's always exactly 2 screws extra. No more, no less. Oh, and maybe an extra gear (like when I took apart my Perfection game when I was a child).
  
  They always still work afterwards, though. I wonder if engineers add a few extra screw just so people like me can remove them. ;)
Some "Value Pack" by sokoban · 2004-12-11 05:10 · Score: 2, Funny

$450-$600 for the value pack? I guess some people have to have the latest and greatest I guess.
This is a pretty cool little device though. MP3 playback and JPEG support should allow for minutes or even hours of quality jackage.

  Jpeg support for quality jackage? You bet.

I wonder how long it'll be before we can wardrive with a PSP?
That all depends... How long does it take you to build a pigtail?
