No Modification PSP TV Adapter

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the because-voiding-the-warranty-is-bad dept.

Craig writes "PSP Owners have long been interested in watching the UMD films and playing games on the TV, well now according to a report from Lik Sang they can, the new PSPTV being produced eventually by Gametech will be a no modification addon. From the article: 'The TV Adapter for PSP lets you hook up your PSP to your home television (NTSC and PAL) via Composite or S-Video and Stereo connectors. This adapter requires no modification of your PSP console. This new peripheral takes a completely different approach and clips on top of your PSP screen, with two screws to fit at the back of the handheld (in these two holes you can see on the top of the UMD drive). Some sort of pyramid grows from the base, with a precision lens and mirror system at the top, capturing the image and light, in a similar way a scanner or camera would. It then converts it into a video signal that is sent through video leads going from the adapter to your TV set.'"

    I wonder what this will cost, weight, and how good the picture will look. Also, can I clip it to my wang?

      From this picture of a Wang, it looks like you'll need a much bigger Lik-Sang for your Wang.

    PSP $249
    UDM movie $20
    funny looking video capture device on top of your PSP $100
    watching crappy degraded UDM movie on your TV...... PRICELESS.

    oh wait... no this seems really f'ing stupid... why dosn't the psp have some sort of tv out anyway?

    "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that 'all men are created equal'. Which is all well and good, but why the fuck can't I hook my PSP up to the TV? It's a God-damn simple concept! I just keep asking myself how long is it going to take for someone to crack this shizzle, you knizzle?"
