NYC's giant PSP Phat billboard taken down, gets screen upgrade |
Ó
If you've been somewhere near SoHo/NoHo central at New York, you must have seen one of its most memorable attractions: the huge PSP Phat billboard. In certain rare occasions, it might have dazzled you with some PSP ads when you visited the area.Some locals, however, will remember it more as a very old and rundown thing of the past. For the most part, it's never been seen 100% working - it's either got dead pixels or, quite simply, a fully dead screen.
After three years of amusing pederstians, that's all about to change now though.
The huge PSP Phat billboard on Houston Street and Lafayette Street is getting a screen upgrade*. Yeah, just like with the PSP-3000! They're taking down the billboard - the body will be replaced with new parts (probably to reflect that of the PSP-3000's) as well as get a shiny new screen too.
* PSP-3000 scanline "features" may not be included.

By the love of God... would you please stop that? It childish and uncalled for... Don't like don't buy it... That simple...
So why did they release broken hardware?
Broken? where? I don't see where you are getting at...
It's not broken, its a "feature"
remember how almost all of the original PSP's had dead pixels and Sony just basically said get over it? The Slims have better screens though right? Or at least the ones I've seen. I agree with KyyubiDX. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
feature - A prominent or distinctive aspect, quality, or characteristic
Clearly Sony meant to use it as saying that its an aspect that is part of the screen and not something else meaning its a feature of the screen... and is not fixable without replacing the screen itself
please go away.
