The PSPBoy: It's fake, but it has dual analog sticks! |
Ó
So you really want dual analog sticks, huh? Get a load of the new PSP then! All kidding aside, it's clearly just one hell of a beautifully-crafted physical mock-up. We couldn't find any details about who made this apart from the "Design: Mod Soul" sig on the image, though.
The dual analog sticks are a great idea, but the positioning of those sticks would be hell on the thumbs. And where are the triggers? If they're where I think they are, it's going to take a pretty high level of dexterity (or freakishly long fingers) to properly this bad boy. Still, if this thing was actually available in stores, I'd probably go out and buy one. Too bad it inherited the Game Boy's tiny little screen though.
This also reminds me of that incident when a mom had her 12-year-old kid arrested for opening his Christmas presents early. The incident report about that one had the present pegged as some weird hybrid called a "PlayStation Game Boy" (it was actually a GBA). This proves that the people who filed the report weren't noobs after all. Oh, wait, no it doesn't.
Update: We know, we know. We didn't spot this one right away in our forums, so we're really sorry we goofed up. But now at least we're clear about one thing: that isn't "Design: Mod Soul" on the image. It's MaDSoul! MaDSoul, I say! And he did craft this image by using - guess what - Photoshop!
MaDSoul from our PSP forums tells us that he took a photo of his PSP and of his old Game Boy Portable, used Photoshop, and voila! We now have the PSPBoy! Too bad this isn't real, eh? It would be so cool...
Again, our apologies. And nice work, MaDSoul.

this is cool even though fake
if somebody believed it wasn't a fake...well goodness. just saying i don't think it's too obscure that it's not a fake. but hm...for dual analog sticks i might just spring for one. :D
ouch
well its a really stupid. what the hell i mean... so he is trying to solve gba = psp ? ... and there are no R and L buttons.(which they even have in gba) ...
Would be a real pain to play though.
i want one of those...kk the display doesnt look high res but I think theyre really cool^^ Id like to buy one if they can play gb/c/a backups from storage card^^
You posted this nearly a year ago you idiots!!!! Recycling old news how low can you get.
It's fake you idiots, MaDSouL did that!
Geez... not mod soul... MaDSoul... from the qj forums made this awhile ago..
No ***** Einstein
He's on OUR FORUMS! He released this here! Its MaDSouL! God....at least check the forums once in a while bloggers....there's even a thread about this being on Kotaku in Off-Topic...
...you bloggers never ever visit the forums ehh....? -___- i made that crappy fake like 8 month ago...
haha they dont even knoww our own MaDSouL
I say its fake.
Good work QJ, for proving again your articles really lack quality...
Well this what you all want right? Cause you all don't even play any PSP games. So why not just go and buy a game boy cause you all miss it so F###### much! I hate nintendo and you *****'s that can't move on from it. I bet he made that to prove a point. Psp is just a new version of a Gameboy to you DevHook people.
im gonna go cum
Looks so real that I want to buy it.
Really well done!
it's not the blogger's fault that madsoul's design skills don't extend to readable typography.
white power
save sum for me!!!111!!!
idiot o yea go ahead and say somethin back u noe lol i dont deal with ignorance
It's also Game Boy Pocket, not Portable. :-P
You must be blind..lol..Gameboy Pocket?..Looks more like a Gameboy Color and Yes, there is a different..lol..
its not supposed to be real or practical, it's a piece of art geez
If I was Ben Heckendorn, http://benheck.com/ ( the crafty console creator) I would make this. Too bad I'm not.
wow thats ugly, but beautiful for making it ugly -lol
um........... that's a gameboy pocket my proof http://i18.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/28/df/4c_2.JPG -pocket http://www.zock.com/8-Bit/GBC2.JPG -color there are differences but as i don't really care, and find this very amusing kudos to madsoul getting front page, and making me laugh
A 2nd thumbstick would be great, but I wouldn't give up PSP's beautiful wide screen for the shape of a stupid GB.
Karl B. .....
@lolololol: It's a gameboy pocket, you can tell by the rounded bottom right corner. I never did hear of a Gameboy Portable, i thought they were all portable.
That is so old... Give me some new fake!
well, even if that wouldn't be a fake - it still sucks!
LOL
...I guess sony would be smart to join up with Nintendo and admit defeat. I would buy that if it were real. Could you imagine? PSP graphics with dual analog and Nintendo's long battery time. Who the hell cares if it has a small screen!
black power
what a fight over a stupid fake wanna be psp
your not supposed to show how stupid you can be. its just a photoshoped image that you can look at.
no, its a gameboy color mdha
O_O Madsoul = Photoshop God.
Ya know this'll be used in a Nintendo fanboy's "Sony's always copying lord Ninty" Project, as an "Image sony released of their next portable games console" with words such as "Looks like a Gameboy Color" and "Blatant theives" used as captions.
