What are we talking about, folks? Well, there's a special PSP auction being held right now, with the prize of the auction being a specially modded God of War-styled PSP. As you can see from the above pictures, the entire thing has been decked out in Kratosian awesomeness with hand-sculpted war dogs and omega symbol on the back, and an interchangeable custom faceplate for the front.

The best part of this darling PSP is the auction itself. Fifteen percent of the final sale price will end up getting donated to Child's Play, a nonprofit organization that specializes in donating toys and video games to children's hospitals worldwide.

Currently, the auction is at US$ 1,225, so you can definitely say that it's getting a lot of buzz. In any case, if you want to see a full description, as well as more pictures of the actual PlayStation Portable, feel free to visit the Via link below.
