Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Been going through my email today and noticed I tend to get the same few questions every time. Considering the new traffic from the X-Play appearence on G4, I figured this would be a great time for another “Answers to Frequently Asked Questions” post!
Q: I want to buy an Xbox 360 laptop! -or- Please send me detailed instructions via email!
A: I only build about 1 of these a year, and they’re expensive due to the large amount of labor - think decent used-car expensive. You can find How-To instructions on Engadget, or lots more information in general on our forums.
Q:Â Can you make me a single-handed game controller?
A: Again, there is too much labor involved to build one for every request. However the official production model - which we talked about last fall - is forthcoming. PS2/PS3 versions first, Xbox 360 to follow. Click here to read our last update.
Q: Build me a PS360 controller!
A: Again there are instructions online. I charge far too much for this procedure, again because of time constraints. But if you’re willing to drop the cost of a PS3 to get a custom controller, by all means email me.
Q: You should make / are you working on a PS3 portable?
A: Yes. My upcoming projects are always at least hinted at, if you look closely at my stories and photos.
Q: Create an Xbox 360/PS3/Wii combo unit!
A: No.
In other news, I plan to attend the 2008 Midwest Gaming Classic. As far as I know I won’t be speaking there, but if you’d like anything signed or want to talk shop dig me up. Podcast co-host Jason Jones will probably be there as well, along with many of our forum members.

Hey Ben, how about modding a wii case so it doesn’t fall down when you accidentally pull on the gamecube controller, I guess, that would be making a case that would lie flat with the gamecube slots directly above the actual disc drive. I would do it myself, but I have neither the skill nor the resources.
