Playstation 3 Portable
After about 14 months of on-again-off-again work I have finally finished a Playstation 3 Portable:
Wanna see more? Check out Engadget.com!
Some quick specs:
- Original 60 gig PS3 model with backwards compatibility.
- 17″ HDTV 720p screen, with HDMI connection. (Same as last Xbox 360 laptop)
- Built-in keyboard and stereo audio amplifier.
- Measures 17″ x 13.75″ x 3″ (actually thinner than a stock PS3) and weighs 16 pounds!
You can view more photos on the main story page at Engadget.com. In the coming weeks the “Making Of” articles will follow.
This unit was built by their request and is intended to be auctioned off for charity - more details to come. Since I am already busy with other things, I will not be making any more of these. Feel free to email and ask for other custom design work or inquiries, however!

Awesome! I just read the Engadget article and viewed the photo gallery. Absolutely beautiful, and so incredibly complicated it knocks my socks off. Which charity will be helped by the auction?
April 10th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
AMAZING! How is it thinner then the actual PS3!? I also noticed it says “CANS” and not “PHONES” lol why? So anyway how much is someone forkin’ out for this baby $5000 or more?

OMG ITS HERE IS FINALLY HERE THE PS3p WOOOOO!

I couldn’t figure out why the site was taking so long. So while I was waiting I went over to Engadget and saw the culprit staring back at me. I absolutely love it! Your laptops are looking cleaner and cleaner with each execution. Keep up the good work.
April 11th, 2008 at 12:12 am
What are you doing with the old case?
April 11th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Awesome, can’t wait for the making of article, maybe I can figure out how to do the sound on mine from how you did yours. Great design, though my design is more or less the polar opposite of that.
April 11th, 2008 at 12:58 am
Good stuff. I hope i can get it with a low bid :P
it loooks really niice.
April 11th, 2008 at 1:34 am
Dude…I swear you’re the modding Jesus. I’d buy your modded ps3 over the original anytime.

hey does the wifi connection still work? or even the internet?
April 11th, 2008 at 4:00 am
Amazing. Another very nice conversion of console to laptop. Never ceases to amaze me that it can be done, this one even looks more interesting and less clunky than it’s original case. Having a hi-def screen on it is really cool.

Nice!!!
April 11th, 2008 at 7:13 am
16 lbs… I guess that’s why it’s a portable, rather than a laptop! Another piece of stunning work. I am in awe, as I always am when I read your blog.

April 11th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Man that is awesome. I would seriously buy that. Congratulations, that is just too cool….
April 12th, 2008 at 12:27 am
Very, very impressive.
Any way of plugging it into an external screen?
Any worries about heat dissipation?
April 12th, 2008 at 12:33 am
Woah! If Ben would build a factory with workers who can make these laptops stuff, almost everyone would love to buy one. But I don’t get the weight of the PS3p. Sounds like the LCD screen is gaining the weight.
Can you provide instructions on how to build a PS3p? I am gonna make something serious this time! (If only I had the money sonny!)

With that happening and all, I guess my PS2 will be getting replaced by a PS3, not 360.

how you do it? a;lready have the case off mine and am plucking u8p the courage to start flattening out a few capacitors a few pointers would be lots of help! is it watercoooled like the 360 one? im sure an informed build from csratch could provide some weight savings maybe cos id take it everywhere with me and youd have to put wheels on it after a bit. 16 pound scary monster. and was there anything radically different from the xbox method? amazing, what would be most interesting would be to see what it would be like if you were to use the smallest laptop specific components where substitutes would be compatible such as the wifi module if the controller systems would allow it. if sony havent consulted let alone employed you yet they are mugs - waht do you reckon you could get it to weigh and wht would its dimensions be if you had factory support and project specific component manufacture? 12 pounds? 10? 8???????? go on tell us cos i dont want to have to build one i want to get mine from argos. are you listening mr head of development at sony???????????
