That's awesome. Seriously. I want one now, even tho I am a Nintendo/Atari Fanboy!

However, there are two things I don't like about this (no, not the exposed CD thing, even tho I can imagine it will make the laser get dirtier sooner):
-the blue LEDs (I just dislike them...)
-the un-pacmanish eye. These should look like an early mickey mouse.

Honestly, I'm not too crazy about the Pac-Eye and blue lights, but it has your usual quality, seamless Bondo work.

Nice job!

If you want to make the lines more closely resemble the lines in the game, you could cut a long hole out of the case, put the LEDs inside, and use something like translucent plastic or wax paper to diffuse the light.

(How does Pac-Man move around the maze anyway? Does he fly? Walk? Roll?)

He glides, bic.

Also, why is everyone commenting on his bondo work? There is none... Furthermore, no one has commented on his little PlayStation emblem on the front of the case - dunno how that got there.

He "glides", eh? Is that anything like the MC Hammer Slide?

As for the Bondo work, I thought the original PS logo was indented, but the old power LED hole is definitely filled in.

Actually, according to the arcade art, he has legs, and walks.

"What bondo work?" must be one of the best compliments a modder can receive.

Looks amazing, man. I'm not so thrilled about the LEDs though. Too bright. On my SNESp, I put a coat or two of paint (white) over the LED. It still glows, but it's soft, not DS Lite use-it-as-a-flashlight bright.

Damn straight!

Aside from the LED-hole filling then, there's no need for bondo...
