Portable Playstation 3

Portable Playstation 3



Techknott of the BenHeck forums today revealed a rather polished new unit capable of receiving video and audio signals wirelessly from PS3s whilst functioning as a controller itself, therefore essentially acting as a 'portable' PS3. Limited of course by the necessity to be within range of the actual console, this still provides an attractive option for gamers struggling for rights to the TV, for those late night sessions sitting in bed after the lights go off, or just for the convenience of being able to continue pwning n00bs whilst getting the vacuuming done.

For a user-made mod, the prototype is exceptionally sleek, not that the designer is any newcomer to the scene having produced a similar product for the 360. A tutorial will be prepared shortly for any keen hobbyists, and techknott also plans on selling the units if demand is high.

Please people! Read the article/article source properly.
It isn't at all a PORTABLE PS3, because all it is, is a system that gets stuff STREAMED from your PS3.

That's not a notebook/lap-top. That's a projector.

Aeschylus is talking about...



Ben Heck, who is (world renowned for modding, etc.) the same person as this portable PS3 streamer (which this thread is based upon).

I can see this having a lot of potential in the market. Then again, thinking about it something a PSP should be able to accomplish within Sony's rights. Undecided, wouldn't be for me, though very handy for people that cannot get the big screen Tv certain hours of the day/night.

Nice find Chuz.
