PSP Gets Unofficial Xbox Keyboard Mod
Posted by Stuart Houghton at 5:20 AM on September 10, 2008
We know that Sony are working on an official keyboard add-on for the PSP but that won't be here until mid 2009. Why wait that long when there is a perfectly good Xbox Chatpad just sitting on the table over there...
..NO! Heresy! Microsoft and Sony were never meant to be combined in this way! That is right up there with co-habiting dogs & cats, that is.
A depraved hardware modder over at AcidMods has taken an Xbox 360 Chatpad and performed unholy rituals upon it to make it work with the PSP. There was probably solder involved. Solder and goat's blood.

@peAr nectAr: The best part about that song is that it fits almost any situation.

@joandrade: I was expect the universe to end in a huge explosion, myself. That way I wouldn't have to hear about the protesting of the Large Hadron Collider over in Europe.

I can only see this being useful for the browser... but the browser absolutely rapes 99% of websites I've tried to go to on it.

That's pretty sweet, though I don't type on my PSP much so I could definitely wait for the real one to come out, if I really even needed it then.
That music though. The woman singing almost sounded like it could've been Gir belting out a few notes.

Don't tell that to the Sony Vaios that run MS software, or the PS3 that plays WMA files, or the ...

Gizmodo had a better title about this, something like:
"Modder connects 360 chatpad and PSP, fanboy heads explode"
its a good mod nonetheless.

So is there an easy way to get this to work with PC. By easy I mean not spend a few hours setting it up.

There needs to be more topics about solder and goat's blood on this site.

@Eviscerate: is this enough "goat's blood"-ish to you?

Proof that MS, Sony, and Nintendo should make one console!
