Disco PSP Don't Advertise
Posted by Stuart Houghton at 10:40 AM on September 24, 2008
Sure, the Nintendo kids can rock a party with their Korg emulator, but with this somewhat excessive PSP mod, you could BE the party.
30 LEDs went into producing this disco monster - all linked to the sound output and set to pulse in time with whatever bangin' choons the owner (Travis) wishes to inflict upon the world.
This PSP is available for weddings, birthday parties and Bah Mitzvah's.
A very cool and very bright PSP modification [Maxconsole]

When it first turned on, I immediately heard the five-note melody from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

@aNiMeMaN14: Agreed, this is probably my new favorite, beating out last year's "Sony Won't Shut Up About The Damn PlayStation Phone"

I think it looks ugly. Nothing wrong with a a little modding but this guy took it way too far.

Do want!
Only problem is that it'll probably destroy the battery. Might as well just get two or three back up batteries.

Dude I would buy this, even though I would go blind twice as fast than just playing a psp regularly
some people just have way tooooooooo much time on their hands

Holy hell. That looks awesome. I wonder how much of a drag on power those lights are.

They should combine this with Pulse and cause massive epilepsy.

Did he turn it on with a magnet? A bullet? Looked like it...
That would be awesome.

That was fantastic. Now he just need to figure out how to get it in the dash of his car and if he does have a car oh how I want to see it.
ps Was he turning on the psp with a magnet. When did people figure out how to do that?

The front side was okay, the UMD slot on the back just looked tacky though.

He turned it on, and at the same time, NORAD showed 15 unidentified blips on their radar.

Well this would certainly make you the hit of the late night anime con rave scene but I wasn't that impressed. The lights didn't do much and the ones that did blink were pretty limited. A good first attempt I suppose but this guy is no Ben Heck.

In my world there's no such thing as "too much LED".
But how can such an intelligent, skilled modder be into such a vacant, braindead song?
The humanity!

@Odin: It looked like he replaced the umd thingy with a speaker.. at least when he turned the lights off and fiddled with it. But maybe I'm dreaming that up to fit the "Disco PSP" theme.

awesome mod... ive always wanted a media player that could flash lights to the music I play... sadly i think my form of dream media player would have a short battery life

@ScubaSteveDE:
yah, its kinda ugly, but the idea of the lights flashing in beat with the music your playing.. its a cool idea for sure.. and also pretty rad that the guy was able to actually make it all work!

Yes, he was turning it on and of with a magnet I think.
Plus, did you notice the UMD cover psp logo was replaced with a speaker? He probably had removed the UMD drive and loads everything viva the mem card.
