With everyone having so much fun redesigning the PS3 controller and redesigining the Nintendo DS, we couldn't resist the urge to have some redesign fun ourselves.
So, the mission is simple: redesign the PSP to improve upon its industrial design, its usability or its functionality (or all of the above). The ground-rules are few and far between, but stick to these basics:
- The screen must remain 16x9 (but we didn't say anything about what size it has to be)
- All of the current buttons and control mechanics must carry over into the new design (you can't remove the analog stick, but we didn't say you couldn't add another one for a total of two)
The prize for expending your precious brain-power? Your very own copy of Archer MacLean's Mercury, and, of course, immortal fame. Next week, we'll announce the winner along with our favorite runner-ups. Your redesigns are due by midnight, Sunday, February 12.
So, get crackin' and send those redesigns to: pspredesign@yahoo.com
