God of War-themed PSP rules Mt. Olympus

We really wish this wasn't an eBay auction item, but it's still incredibly cool nonetheless -- and 15% of the final sale goes to Child's Play, so we don't feel that guilty featuring it. Anyway, this is an actual modded PSP which, beyond the accoutrements, was painted in an "18-step process" and then tarnished to match Kratos' armor. Currently the system is up to $590 so it's inching to the combined cost of four PSPs; but it's the labor, detail and charity aspect that make it a nice deal.

Beyond the paint job, the unit also features red LEDs in the shoulder buttons which stay lit through playing and charging time. The modder says he used Sony's premium rechargeable power pack so the accent lighting didn't hurt the battery life. Beyond that there's a bunch of hand sculpted elements so that it fits "comfortably in the hands." It also comes with a second faceplate which mimics Kratos' tattoos. Certainly a nice piece of art and an obvious, albeit nerdy, conversation piece.

I'd buy that for a dollar!
No really I wouldn't buy PSP or PS3 until they're GBA and GCN prices.

you just a cheap bastard plain and simple bow up and be a man

There are only a few games I want on either system compared to the dozen games I got on DS and Wii. I'm not going to invest that much money on those systems.

I'm not a god of war fan, but that looks awesome as hell

The Zelda themed DS was cooler.

...because Link could kick Kratos' ass in a fight.
Totally.

That is kool as hell! But I wonder which firmware is on it...

Link vs. Kratos, LOL, I don't think it's fair to pit a god against a mortal.

samfish @ Jul 24th 2007 3:06PM

Not fair to Kratos, no.
No one deserves that kind of a humiliating, royal beat down. Not even an asshole like Kratos.

Hate to break it to you but zelda's for kiddies...and so is your argument.

Noshino @ Jul 24th 2007 3:15PM

Even Zelda can give a "Royal" bet up to Link...

AlexP @ Jul 24th 2007 3:09PM

Looks nice... Also looks uncomfortable as hell. :\

God of War? More like Gaudy of War.

"actually rusts in air"

zomg link could not beat kratos after all link is a mortal

but then again he has the master sword, how would that work

i think maybe if he used the bomb arrows to distract kratos and then the dual chains on the weapons

i am not sure, i think spiderman could beat them both though.;

Link would win. He has defeated Gods in Legend of Zelda. I mean Look at Ganondorf he comes back even after they stab him in the head. Ganon is easily stronger than Kratos and Ganon got his ass beat down by Link so Link would win. He is the Hero of Time after all.
