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.

No really I wouldn't buy PSP or PS3 until they're GBA and GCN prices.

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

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

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

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.;

Sigh...
Do you think Samus could beat Kratos?
How about Lara Croft vs Master Chief?

The copper buttons are a pretty cool idea, as well.
