Late last month we posted a story on a PSP designed to be the ultimate piece of God of War modded art. Turns out the eventual winner of that auction, with a bid of $1725 (with 15% going to Child's Play charity), was Ready at Dawn Studio, the company behind God of War: Chains of Olympus. But the story doesn't stop there.
Turns out that Ready at Dawn decided to fly the guy who created the GoW PSP out to Southern California to hand-deliver it himself. Ramon Stokes, who created the PSP, then got to play the Chains of Olympus demo and hang out for a bit. Sure, this is one of those over-the-top PR sorts of things that y'all can be bitter and jaded about, but it's still cool to see someone make a piece of art and have it be recognized.

That's a lot to pay just to find out if it will blend.

Ready at Dawn then sacrificed him to allow his spilled blood to reveal more code for the game.

They then filled his corpse with soup and had a party.

'Bitter and jaded.' It's amusing how people won't get over themselves.
God forbid the gaming community gets along, and we enjoying our medium. God forbid you enjoy an article because of console preference.

I don't even think that PSP is nice... lol. I am not bitter, I am voicing my opinion. But the whole story is really cool, how the developer bought the PSP, and invited him to hand deliver it. Very cool stuff.

I can imagine when the game ships that RAD might do a giveaway with the modded PSP. How cool that would be?

I think he should get a free copy of the game when it comes out.

To those who said "this PSP is ugly" and "meh", Please send the mods you have done to be posted on joystiq so your opinion will become slightly relevant. Thanks.
