Bringing out the worst in Sony’s marketing
May 31, 2008 on 9:14 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffWe've all seen our fair share of Sony's marketing blunders over the past year or so, everything from terrible commercials, potential changes, and perhaps a lack of marketing period. It seems Sony is slowly turning things around, with some improved PS3 spots at the end of last year. Luckily for us, we don't need to search around for all of Sony's previous mistakes. PSP Fanboy has put together an organized list of the Top 10 worst Playstation ads. They hit on everything from the graffiti madness to a certain "x-mas blog." Sony, with all due respect, this site surely wouldn't exist without your genius creation of the PSP. With that said, you and your marketing agency have made some horrible choices in the past. Let's try to bring some dignity back to the Playstation brand!
Hardware modification allows DualShock support
May 31, 2008 on 8:48 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffAnother insane project has come from the Acid Mods, allowing you to use your DualShock controller to control the PSP. While you can't control the volume and backlight settings from the controller, you have full access to the PSP controls, and can power on/off. Unfortunately for most, this requires some pretty intense hardware modifications, adding a 25 pin connector to the right-hand side of the PSP. Otherwise, firmware is not an issue, this is simply allowing your DualShock to control your PSP, and requires no homebrew or custom firmware. Any takers?
