Classic Fan Redesign vs. Real Thing

Compare the former and the latter. They’re basically the same thing, but one is jaw-droppingly gorgeous while the other is the polar opposite. The kicker is that the fan-rendered version looks more like a high-end Sony product than the Sony one does.

[Edit] Here they are side by side.

  1. I’ll be damned, you’re right. I would buy the shit out of the fan-made one, except that it appears to have no shoulder buttons and the battery would clearly last only a few nanoseconds. I think the Go simply looks… bland, when shut. But slid open, it’s pretty awkward.

  2. Oh yeah, Sony totally phoned it in on this one. It’s a Mylo, except without the cute colors.
    I have difficulty playing a ds lite for too long, I doubt I could make it for 15 minutes with a psp go before hand cramps set in.

  3. Yeah, that fan made mockup is way slicker.

  4. I don’t care for psp at all… but I would buy the fan made one, it just looks so slick, with a giant screen :D

  5. Wow… I’ve never agreed more with your opinion! I’d almost want to buy the PSP on the left, but that right one… it looks like its only competition is the original design for the DS Phat.
