Update - WINNERS FINALLY ANNOUNCED!
Hoorah! I got a break in my hectic schedule to finally pick the winners of this blasted competition! Yes, I said winners as in plural, because the entries were so dern good I couldn't pick just one. The winners are...
Chad Niga - for his impressive PDA-style Portable PlayStation, plus collection of natty skins

(skins at http://www.hostultra.com/~phatboy/Skin1.jpg 2/3/4/5)
and...
TGMBloke - for his frankly bonkers 'Old Man introuding PSP' flash movie. Quite disturbing, but it made me smile and it's obvious some effort went into it.

Well done boys, you both win the game of your choice up to the value of £50. Thanks again for all our entries, we may even send them off to Sony! Or, we may put them in a big sack and drive them off a cliff, who knows? Cheers!

Okay, seeing as the Mascot competition is over and we're not starting another major Extra GAD until the beginning of July (when the new magazine hits), I thought I'd set a mini competition until the end of the month.
All I want you to do is mock up a design of what you think the Sony PSP will look like. If you're none the wiser, have a look at the link below to look at the initial specs - it's a brand new Sony handheld (called the PlayStation Portable) in the works, and it's gonna be wicked. I just wanna see what the twisted brain-wrongs of you lot can belch out onto the page.

Draw 'em in pencil, pen, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro... whatever. Just post your entries in this thread if you can, or send them to the normal competitions e-mail address (this is not a postal competition).
You have until midnight June 30th to scribble your entries, so hop to it, there's not much time! The winner will receive a game of their choice, up to the value of £50. Now fly my pretties, fly!

Mine has the best portability:number of functions ratio. It should win by a metric mile.
Anyway, good idea Rickoss, I probably will number them.
That design was going to be a rough one, and I was planning to do another that was neater and better presented....apathy got the better of me.
Next up: Poostation Portaloo. "Got to that moment in the game when you just can't stop for a toilet break? Just plug yourself in!"

Just because someone put the sliding screen in their design first doesn't mean he won't win.
Same with people's designs not being very practical.
Snuggly didn't ask for us to predict the future. He said

And belch we did.

LOL, that thing is huge Blank, how will it fit in anyone's pocket.
Assuming this is a sensible entry, sarcasm is not often conveyed well with faded hadwriting. And 2Dashing, someone already thought up the sliding design, and on the second layout the face buttons being right on top of the analogue stick mean it'd be hard to hold properly and reach all the buttons.

You could label them with numbers on Paint, then just put what each one says on a web page. Oh, and the drinks holder rocks :-D

Very nice :-)
The second is a bit phuzzy, is that just my computer or is it a scanned design?

Blokey, does imagestation always take a bloody age to upload pictures?
*think.

I agree with that up to a point, i dont the the analogue sticks would be easy to manipulate.
