"MINI EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE - PSP Design!"

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!

Is this how to send my competition pic

2dashings are too good therefore I will not put an effort to make one myself. w00t w00t

Thanks Monkey Man.

I agree Cookie Monster, but hey, I'm not designing for Sony themselves, I just want to put a concept forward. PSP1 in my opinion succeeds ergonomically, while PSP2 dosnt, which I pointed out as it is more aesthetically pleasing. But again, it's just a bit of fun so some flaws can be expected and accepted.

They look pretty, but they all fail miserably when it comes to ergonomics.

Wow, they're really good. I hope you win.

Heh, suppose it does. Like a tub of Vaseline or something. :)
