"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!

Don't you people read anything?

Have the winners of this contest been announced yet?

Now that I looked at Chads I realise there was no point in entering. Very very good Cahd.

This probably looks like a dozen other attempts.

The new case one.

Err, Chad? Why the hell would it be rotated vertically for other media content? I believe the phrase is "widescreen", not "tallscreen" - no one would want to look at a screen that is taller than it is wide, especially if they have to flip the thing round every other minute. Plus when it's flipped the buttons are in awkward positions. I know it was just an idea, but it was a spazzy one.

Well I bet you feel stupid
