That thing is hideous. But I like how it says "loudness" instead of "volume."

Heh was just halfway through reading the site when it was closed down thanks to slashdot. Always interesting to see these.

Uhhhh.... Oooookkkaaayyyy...

That thing looks like %@#&, especially on the inside.

Don't get me wrong - it's an accomplishment to build something like that, quite impressive from a design POV, but as an actual portable it's useless. Not because it's huge, or may have short battery life, but because the stick/button layout is completely different to a standard PS2 pad. How is one supposed to reach the shoulder buttons when using the D-pad/right analog stick? And there's no analog sensitivity in the buttons either. :? So, it's nothing but a curiosity, really.

Looking over the site, it's great what this guy is doing but why does every unit he make look extremly ugly? If he could fix that I then he would have a truely remarkable piece of hardware.

I think it might have to do with making a portable system out of a full sized one.. I mean, it must be hard to work with creatively..

Though, I think this guy Dave (http://www.portablesystems.bravepages.com) does a somewhat better job..

I think his method of manufacture may be to blame. As he cuts stuff out of sheet material and glues it together into a box, he can't make bevelled edges.
