Words are neither necessary nor applicable. Probably old but still awesome.

[Heathen]

Old.

Real old.

He made one for all 3 consoles...

[Limited]

Yeah this is like hella old, where have you been?? :D

[Ifafudafi]

Knew it was old. Pah.

Lock or open for re-discussion?

[Heathen]

rediscussion. Find the wii and ps3 ones...

[cheezdue]

Forgot all about this O_o. Need to save more money!

[Lateksi]

NO. Don't lock! I've never seen this and when I just saw the creation I was freaking amazed and hoped they'd make more of those and sell them >_<

Also, the guy knows the console damn well!

[Bodzilla]

Supa old, but didnt alot of things such as this get banned off Xbox live when Microsuck implemented all that bullshit about people modding their consoles?

I was a bit sore over that beacuse these are magnificant mods and they would of been royally screwed over by that.

I don't get how they could ban the perpetrators off Live since it's merely a hardware rearrangement (minus the keyboard wiring), but their reasoning is obvious. The guy's making money, and Microsoft doesn't like that. If a portable Xbox is coming out, they want it to be theirs.

[Bodzilla]

nah i think the original ones he made had bigger harddrives or something like that.

and thats where they lost money because people whernt paying through there ass for the same as an Elite.

[LinkandKvel]

But now he can't interchange HDDs any more.

[Heathen]

Get pics of the wii and 360 ones http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-arghfist.gif (http://forums.somethingawful.com/misc.php?action=showsmilies):awesome:

Heh, I remember when this project was so new, so young... his designs have really improved over time, especially with the 360p elite. Haven't seen the Wii/PS3 laptops though.

[Ifafudafi]

Here's the Wii one (http://benheck.com/01-19-2007/portable-wii-laptop-podcast-episode-11-and-a-fun-video), and here's the PS3. (http://benheck.com/04-10-2008/playstation-3-portable)

Also updated Xbox. (http://benheck.com/12-02-2008/new-xbox-360-portable)

You think he'll get a contract with MS, Nintendo, or Sony for those?

[Heathen]

Where is the keyboard on the new 360?

And dark, I doubt it. Things like this have always been done...ya know?

[DaneO'Roo]

the ps3 one looks quite noice.

I don't see how a 360 laptop could be detected and subsequently banned without the user telling Microsoft that they're using one. From what I can see, the laptop is just a repositioning of the hardware components. It uses no custom chips, BIOS, etc. Hell, the keyboard is USB. Anything that laptop uses to make the hardware portable is done with adapters and components readily available to any normal consumer (USB hub, HDMI-to-DVI adapter).

The only thing that can come wrong with this is that the warranty is obviously voided.

[Bodzilla]

i was sure that the original Xbod360 had a bigger hard drive.

his lastest ones dont i know for a fact, but i thought he put a bigger harddrive in the original, because it was before all that HUR DUR ELITE XBOX360 DERP DERP DERP bullshit.

[Invader Veex]

Lol, Ben? I actually see him every now and then. I should really get to know him better. This is old news, now.

Which reminds me, I gotta get back to helping my friend build his ps1 portable.

[Rook]

I'm gonna hop into this thread sounding like a dumbass, but you can hook up a USB keyboard to a 360?

[ShadowSpartan]

Yes you can, use the usb ports on the front of the 360.

[Rook]

Well I didn't know that, would be cool if they would release a browser for the 360 like the PS3 and Wii have.

Also, those laptop consoles are pretty slick -- more so if you game on the go I suppose.

PS1 portable? You do know they used to sell screens/batteries for the thing, right? Actually, I may still have that stuff together. brb, Frogger.

[Hotrod]

Yeah, this is quite old news, but it's still quite kickass. If I had the money, I'd definitely get one of those.

cool post bro, gb2 page 1

These are pretty cool, I wonder if it has the option to use a bigger screen for stuff like split screen.

It's not really portable. It's just more convenient for the user because there's a screen, keyboard, and Wi-Fi adapter all together. You people can't forget it still needs to be plugged in.


You think he'll get a contract with MS, Nintendo, or Sony for those?

Microsoft would probably show up to his house, offer to buy him out, smash it to pieces, and laugh at him. Then, they would ban even repositioning hardware so they could use that idea because it's a good one.

[Corndogman]

The portable Wii would be great for parties, just bring your A/V plugs and power adapter and its super easy to carry on over to a friends house.

[Advancebo]

How does he manage to get the parts, like the casing and stuff?

[flibitijibibo]

A friend of his runs a local metalworking place, so he/they make all their own stuff.
