No Modification PSP TV Adapter

Craig writes "PSP Owners have long been interested in watching the UMD films and playing games on the TV, well now according to a report from Lik Sang they can, the new PSPTV being produced eventually by Gametech will be a no modification addon. From the article: 'The TV Adapter for PSP lets you hook up your PSP to your home television (NTSC and PAL) via Composite or S-Video and Stereo connectors. This adapter requires no modification of your PSP console. This new peripheral takes a completely different approach and clips on top of your PSP screen, with two screws to fit at the back of the handheld (in these two holes you can see on the top of the UMD drive). Some sort of pyramid grows from the base, with a precision lens and mirror system at the top, capturing the image and light, in a similar way a scanner or camera would. It then converts it into a video signal that is sent through video leads going from the adapter to your TV set.'"

... is a TV that fits in your packet

I'm skeptical

[bchernicoff]

I wonder what this will cost, weight, and how good the picture will look. Also, can I clip it to my wang?

Is it the 1st of April already?

Surely this is a joke?

Um...

Seems to me this might be a response to the Video iPod.

hmmm...

PSP $249
UDM movie $20
funny looking video capture device on top of your PSP $100
watching crappy degraded UDM movie on your TV...... PRICELESS.

[Geminus]

I'm not sure if I want to watch anything clipped to your wang...

Version 2 in the works already

Why do you need a TV for a big-screen experience on the PSP? Just make a verison that clips on to a huge fresnel lens. Instant 40" widescreen action!

[masonbrown]

From this picture of a Wang [sieler.com], it looks like you'll need a much bigger Lik-Sang for your Wang.

Fighting on Slashdot is like the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

PS. You're a shining example of why I don my sig.

Obvious!

[Stavr0]

So how does this compare to putting the PSP and a camcorder in a black shoebox and running the cables to your TV?

Patent pending: to use this technique you must send me $100.

yeah you got lost. In fact you didn't even make it out the door.

This is how we will rip HD-DVDs in the near future.
When the path from the disc to the display is completely encrypted,
this will be the only way to duplicate your own movie.
So don't throw away this old videocamera and microphone.

2. Truth.

3. LSD. If birds start whispering to you, you need to lay off the hallucinogens.

Long been interested? LONG?!?!

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that 'all men are created equal'. Which is all well and good, but why the fuck can't I hook my PSP up to the TV? It's a God-damn simple concept! I just keep asking myself how long is it going to take for someone to crack this shizzle, you knizzle?"

Actually there's no headphone plug, it comes with a tiny mic which you glue on the speaker for the audio...

Otherwise the sound quality wouldn't match the images.

I'm in a hotel, EVERYTHING (including the food) is VHS quality.
