So, Gremlin got me a PSP. I didn't mention that here, but...now I am.

It's one of the newer ones, obviously. Not new as in actually new, but new as in a 2000 and not an original.

It had to go in to be fixed [which the store paid for], so I was kinda without it for two weeks after I got it. But it's good as new now.

Better, because I just replaced the faceplate. For under six bucks. All by myself. Because the screen was scratched, and they were quoting me prices that'd cover a whole new PSP.

The hard part was getting out the screw that their tech stripped. That was annoying.

The new faceplate is black, by the way. And yes, I ordered it from dealextreme.com -- less than a week ago, actually. I didn't pay extra for shipping, either.

Both faceplates.

And the PSP, taken apart. Ish. Not completely, although I did do that two days ago, just to prove to myself that I could do it and get it back together again properly.

I forgot, the other hard part was keeping the screen clean while I was putting it back together. Because, you see, that internal screen is a hair magnet, and I own a cat.

But, I managed.

And it still works. So, yay.

I think it looks nice this way, with the white buttons and the black. And now it's very much mine. Unique and special...just like all the other people who've done this.
