This mod turns the PSP into a tiny PS2 with Bluetooth controller support

What if you could turn a PSP with a broken screen into a miniature PS2, connect a Bluetooth controller to it, and play PSP games on your TV? Thats the idea behind Retro Mod Works PS Placeable, a mod that consolizes the PSP and was featured yesterday in a video from the YouTube channel Macho Nacho Productions. Retro Mod Works charges $274.99 for a prebuilt PS Placeable. Those are waitlisted at the moment, though a message on the site says the project is a one man show and that the demand for the Placeable was higher than anticipated. Retro also offers to mod customer-provided PSPs for $100 less, and theres an option preorder DIY parts and do the conversion work yourself. The mod requires either a PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 revision, as the first PSP didnt have a video output. Its not clear when the DIY parts will ship weve asked Retro Mod Works and will update if we get a reply.A stack of PS Placeables.

Hes also mentioned in replies on Reddit that his goal is to help people revive broken PSPs with the mod, which doesnt need the consoles screen.But buying one of these mod kits can be pricey or require skills most people dont have. If you just want to play PSP games on your TV and dont care about having a UMD drive, the PSP Go which lacked Sonys oddball optical drive but supported Bluetooth controllers and also had a way to output video is still pretty easy to come by.
