Master console hacker Ben Heckendorn has done it again. This time around, the PlayStation 3 gets some attention from Ben, with the final result being the PlayStation 3 Portable - a self contained PlayStation 3 Laptop.

 

The PS3 Portable features a 17" widescreen HDTV screen (720p resolution), and HDMI/DVI port for use with an external video source, a built in keyboard, stereo amplifier and a 60GB hard drive. Rounding out the fun is the fact that this model was built around one of the original 60GB PlayStation 3's, meaning it features full, hardware based backward compatibility with the PlayStation and PlayStation 2.

You know, I wish I had the tools and talent required to build these machines, because every time I see one of Heckendorn's creations, I find myself suddenly covered in drool. I mean, just look at this thing - it all but has the words sexy typed on it. According to Engadget, for whom the laptop was built, the PS3 Portable will soon be auctioned off for charity, so if you happen to have far more money than you know what to do with, be sure to keep tabs on this one. (and while you're at it, why not send me a few grand? I could use a vacation!)
