We'd like to declare a true end to tacky PSP styling options that "feature" plastic rhinestones. To celebrate, Thrustmaster announced five new options to protect your PSP Slim or Lite in May 2008. The T-Case ($12.99) and T-Travel Charge ($16.99) lets you watch videos through the clear casing and it also doubles as a stand. What's the difference? For $4 more, the T-Travel comes with the T-Case, a cigarette lighter charger and a retractable 2-in-1 USB cable for charging and transferring files.

And with more letter T power than Mr. T, the T-Megapack ($29.99) gives PSP Slim and regular PSP owners a stiff and opaque case called the T-Travel Bag (sold separately for $12.99), a stereo headset called the T-Stereo (sold separately for $15.99), a UMD carrying case (holds 5 UMD + two memory stick duo cards), a screen protector plus a 2-in-1 USB cord and a cigarette lighter charger. Maybe it will arrive soon enough so you can give your mom one on Mother's Day. She'd probably love to share.

Now, this is what Sony should have done with the PlayStation Portable in the first place. An enterprising gearhead nicknamed L0rdNic0 has ripped up his PSP and rebuilt it with two analog control sticks.

If you've ever tried to play a first-person shooter on the PSP, you know this is pure genius, and we hope Sony will rip this guy's idea off without delay for the next-gen PSP.
