I love this concept design for the PSP! It doesn’t look like its as practical to use as a gaming device than the current design with controls on either side of the screen. But its as stylish as hell and works as an excellently simple screen for your movies when closed.

A giant mechanical spider, part of a piece of free theatre by French company La Machine entitled “Les Mecaniques Servants”, walks along the waterfront in Liverpool, England on September 5, 2008.

The 37-ton spider which stands at 50 feet (15 metres) tall was in Liverpool as part of the city’s European capital of culture celebrations.
