Fan makes his own Gunmetal PS3

by Andrew Yoon { May 21st 2008 at 12:15PM }

Why bother with Konami's ridiculously overpriced Metal Gear-themed Gunmetal PS3 when you can simply make one? That's the mentality PlayStation forum user dieselstation had when he did a very careful paint job on his PS3. If he has the 80GB model, he already has a system far superior to Konami's offering. Heck, it would be able to play the Metal Gear Solid games from the PS2 era. Good job, dieselstation!

Shh! Don't say that, you might get banned! Oh, wait, this isn't Kotaku.

Oh wait, this isn't a website that encourages intelligent, thought out, contributing comments.

that's pretty damn nice. I would do this if I knew what kind of paint he used . . . and if i had time to kill.

Never got the whole buying another version because of a new colour / modding the appearance of the one you got in the first place.

I took a photo of the Gunmetal in Tokyo. I'll stick it up on flickr later and post a link. Why? Why not. I also have a photo of a WALL of coloured PSPs.

Amazingly no one looks at you strangely in Japan for taking pictures of electronics. Perfectly normal.

I also have a pic of a Softmap girl dressed in full-on manga gear, sticking her tongue out and giving me the "peace" sign. I'm keeping that one for myself though.

Buying another console you have for appearance I don't understand... Modding however isn't such a bad idea. Hell, stores still sell faceplates for the 360 and skins for the PSP.

I was never really into that, but I did paint my Dreamcast controllers separate colors though... And they look damn nice.
