ok, has anyone put a faceplate on their PSP? Because I really want to get one, but Im bad with changing things usually, and i dont want to fuck it up beyond recognition(as in messing up the LCD display) so basically, exactly how easy is it? and what does yours look like? Pictures would be nice.

Dood get the limited edition liquid metallic. (silver)

Nah button changing is simple man, the hardest part is trying to get the dust out of the screen afterwards.

Trust me if you open up the psp faceplate you will get a bit of dust in on the inside of the screen.
Its ok when the psp is turned on, you cant see the dust. When it is off tho the dust is very visible. I think you need to open it in a vacuum sealed area. Its no biggie after about a week but when your putting the faceplate on you will notice it heaps.

depends,
i would go to a console modder they usually sell parts or repairs consoles. That way you can see what it looks like in real life and it shouldnt be too expensive. The guy i go to sells his psp faceplates for AU$20, they are the clear ones like the blue one, but you get to see if you like it before its yours.
If you got no other choice, then ebay or or lik sang should be ok, esp ebay i doubt they can rort you on a faceplate, it aint gonna come bricked lol

Yeap just those screws, but to get to one of the screw on the inside of the battery cover you have to lift the void warranty seal.
If your careful you shouldnt have to lift it too much, and so it wont be visibly damaged.

im guessing, barely lift the sticker, and then set it back on it when u are done...other than that it voids it...but y 2 month warranty is long gone...so i dont care...
