The same guy who brought us the Xbox 360 notebook is at it again, this time with a fully functional, 16-pound PlayStation 3 laptop. Gorgeous, yes, but there's only one, and it's about to be auctioned off for charity.

Game modder Ben Heck, also known for his Wii laptop and the one-handed Xbox 360 controller, spent a year and a half working on the PS3 laptop (at the behest of the bloggers at Engadget). While it's not exactly small enough to slip into a laptop, it comes fully loaded with a 17-inch, 720p-capable display, an HDMI-DVI output, built-in stereo speakers, a Blu-ray drive, and a full-on QWERTY keyboard. Even better: It was build with the innards of an older, 60GB PlayStation 3, which means it's fully backward-compatible with PS2 games.

Click here for the complete photo gallery of the PS3 laptop—and in case you were wondering, Heck says he's not building another, so better warm up your wallet for the impending auction (check out Engadget for the details).

    That is totally slammin! That's the only kind of "modding" I like to see. No modding of the PSP. Leave it the way God (Sony) intended it to be.
